shift key is being pressed on and off and i dont know why

[NewberEnerNeeder]

ummm okay well i thought i had a good working script but it still kinda works.

The problem is i think when it sends the info to the notepad i think maybe some how the shift button is being pressed on and off because words like ahk_id come back as ahk-id or the numbers 843 comes back as *43 on the notepad like shift is being held down for a moment once in a while, even some words in like the title coMe bAck witH caPs oN.

does anyone have an idea how to fix this?

Bear in mind that Send A with hold shift because you asked it to send an upper case A.
Conversely, if shift was held and you did Send a it would release shift, hit a, then hold shift.

To stop this behavior, put {Blind} at the start of the send: Send {Blind}a

well, hmm...

this is the line of code i use to send with:

Code: Select all

controlSend,Edit1, ahk_id %id%`nahk_class %class%`n%title%`nControl: %control%`n %xpos% %ypos% `n `n,Untitled - Notepad

i dont think i am pressing shift anywhere in the whole script.

also it is random sometimes when i send the mousegetpos to the notepad 2x in a row as a test the caps will be in different spots not the same spots.

i really have no idea why this is happening

if any of the following variables hold upper-case letters (or any other character that requires holding shift to type), the script will hold shift during the send:

id
class
title

Furthermore, you are sending the string "ahk_class".
An _underscore_ requires shift to type.
