I've used AHK in the past and have used Ditto, the clipboard manger, for years. I recently got a new computer and installed Ditto, works great and Ctrl+Shift+v is set as my hotkey to paste without formatting. After a few weeks I installed AHK and getting back into setting up my scripts. Works great too.
For some reason though I notice when AHK is running the Ditto hotkey isn't working. It's now acting like I hit the AppsKey button. I don't have ^+v mapped anywhere in AHK and if I view the currently running Hotkeys it's not listed.
However, when I right-click on the tray icon and suspend hotkeys Ditto works once again.
So AHK is clearly intercepting Ctrl+Shift+V but I can't tell why or how.
Any help?

Re: Ditto clipboard manager not working when AHK is running
Not really help - but I use Ditto and AutoHotkey in parallel for years now without any problems .... (currently: Win7 X64 Ultimate, Ditto 3.21.134, AHK 1.26.0 or AHK 2.0-a80)
Re: Ditto clipboard manager not working when AHK is running
Try starting AutoHotkey first, Ditto second (if you start Ditto first at the moment). Perhaps run AutoHotkey as Administrator might help (perhaps there are keyboard hooks the "conflict" and it gives the last one started precedence). Perhaps there is a "hook" setting in Ditto. Good luck.
Just so you know: ClipJump is a popular AutoHotkey clipboard tool which you could try, perhaps you'll like it enough to ditch Ditto.

Re: Ditto clipboard manager not working when AHK is running
I'm a bit like hoppfrosch, also using Ditto & AHK for years without issues only differences are I'm on Win 10 Home (build 15063.483) and using a different hotkey in ditto (Ctrl+Win+v) not due issues just find it easier to use than ctrl & shift, but changing ditto's hotkey could be another option, depending on how ingrained the hotkeys are to you of-course (so maybe not).

^+v being captured by AHK. Why??
I've used Ditto, an awesome clipboard manager, and AHK for years since Win7. No idea why but ever since moving to Win10 over a year ago AHK keeps capturing Ctrl-Shft-v, which is what I have always used for Ditto's text only paste, and brings up a context menu as if I hit the AppsKey. I use tons of other Ditto functions so I'm not looking for AHK to do a text paste for me. I want this passed to Ditto.
I don't have ^+v anywhere in my script (and I only use a single AHK script) so I have no idea what's going on. If I suspend hotkeys in AHK then it works great using Ditto's text only paste feature.
When I open AHK and see the most recently used script lines this is what I see just after I press Ctrl-Shft-v:
235: SetKeyDelay,-1
235: Send,{Blind}{AppsKey Up}
235: Return (6.75)
Why is that? Where is this coming from?
I tried adding the following to my script to basically pass on Ctrl-Shft-v and do nothing in AHK:
~^+v::Return
But this didn't have any effect.
Any idea what's going on or how I can fix it?
Thanks!

In doubt, show your script...
Btw, which AHK version?
