Three finger swipe script not working in UWP and Notepad? Topic is solved

[Pabl0]

Hello, noob here. I already searched around the web for this but did not find anything.

I created a script to swipe with three fingers and change windows or show task, depending on the direction:

Code: Select all

!Left::SendInput {Alt down}{Tab}{Alt up}
!Right::SendInput {LWin down}{Tab}{LWin up}

I am using the combination Alt+left/right as swiping with 3 fingers in my touchpad corresponds to these keys.

Well, it is working perfectly with any program except with UWP (such as Settings app, Spotify, or Whatsapp App) or Notepad.

When I am in any program, the output is:

Code: Select all

003: SendMode,Input
004: SetWorkingDir,%A_ScriptDir%
005: Return (3.44)
006: SendInput,{LWin down}{Tab}{LWin up}
006: Return (2.75)
005: SendInput,{Alt down}{Tab}{Alt up}
005: Return (4.83)

While when I am seeing an app like Settings:

Code: Select all

003: SendMode,Input
004: SetWorkingDir,%A_ScriptDir%
005: Return (7.78)

Additional info:
Version 1.1.28.00. Using Alt+Left/Right from the keyboard runs the script perfectly. Pointing normal programs with the cursor while using the conflictive apps does execute the script.
Can someone help me please?

Finally solved it by chance! I noticed that somehow UWP were responding to the three-finger swipe as with the keys PgUp and PgDown. So my new script is:

Code: Select all

!Left::SendInput {Alt down}{Tab}{Alt up}
!Right::SendInput {LWin down}{Tab}{LWin up}
PgUp::SendInput {Alt down}{Tab}{Alt up}
PgDn::SendInput {LWin down}{Tab}{LWin up}

And it is working perfect so far. Thank you @Masonjar13 for trying to solve it .

Try using the keyboard hook:

Code: Select all

#InstallKeybdHook
; or
#UseHook
; or
$!Left::SendInput {Alt down}{Tab}{Alt up}
$!Right::SendInput {LWin down}{Tab}{LWin up}

$!Right::SendInput {LWin down}{Tab}{LWin up}

Thank you for your response, but none of them worked.

Alright, then I'm guessing it's a permissions issue. Are you running the script as Administrator? If not, it's probably the case that the Window you're trying to use it on has Admin or higher privileges and isn't allowing the script to take input. If both processes have Admin privilege, it shouldn't be a problem.

If I'm not wrong, I changed the compatibility settings for all the 4 executables of autohotkey to run them as administrator. I run then the script, it asks me for admin permission, but it stays the same
