@robodesign
I was thinking it would be helpful to have this OSD display what the "my" script is doing as it does it. Kind of a debugging tool.

Hello, amigos!
Yesterday's update screwed up shortcuts customization. Sorry. Today's update fixes it and makes it much more friendlier - hopefully.

HI Marius.
All the Ctrl-Alt-Shift+Function keys work.
Win+Insert works.
Win+Alt+Insert works.
Shift, Pause works (very handy)!
Ctrl-Alt-Insert, Ctrl-Win-Insert, Ctrl-Shift-Insert, not working, nor do any customized shortcuts (i.e., Shift+Insert, etc.). It does accept the key changes, even if they don't work.
Ctrl-CapsLock works.
Can't customize any of the Other Global Shortcuts, won't accept the keys entered.
Win7 64-bit, AHK_H 1.1.27.06

@Burque505 So..... you can't set new keys? Did you click on the white square and see "press any key" ? I apologize, but it's hard for me to understand what you mean. Some things seem to work, others not. Please be clearer.

Hi, I see you're online, I've only got about 5 minutes before I have to go to work.
As I mentioned, no customized shortcuts work, although they do accept key changes.
Unfortunately, only the first key change is accepted. After that, when I click on the white square and press a key combination, it pulls in what's in the display, not what I press (top three options). Some letters appear in the small edit box to the left of each option, they appear to be part of the text in the display.
Only the top three accept customized keys (albeit extremely erratically and they don't work). None of the other Global shortcuts will even accept keys entered.
The commands for which the keys are defaulted to Ctrl-Alt-Insert, Ctrl-Win-Insert, Ctrl-Shift-Insert do not work, regardless of what I do.
Sorry, more later.
Regards,
burque505

Okay, thank you very much for your feedback. It seems what I made there for key customization is crap.
Don't bother later with that again. I will change that entirely, with something else. When I am done making the new version, I will need you to test it again. I will probably be able to get it done tomorrow.
Thank you.
Best regards, Marius.

@burque505: I managed to finish earlier than I expected. Please test it. It should really work now, to change/customize keys. If it does not... tell me :-).
Best regards, Marius.

The compiled thing doesn't work at all in XP, I think it never did for many AHK_H versions back. I tried compiling some script too (with 1.1.27.06) and it always fails. AHK_H is broken for XP.

Oh, sorry about that. It's obviously nothing I can do about it. Anyways, who's using XP nowadays? :-). Very few. And the numbers get lower day by day.
@Burque505 . Does the compiled version crash for you as well?
Re: [Script] KeypressOSD - Display key press on screen

It doesn't crash, just silently exits after two failed calls, as shown by Dependency Walker:
Code: Select all
GetProcAddress(0x7C800000 [KERNEL32.DLL], "FlsAlloc") called from "MSVCR100.DLL" at address 0x78ABB3BF and returned NULL by thread 1. Error: The specified procedure could not be found (127).

Also, the CRT you're providing with the package is x64 only so it wouldn't work for x86 systems. Unfortunately neither the x86 version provided with the original AHK_H package nor the full package downloaded from M$ and installed in the system folder wouldn't help.
I've heard that phrase "who's using X nowadys" a lot back in the 9x "end days" and still there are people using it today. Same for 2000 and XP.
You had enough proof that many more or less regular things working in XP/7 won't work in the
abomination.
As for the script, maybe it's time to find a safe way to bring it back to AHK_L in fully working shape before it forever breaks away into v2.

The core functionality is working in AHK_L, i mean the OSD. The keyboard beepers and the mouse features do not. Even these, if you start them yourself, separately, they work withj AHK_L as well - AFAIK.

That's precisely why I specified
in fully working shape.
Personally I only want/need the mouse functions (halo and idle halo), the rest is unimportant to me, but the main script manages these mouse functions so it all has to work together. Other people may have other needs but still related to mouse/sound functions.
I'd perform some tests on creating threads in AHK_L but I'd need a really slow machine to check whether they really have any benefit or not in not disturbing the main keyboard input flow - which I suppose is the reason you use additional threads in the first place. But the only slow machine I could use is still off pending repairs, and is running… 98SE. Bummer!

@drugwash: AHK ain't really good for serious programming. C/C++ - yes. KeyPress should be redone in C/C++.
Other than this, I noticed on my 32 GB RAM and Core i7 that if I have many timers, things go astray with AHK, so this is why I created new threads, with AHK_H. I am sure on slow systems it is worse.
And speaking of Microsoft and Windows versions. It is easy to insult or criticise Microsoft for this and that, for breaking backwards compatibility. But, we, as mere users, we do not see the bigger picture. Why this or that happened.
Anyways, we should not go off-topic.
I have a new version:
