hotkey does command but doesn't do Key Topic is solved

[lolzbroz6]

I made a simple hotkey script but I ran into the problem that when I hit E (my hotkey) it does the command but doesn't register as an E on my keyboard, for example when I hit E to copy the selected text it works but if I need to type into google and search something if I hit E it will do the script and it won't type the E in whatever I'm searching!
How can I fix this without changing my hotkey to a different one

Code: Select all

#warn
#SingleInstance Force
a::
msgbox test

Maybe my solution to another post will help you... Created a toggle Hotkey to enable/disable the hotkeys temporarily.

Thanks! I modified the script a little bit but you gave me the right idea!!
The code is now:

Code: Select all

#NoEnv
#Warn
SendMode Input
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%
#SingleInstance Force

toggle = 1
#if toggle = 1
a::
msgbox test
toggle = !toggle
SendRaw a
toggle = 1

You can also try this:

Code: Select all

~a::
	MsgBox, Test
return

The ` tilde character will allow the hotkey to perform its original function in addition to the code you provide.

That means it will execute the MessageBox code, and also send the letter "a".
