[v2.0.13+ bug] "up" and "down" states make hotkeys invalid

[Askeron52]

Lines such as the following do not work for me since 2.0.13 (still broken in 2.0.14), but used to work in 2.0.12:

Code: Select all

+ up:: WheelUp
- up:: WheelDown
Space up:: Enter

These lines give "Error: invalid hotkey"

Your remappings used to rely on a bug or rather missing error detection, which is now fixed since v2.0.13:

The purpose of a remapping is to remap one key to another, not the release of a key to another key.

Try instead:

Code: Select all

+ up::Send("{WheelUp}")
- up::Send("{WheelDown}")
Space up::Send("{Enter}")

The proposed solution still crashes the script in both 2.0.13 and 2.0.14 (curiously, it also crashes in 2.0.12, while the original code didn't).
My interpretation is that putting "up" or "down" after a key as part of a remapping breaks the parsing of the script, since the given error is A ":" is missing its "?" (I guess the first colon after 'up' is interpreted as part of a ternary operator, which is not the case)

I can't reproduce this. Nothing crashes here with v2.0.14. The code above works as expected. (But of course, down shouldn't be used on the left side of ::, following a key name. And for a remapping, up shouldn't be used either, as already noted. It could still be used for a hotkey definition.)

What does msgbox A_AHKversion say ?
What is the exact code you are running? What else is in your script?

So, I did a more thorough test and can confirm that indeed you were right, the proposed code works in all three versions (it wasn't working earlier because of another problem in my script).
I'd say the issue is figured out now, thanks to you!
