Remaping Ctrl as Esc+Ctrl with polish,accent characters hangs Topic is solved

[lluke]

I have remaping code for Ctrl. Ctrl + key behaves as normal. If Ctrl is pressed alone it behaves as ESC.

#InstallKeybdHook

Code: Select all

LControl::
g_DoNotAbortSendEsc := true
Send {LControl Down}
KeyWait, LControl
Send {LControl Up}
if ( A_PriorKey = "LControl")
{
	if(g_DoNotAbortSendEsc){
		Send {Esc}
	}
}
return

    g_DoNotAbortSendEsc := false
    return

Problem appears when I type polish characters like: "ą"(Alt Gr + a) etc. "ę","ń". Scripts behaves like Ctrl is presssed and not released. I have to press ESC(or Ctrl alone) to release this action.

How to fix this behaviour so I type polish characters and not beeing blocked?

Hallo,
only a try:

Code: Select all

~<^>!::Return
LControl::
g_DoNotAbortSendEsc := true

etc.

What is going on here actually?

~<^>!::Return

It looks like it solve a problem. Thank you.

Hallo,
~ (Tilde) when the hotkey fires, its key's native function will not be blocked.
<^>! = AltGr see http://ahkde.github.io/docs/Hotkeys.htm#AltGr
:: = Hotkey
Return = do not do anything else!

[lluke]

This solution works for pervious example but I have tried this solution:

Code: Select all

~<^>!::Return

for script below and unfortunatelly it dosn't work in this case and accent characters blocks. What might be wrong?

Code: Select all

$Ctrl::Send {Ctrl Down}
$Ctrl UP::
    ChordIsBroken := True
    Send {Ctrl Up}
    Return
^q::
    ChordIsBroken := False
    Input, OutputVar, L1 M
    If (!ChordIsBroken && Asc(OutputVar) = 6)
    {
        MsgBox "Hello, World!"
    }
    Else
    {
        SendInput %OutputVar%
    }
    Return

Hallo,
my "solution" unblocks Alt Gr and this is unnecessary here because Alt Gr seems not to be blocked
(my german "Alt Gr"-characters: @€µ|~²³{[]}\ can be entered).
Which accent characters are blocked, and how exactly are they entered?
I do not know what your script should do, but I would replace this:

Code: Select all

$Ctrl::Send {Ctrl Down}
$Ctrl UP::
    ChordIsBroken := True
    Send {Ctrl Up}
    Return

with that:

Code: Select all

~Ctrl Up::ChordIsBroken := True

Thank you for your reply
My goal with this script is to have many fast shortcuts to run apps. I copied it from here:
https://superuser.com/questions/724653/ ... 303#725303
I want to have shortcuts while holding CTRL all the time:

Code: Select all

CTRL + g g  = run gvim
 CTRL + g t  = run todo
 CTRL + g e  = reload explorer
 etc...

This script:

Code: Select all

$Ctrl::Send {Ctrl Down}
$Ctrl UP::
    ChordIsBroken := True
    Send {Ctrl Up}
    Return
^q::
    ChordIsBroken := False
    Input, OutputVar, L1 M
    If (!ChordIsBroken && Asc(OutputVar) = 6)
    {
        MsgBox "Hello, World!"
    }
    Else
    {
        SendInput %OutputVar%
    }
    Return

is simplified version of my script (with a lot of such a shortcuts). Script works fine, but for some reason, while my normal typing, CTRL is blocked. It behaves like it is still pressed. Then when I press for ex: 'a' it behaves like CTRL + a (select all). So it is quite anoying This behaviour is for ALL letters that are typed with ALTGr, not only polish letters, even if I press ex: AltGr + P it not produce letter but CTRL is blocked.
Ex: I press
ALTGr + o it typed ó and next charater let say is 'a' so it behaves like Ctrl + a. To release this behaviour (holded Ctrl) you need to press ESC key.

Your last solution:

Code: Select all

~Ctrl Up::ChordIsBroken := True

blocks even more so I cannot easly get rid of this behaviour by pressing ESC

Hallo,
try:
If the Ctrl key is pressed alone, Esc will be sent after releasing
(In my opinion, you should better do without THIS!)
Typing polish characters like: "ą"(Alt Gr + a) etc. should be possible.
^g -shortcuts while holding CTRL all the time:
CTRL + g g = run gvim
CTRL + g t = run todo
CTRL + g e = reload explorer etc...also.
^g alone has its native function.

Code: Select all

~Ctrl UP::
	If GotoApp
	{
		Input ;interrupts GotoApp-Input
		HotKey, ^g, Off ;allows to send ^g
		Send ^g ;^g alone has its native function
		HotKey, ^g, On
	}
	If !GetKeyState("RAlt")
		Send {Esc}
Return
^g:: ;goto App
	GotoApp := True
    Input, App, L1 M ;GotoApp-Input
	GotoApp := False
	If !App
		Return
	App := Chr(Asc(App)+96)
	If App = g
		MsgBox, run gvim
	Else If App = t
		MsgBox, run todo
	Else If App = e
		MsgBox, reload explorer
Return

Hallo,
try:
If the Ctrl key is pressed alone, ESC will be sent after releasing
...

Your script works fine for Polish charaters, but there is conflict with first script
https://autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic ... 99#p205499
at this topic. Ctrl up+[key] combination send ESC instead do the desired operation (like ex: selection). It just send ESC while released with other key. For example: I press Ctrl + A and while I hold Ctrl key, text is selected. When I release Ctrl it just sends ESC and selection is vanished.
How to fix this?

Thank You for your help
