Can't get a simple SendInput script to work Topic is solved

[ManualColdkey]

I use this script to change from the taskbar between layers of X-Mouse control, to change what my mouse's buttons do. I had setup a hotkey (Crtl Shift + ù) to make the switch. Later i decide to change it because I needed that combination for other pourposes. I decided to use AltGr + Numbpad3.
The old code works:

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0
SendInput(">^+{ù}")
Return

But this new one does not:

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0
SendInput("<^>!{Numpad3}")
Return

I read the documentation but I don't get why it does not work. It seems to me that it should work just the same.
Where is my mistake?

(I'm sorry if this sounds like a stupid question, but I've been working on this for a while with no luck. At least I hope the answer will not be too much trouble)

Try

Code: Select all

SendInput("^!{Numpad3}")

Afaik, < and > are only supported in hotkey definitions (left side of the ::), not with Send and its variants. At least, they won't do what you seem to expect - they will send a literal character, though (which might or might not interfere with what you are doing).

The above seems to work for AltGr without specifying left and right variants. Alternatively, this should work as well:

Code: Select all

SendInput("{LCtrl down}{RAlt down}{Numpad3}{LCtrl up}{RAlt up}")

It works, thank you for your answer @gregster!
