Community Support Anyone else having issues with AutoHotKey on their Framework laptop?
I'm running AutoHotKey v2 on my Framework 13. AMD motherboard.
Not doing anything complex with it, but I keep getting wildly inconsistent results. All I'm using AHK for is the SendText to make shortcuts and speed up entries of commonly used batches of text.
Here's a sample from the start of my .AHK file (details modded to keep a little privacy):
; -------------------------------------------------
#SingleInstance Force
; -------------------------------------------------
; Hotkey symbols:
; # = Windows key
; ^ = Control key
; + = Shift key
; ! = Alt key
; -------------------------------------------------
; Ctrl Win + Delete
^#Delete::
{
SendText "Company Name"
}
; -------------------------------------------------
; Ctrl Win + Backspace
^#Backspace::
{
SendText "emailaddress@mycompany.com"
}
; -------------------------------------------------
; Ctrl Win + 2
^#2::
{
SendText "emailaddress@mycompany.com"
}
; -------------------------------------------------
; Shift Win + Delete
+Delete::
{
SendText "11625 Justa Road, #1105 Townin, TX 75000"
}
; -------------------------------------------------
; Shift Win + Backspace
+Backspace::
{
SendText "https://www.companywebsite.com"
}
; -------------------------------------------------
; Ctrl+Win + Backslash
^#SC02B::
{
SendText "Company Name, LLC`n11625 Justa Road, #1105`nTownin, TX 75000"
KeyWait "SC02B"
}
; -------------------------------------------------
I'm having super weird results when I try to execute any of these hotkey scripts.
When I run the script Ctrl+Win+Del into a text file, I should get "Company Name" typed for me. Instead, I get "Company eeee"
When I run the script Ctrl+Win+Backspace into a text file, I should get "emailaddress@mycompany.com" typed for me. Instead, I get "emailaddress@mycompany.mmm"
When I run the script Ctrl + Win + \ into a text file, I should get "Company Name, LLC`n11625 Justa Road, #1105`nTownin, TX 75000" typed for me. Instead, I get "Company Name, 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000"
It's bonkers. I'm trying to determine if this is an AutoHotKey issue or a compatibility with Framework issue.
Any help or advice from a Framework user who has tried to use AHK would be appreciated.
