RE: OT "...greatest keyboard(s)..."

[Brian.Henderson@xxxxxxxx]

I'm still trying to figure out how this program works (maybe it's just
me but I don't find the instructions particularly clear).
I did manage to change my right ctrl key to a functioning Win key using
"RControl::RWin". I think the technique that uses the "#" symbol is for
putting the result of Win key combinations under a 3rd key...I think...I
may be wrong.

Maben,

Yes, I'm sure--I got the syntax from AHK Help and I tested it on my system.
The pound sign is the symbol used to indicate the Win key has been
struck--e.g.,

#A::Send Winkey-A has been struck

But that's for when you have a Win key. Thank of # as meaning ScanCode 15B
(which is what it is, in hex I think). You have no key that outputs 15B.
So you want to assign some other key (e.g., right-control) to output that.

The correct instruction will work regardless of your keyboard, because the
whole point of it is to reinterpret *whatever* your kbd puts out.

To get things working right, you should use AHK's "keyhistory" function to
look at what is actually being sent and received, at the scancode level.

Assign keyhistory to some keystroke. I use ctrl-alt-k:

^!k::keyhistory

The keyhistory window is rather awkward and technical, but if you scroll up
to the headings of each column, you should be able to get valuable info
from it. (In referring to its output, note that it distinguishes
key-down and key-up).

Let me know if you have problems (you could send me your AHK script for
debugging here if you wish).
