Keys get stuck when using HIDmacros with AutoHotkey

Post by aziwa » 10 Apr 2015, 18:06

Hi there and first of thank you for this great program.

I have an issue however:

When I rapidly repeat a macro sending a keystroke sequence it ever so often happens that one of the keys gets stuck being recognized as pressed and I have to press and release the key manually to reset it.
Is there any way to fix this?

Thanks again and cheers

Please provide example of your macro definition (what sequence are you sending)

Yes. Also I think I have found the source of the issue.

I use the predefined Send Keyboard Sequence option. The sequence I am sending is ^i.

Now I have found out that with only HIDmacros running the issue doesn't occur.
However I additionally run the AutoHotkey script: ^i::Media_Play_Pause and this seems to trigger it.
(The Ctrl key get's stuck)
So it seems to be a problem between HIDmacros and Autohotkey.

Also it doesn't seem to depend on repeating the macro rapidly, I don't quite understand it fully yet.
Maybe I am just not understanding the interaction between the two programs well enough yet.


So maybe you have some advice for me because it is quite annoying as of now ;)
