MMMPro sometimes add "keypress 1" to the keystroke I entered

[ccchan]

HI

After reboot it almost always are normal,

but after some time, sometimes it will ADD a "keypress 1"" to any key I pressed.

I took a screen shot of it.
1. both mmmp (macro list cleared to empty) and notepad are started.
2. typing in notepad is normal (as shown)
3. type in mmmp, and i only pressed O, but it added a "keypress 1"to each o i pressed.
4. then i typed back in notepad, notepad ALWAYS is normal, so there should be something with mmmp.

ps: I do use autohotkey and mediachance's multi keyboard macros.
both deal with keypress and shortcut etc.
Right after reboot, mmmp is normal,
then i will fire up AHK and MKM.
IF later mmmp got error,
closing of AHK and MKM doesn't help.
Then I have to reboot.

BUT since notepad is normal before and after, i think the system itself is functioning.
(just a guess).

my system:
win10, 64bit, 1809.
intel i7.

thank you.

version is mini mouse macro pro, v7.4.0.0 



ps:
there are times that MMMP, AHK and MKM are working normal together.
thanks.

Hi ccchan,

Thanks for the screenshot.

When MMM records it will pick up any and all key presses that are sent to the system by a keyboard.
I've seen the behavior you describe happen before when an old or broken keyboard had damaged keys. The old/broken keyboard would press down on other keys when fingers tapped on the keyboard.
Do you think this is happening to you? Could it be your keyboard?

I don't know what these other apps do behind the scenes. If your running AHK and MKN at the same time as Mini Mouse Macro, then maybe there is a conflict with some of the system resources needed. Its a long shot, but they are all macro recording software - i assume they are all listening to the system calls.

hi

in the screenshot, i opened both notepad and mmmp,
then type in notepad is normal,
but type in mmmp got error,
then typed back in notepad is normal again.

so I dont think it's my keyboard's problem!


Yet I do agree that autohotkey and MKM which also deal with hotkeys/shortcuts may
disturb the "buffers" in some way?


Let me try use for sometime and see if I can provide more info.

thank you.
