Alt failing ?

[Nachtwacht]

Hello,

I think the macro I wrote explains itself.... but it fails to work.

When I try to record the macro, when I press the Alt key, the macro recorder does not record my alt key.

The entry you see in the script I entered manualy.

Unfortunatly it does not work... the Alt key does not get pressed. I searched your help files but fail to find problems with that.

Any idea ?

tia !

Hi,

Mini Mouse Macro treats modifier keys (alt, ctrl, shift) a bit differently to other keys when recording. This is because usually they are recorded in combination with other keys. Such as SHIFT+A or CTRL+Z, or a combination.
The default setting in MMM is to not record single key presses with modifiers. This can be changed in the Recording Options - Multi-key Capture setting:



The output of recording a single ALT key looks like this:

1 | 421 | 985 | 1000 | Keypress lmenu
2 | 421 | 985 | 1000 | Keypress rmenu
3 | 421 | 985 | 1000 | Keypress menu

1 - The left ALT
2 - The right ALT
3 - The system ALT

Thanks, I had actualy found those settings and because it showed they were "on" I expected it to capture the key's.

Understand now that the "on" means "multiple key's at the same time" which disables the single key press

Used the lines you put there, works now. Thanks !
