I have the script:
#F20:: ^!{DEL}
which is suppose to simulate pressing CTRL+ALT+DELETE"
I Viewed the event log and the order in which the keys simulations are sent is completely messed up! What have i done wrong and how can i achieve the desired affect?
Just did some digging, unfortunately Windows does not allow for simulation of Ctrl + Alt + Del. If you want the task manager it brings up simply use:
#F20::Run taskmgr
As ahkcoder pointed out Windows keeps Ctrl+Alt+Del out of reach, see
https://autohotkey.com/docs/commands/Send.htm#Remarks
Apart from that the order of your key history is correct. It's just interspersed with other keys you pressed, likely because your script uses the keyboard hook.
Which in turn would prevent your #F20 Hotkey to work if it is itself triggered from a script. Without seeing your actual script that's about as much as i can think of.

Hello and thank you in advance,
I am wondering if there is a way to change the layout of my keyboard (software-wise).
The problem is that, on my laptop's keyboard, the Page Up and Page Down keys are combined with the Home and End keys respectively (i.e. to use Home, I have to use the command fn+PgUp/Home).
Is there a way for me to switch what my keyboard receives in Windows 8? If I press the PgUp/Home key I would like the Home command to be entered, and if I entered fn+PgUp/Home I would like the PgUp command to be entered.
I have tried googling for this using several different keywords, but haven't been able to find anything.
Any help is appreciated,
Zach
This is a duplicate question.
You can find an answer here:

Keep in mind this does require registry edits which can be dangerous and can lead to critical failures if not done correctly. Always create a restore point before making any registry edits.
My cygwin terminal (known as Mintty) can't work, when I minimize it to the windows taskbar, and restore it, and it will receive the Ctrl-C signal, but i didn't touch any key.
This is wierd. when a long time command is running, i swith it to see wether is finishe, then it is interputed my Ctrl -C. I refresh intall it several times. it's still there.
This situation can also happened when i select some text on the terminal.
Thanks
Some translator software have the "Hyper Translate" function, which will copy texts selected then tries to translate it, the way how it copy strings is to simulate a Ctrl-C from keyboard. When using cygwin or some ssh/telnet terminal tools (e.g. SecureCRT, putty, NX Client..) and the Ctrl-C is not set as the hotkey for copy action, and you tries to select a block of texts, trouble comes.
I guess the one who asking this question is also a Chinese like me. Then, the famous software which will bring this trouble is "Youdao Dictionary".
Disabling the "Hyper Translate / HuaCiFanYi" function of the "Youdao Dictionary" is a remedy.
As Leif Zhang mentioned, if you are using Lingoes or other dictionary you should uncheck the option Translate Selected Text as the following image.
I am looking to develop the raspberry pi into something that I would be able to run a free use public web terminal which would be locked to a certain domain. This is for my employer, a township, who wants to set up terminals around the township so that the less fortunate in our community will be able to contact and interact with the various services that the township provides without having to find a way to the Administration center.
I have been able to get most of what I want working, but I want to disable the Alt key on the keyboard. This will stop users from being able to Ctrl+Alt+Del or Alt+F4 out of the browser environment, and various other features of LXDE that smart users could use to break my kiosk (like virtual terminals). I thought that I had found the method to do this, with xmodmap, but when I ran this command
xmodmap -e "keycode 204 = "
Which to my knowledge should set all mappings for the right Alt key to nothing, still lets me Alt+F4 in chromium and other things.
I also attempted to edit my ~/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml and change the keyboard bindings in it. I was able to disable the Ctrl+Alt+Del through that, but when I change or erase other key bindings in there, nothing happens. So I'm trying to figure out other options I have to disable the Alt key on this application. Any ideas?
Soo, I actually just answered my own question. Fixing the problem indeed lies in the ~/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml file, but I was not doing it right. To set the Ctrl Alt Delete option, you need to change the value between <command></command> to false (or a program that pops up a finger wag to the user).
The problem was, only four or so of the keys entries have a <command> field to them, and all of the other use an <action="whatever"></action> field to define the action that is being performed by the key. I was changing the value of "whatever" to false and was under the impression that would have the same effect as changing the command field.
But really, what you need to do is change the value of "whatever" to "Execute", and then nest a set of <command></command> with a value set to false and it will set the key's mapping to false. I guess there must be a set of default values that are used to override improper changes to the lxde-rc.xml files, and that's why things kept working after removing the entries.
I'm trying to use xdebug with vim on linux. I follow the instructions to install xdebug and after that I can see the information about xdebug if I call phpinfo() from a file inside the apache server.
After open a file in vim, it is supposed that when I press F5 it should show something like "waiting for a new connection on port 9000 for 10 seconds...", but it doesn't show anything..
Any idea?
I would recommend you look at a new vim debugger plugin, called vdebug: https://github.com/joonty/vdebug -- it is actively developed and seems very capable.
I had the same sort of problem, it turned out that my terminal emulator was capturing the keypress and not sending it to vim (I think). Remapping the functions to different keys solved the problem.
It could actually be his/her keyboard. If the keyboard has mult-media functions as well as F1-F12 on them... then there is, usually a "F-Lock" key next to the row of function keys that will turn on/off the function key behavior. Really annoying, IMHO, for the new keyboards sold these days.... and rarely does the keyboard have a light to indicate the ulterior operation of said function keys.
I say this cuz, that is exactly what happened to me just now.
Forgive me if this is a silly question but I am a novice programmer, and I'm hoping there is a novice solution to this.
Is there any programming language that will quickly allow me to write a simple program to show a notification on Windows 7 when CAPS LOCK is pressed?
My laptop doesn't have an indicator light and I have no program on my computer to do so, although I'd be open to suggestions. The only partial solution I've found is through accessibility settings in Windows which plays a god-awful beep every time the key is pressed.
Thanks!
Try Auto Hotkey. It is a great program just for that. It runs scripts in the background that can directly manipulate your keyboards input.
I changed capslock to require ctrl+capslock to work otherwise pressing capslock by itself does nothing :)
You can also do a bunch of other things. You are able to set a custom tone for when you push capslock (however a simple popup or key remapping would probably be best).
Here's an example from the site:
"Capslock::Ctrl Makes Capslock become a Control key. To retain the ability to turn Capslock on and off, also add the remapping +Capslock::Capslock (this toggles Capslock on and off when you hold down the shift key and press Capslock)."
