This is because the chance of success is low and it may cause unwanted side-effects that are difficult to undo:ĭisable or remove any extra software that came with your keyboard or mouse or change its driver to a more standard one such as the one built into the OS. The following is a last resort and generally should be attempted only in desperation. There may be ways to detect certain keys and buttons using techniques such as DllCall, OnMessage, and RegisterRawInputDevices. Try searching the forum or asking for help there. For example, if you configure a mystery key to send Control+F1, you can then indirectly make that key as a hotkey by using ^F1:: in a script. Such a keystroke can then be defined as a hotkey in a script. Reconfigure the software that came with your mouse or keyboard (sometimes accessible in the Control Panel or Start Menu) to have the "mystery key" send some other keystroke. #c::Send Alternate solutions: If your key or mouse button is not detectible by the Key History screen, one of the following might help: key's virtual key, which can be discovered in the first column of the Key History screen. Replace 159 with the value discovered above.

ReturnReverse direction: To remap some other key to become a "mystery key", follow this example: SC159:: Replace 159 with your key's value. To define this key as a hotkey, follow this example: If your key is detectible, make a note of the 3-digit hexadecimal value in the second column of the list (e.g. For possible solutions, see further below.

If this is the case, you cannot directly make that particular key a hotkey because your keyboard driver or hardware handles it at a level too low for AutoHotkey to access. NOTE: Some keys do not generate events and thus will not be visible here.

Somewhere near the bottom are the key-down and key-up events for your key. Select the menu item "View->Key history" Press one of the "mystery keys" on your keyboard. Double-click that script's tray icon to open its main window. You can tell if a script has the keyboard hook by opening its main window and selecting "View->Key history" from the menu bar. Ensure that at least one script is running that is using the keyboard hook. For example, to use Command-C (copy), press and hold the Command key, then the C key, then release both keys. If your keyboard or mouse has a key not listed above, you might still be able to make it a hotkey by using the following steps (requires Windows XP/2000/NT or later): To use a keyboard shortcut, press and hold one or more modifier keys and then press the last key of the shortcut.
