Windows 11 Hotkeys did not recognized

Hello,
i don't know what i'm doing wrong, but the Hotkeys sometimes did not work since i use Windows 11.
sometimes they work, and after a restart, they don't.
i have to change the hotkey to an other binding and then, sometimes, they will work again.
I've been using the tool (personally) with W11 for months now, no issues. Before that, since W11 was development release, people were using it without any problem on the hotkeys front.
Would you mind telling me if you are installing or using the portable version, also which hotkeys are you using?
i use AltGr + \ as my hotkey. thats sometimes does't work anymore.
AltGr + F10 is working. as far as i can tell.
i use Autohotkey with a a different keyboardlayout: https://eurkey.steffen.bruentjen.eu/?lang=de
There is on the "" key the "¬" symbol but the settings window show it as an other hotkey:
maybe thats the Problem?
That would be the problem, AltGr is not a key per se but a weird combination of keys meaning: "left Control plus right Alt", sometimes "left Control plus left Alt" and even just Alt (but that one also depends on the application).
It will prove almost impossible to add it into this UI. Not just because space constrains, but because I'll need a keyboard that has the key (I don't own one), and use all the different layouts that make sense of the key (as not all of them work the same). As I recall in a Spanish ISO keyboard I had, it was just Alt if I used European layout but with Latin layout it was Ctrl+Alt. Lastly, not all applications respond equally to the key, so it will still be impossible to get it 100% working.
On top of that, you are combining AltGr with the Numpad keys (that have a different meaning depending on if the NumLock is toggled or not).
My advice would be to not use that key, given how erratic its behavior is. If still want to use it, try manually editing the configuration file:
[HOTKEYS]
default = <^>!\
username = <^>!Numpad9
password = <^>!Numpad8
totp = <^>!Numpad7Links to the key names and the meaning of the symbols is inside the configuratin file.
Hope that helps!
Nice, thank you!
The Config file was the correct hint!
While i experimenting with different Hotkeys, i rebind F13 - F24 to a second Layer on my Keyboard and configured this keys in the config file.
The GUI didn't recognized this funktion keys but thats okay for me.
Glad you got not just your issue solved but also improved upon.
The level of customization one achieves with AHK is so underwhelming... thus, a one-fits-all solution is never achievable, one can only think of so many scenarios :P
