mrousavy / hotkeys Goto Github PK

No matter which hotkey combination I try, the Contructor throws me an exception that the hotkeys may already be occupied.

System.ApplicationException
  HResult=0x80131600
  Nachricht = An unexpected Error occured! (Hotkey may already be in use)

Recently I am exploring how to use this package(dll) with InputSimulator.
I found out that every time I use [new Hotkey ] to monitor hot keys, I have to add a Thread.sleep(100) to insure that the monitored hot key combo is released.
For example:
var key = new HotKey(
(ModifierKeys.Control | ModifierKeys.Alt),
Key.S,
this,
() => {
Inputsimulator...
Inputsimulator...
}
);
This will not generate correct result.
I have to write like this:
var key = new HotKey(
(ModifierKeys.Control | ModifierKeys.Alt),
Key.S,
this,
() => {
Thread.sleep(100)
Inputsimulator...
Inputsimulator...
}
);
This will get the correct result. (Only in this way can the shift+s get released before Inputsimulator is used.)

My application has no window, do you support that?

I tried to add a function to the delegate of your example like this

delegate{
keybd_event(VK_LCONTROL, 0, KEYEVENTF_KEYDOWN, 0);
keybd_event(A, 0, KEYEVENTF_KEYDOWN, 0);
keybd_event(A, 0, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0);
keybd_event(VK_LCONTROL, 0, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0);
}

does not get correct result. why?

I did not use the messagebox in the example. Is that nescessary?

You really should tell the users to add "using mrousavy" in their code...
This is my solution to my problem, but I nearly took an hour to find it out...

Hi i am using the example you provided and tried to invoke ctrl+w when i press ctrl+alt+s，but it turns out to be buggy...
