Shift + Control Keystroke combo not recognized

[brianr-is]

Hello,

 

I tried incorporating the following keystroke combination (Shift + Control) into a macro and the macro is halted and doesn't seem to recognize that keystroke combination. Should this be happening?

The application you're running it in might have something to do with it.

 

Does this control + shift work else where? If so, you might be forced to use a different combination due to the application blocking it

This keystroke combination is used in our application to highlight several records and that is what I am trying to do. It works fine in the application but, not in the macro.

The most likely reason I can think of is that you specified a capital letter where you need lower case. Let's say the hotkey is Ctrl + Shift + T.

 

Instead of this:

 

<CONTROL><SHIFT>T

 

Try this:

 

<CONTROL><SHIFT>t

This is a great idea Alan. To also expand on this, you could try Control down and shift down

 

<CTRLD><SHIFTD>T<CTRLU><SHIFTU>

 

In my experience sometimes an interface doesn't register some actions very quickly.

There is no additional letter in the keystroke combination. It is strictly holding down the Shift + Right Control keys to highlight all records. I should have specified right control key.

I found a workaround in the application for this topic. There is a select all icon in the NUI version of the application that can be clicked on to highlight all of the records. Thanks anyway. Problem resolved.

Using <RCTRL><SHIFT>character could give you in a more reliable script than one that clicks on an icon. It's not like mouse manipulation macros cannot be made reliable; but it is harder!
