If you share your full script, I can have a look at it.

Or you can debug it and find out the culprit line. To do so, comment 50% of your script, save it, reload it, and see if it the letter N still gets blocked... Narrow down your script and in less than 10 minutes you should know what's happening.

Hi Jésus,

I tried removing most of the lines before and after the mappings but to no avail.

Thanks,

Which hotkey do I need press to repro the behavior you mentioned in Studio?

For example, CTRL+L just works fine.

any hotkey with only CTRL as trigger and right afterwards the letter "n" as plain letter. First I thought it was only for CTRL+e which should give "ë" but yesterday it turned out it happened for all other CTRL hotkeys too. I only realilzed it for "ë" as I have to use it quite a lot followed by the letter "n". Strange thing is that all other letters work fine right after pressing a CTRL hotkey and it happens on other PCs too and only in Trados Studio.

Ok, I've been able to repro it exactly as you said (it happens only in Studio, only after writing N) with this single line instead of your whole script:

^l::SendInput £

I don't know the reason behind, but I give you 2 workarounds:

1.- Use a hotkey that doesn't involve the CTRL key. For example, this works for me:

#!l::SendInput £ ; WIN+ALT+L (hotkey WIN+CTRL+L wouldn't work)

2.- Use a hotstring instead, like:

:*:<bp::£ ; less than + B + P

Hi Jesus,

the problem is that for some remapped keys, which I have to use very often, a hotstring would considerably reduce workflow and for some keys I have several other hotkeys set. So I can't replace them that easily.

On the other side, this rather sounds like a Trados issue, so maybe devs should take a look at this?

Maybe SDL can find out what causes this strange behaviour.

Pascal Zotto

I'm afraid I won't be able to get any dev time to investigate this.  If you were using the APIs which we support I would be able to do this, but using AHK it won't happen.  I'd like to, but might as well be up front with you now so you know that you're on your own (and with expert users in here who may be able to help) with AHK.

Hi Jesus,

I solved this with a hotstring using + as trigger:

e.g.

:*:+l::
{
SendInput {£}
}
return

at least it works fine for all letter based remappings I have and is easy to use as I hardly ever use the key +. But I'll still have to find a new trigger for my hotkeys using CTRL+number.

EDIT: ok, works everywhere but not in Trados, at least not everytime.

Good!

The script re-maps PLUS + L to the pound sterling symbol.

Now the cumbersome part is creating a whole mnemonic system useful for you.

Your script works fine for me in Studio. I've tried 40 times and always worked as supposed…

Jesús Prieto

I found the error, I must use:

:*?:+e::
{
SendInput {ë}
}
return

The first version works fine at the beginning of a word but I need the diacritic letters within words and that was when it did not work anymore e.g. type n and then the hotstring should not trigger. The ? prevents this behaviour within words.

For remapping using numbers I use ! instead of ^, from what I saw there is no interference with any existing native mapping.
