Trouble mapping the keyboard

[Freddie]

I am using an AZERTY keyboard. The slash key "/" is obtained by pressing Shift+":" on such keyboards. When typing Shift+":", I do obtain a slash on my active wow window, but on the background windows I only get a ":".

I apologize for this. Shifted characters don't send properly to background windows. This is one of the unfinished things in the program. However there's a work around.

By the way all the unfinished stuff and known bugs are listed under "Bugs" on the main menu at the top of every web page on HotkeyNet's site. This problem is also mentioned under "limitations" on many of the pages about sending to background windows.

The work around is to use SendWinS instead of SendWinM when you want to send a shifted character to a background window. In other words, you make a special label for just that one character with SendWinS. Then write the hotkey for that character separately with that label. (You can have as many separate <Hotkey> definitions as you want as long as you don't repeat any trigger combinations.)

Note : For whatever reason, I can seem to get AllMainKeys to work properly to replace all the things before "except". I just generates errors saying "Disregarding empty hotkey"

Can you paste the definition that's not working? "Disregarding empty hotkey" means that the definition doesn't tell HotkeyNet to perform any actions.... HotkeyNet is warning you that pressing the trigger won't do anything.
