Typing @ symbol with macros o.O

[everyone]

More or less how do I do it o.O

I haven't used QM in in a couple years so I am trying to find a use for it and wanted to have it log me into my social sites and they require the email address. I've tried using ...

key S2
... and ...
key @

but all they do is give me 2 o.O

I'm also thinking my version might just be ancient now that I look its 2.2.0.11 ... is the best solution to just upgrade?

... will that solve my problems?

I really don't want to unless I have to I struggle with *change* and QM took a while to learn in its current form I don't want to have to learn a new interface unless I have too o.O

... any help and advice appreciated


EDIT: I updated the program but I still can't get it to type @

Where (in what windows) it does not work?
What keyboard layout (language) you use?
What keys you press manually to enter @?

What is your Quick Macros version? I recommend to download QM 2.3.3. It better supports various keyboard layouts.
{deleted post}

key "@" presses Shift+2 or other keys (depending on keyboard layout) that normally type character @. If in some windows it does not work, try this:
Macro Macro995

Code:

Copy      Help

opt keychar 1
key "@"

It sends character, not keys.
For this you need QM 2.3.3.

Maybe the window uses nonstandard keyboard input, and need to send keys slower. Then try:

Code:

Copy      Help

spe 500
opt slowkeys 1
key "@"

What is your Quick Macros version?

I was using QM 2.3.2.8 version, will get QM 2.3.3.4 now.

Where (in what windows) it does not work?

The macro is running in Rockmelt window, and it works almost every other time.

What keyboard layout (language) you use?

Standard US KLeyboard Layout in US/English (guessing o.O ???)

What keys you press manually to enter @?

Shift+2 is the key I usually press.

I think you probably got it sorted with slow keys cause I added a delay to get it to do whats its doing now and it does work I just double the login.

Code:

Copy      Help

// Logging In
dou 1100 540 w1; 0.49
key everyone; 1.49
key "@gmail.com"; 1.49
dou 1100 540 w1; 0.49
key everyone; 1.49
key "@gmail.com"; 1.49
// Send Login
lef 1080 600 w1; 12.99

... will try the new suggestions and ty again


EDIT: Slow Keys didn't help and I didn't try setting the opt keychar 1 since the keys are right and it works on almost every other time as it is. I am running with a lower spe number though I've been running with spe 10 should I increase the number?

Could the spe number be the problem I have with it?
