Autotext not working in Some Microsoft Apps

[ken gray]

Is anyone else having problems with Edge and Skype/Lync not allowing Autotext triggers to work?

When I enter various triggering text, nothing happens.

Non-low-level hooks don't work in these windows. Look in Options / Triggers.

Also, because of the same reason, text typing is very slow. Need to paste or use opt keysync.

sim :opt keysync 1; '"simple text"
simp :"paste text"

this isn't working for me for some reason.

Here's what I have; its a brand new At macro so there are no other items in it.
Autotext Autotext1

arent :opt keysync 1;'"aren't"

Using low-level hooks?

[ken gray]

no. 
do I need them even with "opt keysync"?

[Gintaras]

Yes.
Even when LL hooks are used for triggers, non-LL hooks are used for better key synchronization. At least it worked better when was invented. Then programs where non-LL hooks don't work were rare. Now better default synchronization would be like with opt keysync 2.

Can change default keysync:

Example, in function init:

Code:

Copy      Help

RTOPTIONS x
x.opt_autotext.keysync=1
x.opt_menu_toolbar.keysync=2
;x.opt_macro_function.keysync=2
RtOptions 64 x

Unfortunately I can't use the LL hooks because I use the double keyboard setup and that won't work with the LL hooks.
