Problems with /sendkey down ctrl

[MQUser_98]

First off: MacroQuest is awesome

I downloaded it some days ago and played a bit with it figuring out the commands and such, but I stumpled across a little problem while trying one of the Tradeskills-Macros:

/sendkey down ctrl isnt actually pressing the ctrl-key on my system
(manually holding down the ctrl-key while the macro is making kiola works just find though, since I mostly will use MQ for just speeding up my usuall tradeskillings (mostly brewing alc for my guild ) these is still acceptable)

I can only think of 3 things that could cause this:

1) Non-US-Keyboard-Layout. I allready swithed to US-Keyboard-Layout but that didn't solve anything

2) WinME: I figured, since this is a new feature that there could be a problem (read: bug) with MacroQuest running under WinME

3) EQW: allthough I'm running the newest EQW-Version (2.22) there was a problem with keyboards not responding with EQW a few months ago, perhaps has something to do with that... /shrug

Anyone else having this problem?
Any other info I can provide to help you out there?

Thanks in advance and sorry for any misspelling, not native english here

Ran into a similar problem with my setup.

Here is the problem. I am running a Danish version of windows - hence a command like:

/sendkey down up

Actually has to be typed:

/sendkey down op

Your version of windows is probably non-US just like mine and is sending keys translated. The problem i was having with the macro wasnt actually with CTRL but with SHIFT. I needed to translate SHIFT to SKIFT.

Danish Translation I was able to figure out were the following:

UP = OP
DOWN = NED
SHIFT = SKIFT
LEFT = VENSTRE
RIGHT = HØJRE
CTRL = CTRL

That was all i tested as they were the only ones that applied to what I was working on at the time. Not sure if there are more but if I run into any I will let others know.


Hope this helps.

German Version here and
/sendkey down STRG
does the trick for me...

didnt need any other keys yet, so havent figured them out yet.

Thanks for the quick response
