Autohotkey not working in CCS64 emulator?

[nappyjim]

Noobie here, but I created a very very very simply AHK script that works in windows. 

When I press x, ALT+F4 is sent. 

I test this in notepad. 

Press x, notepad closes.  Perfect.

 

Open up CCS64, press ALT+F4 to just prove that key combo will close it, it does.

Press x, nothing happens.

I know CCS64 recognizes the x key because pressing ALT+x also closes CCS64.  

 

SO why is AHK not working in CCS64?  others seem to post scripts for CCS64 so it must work.

 

Here is my script:

x::
send {alt down}
send {F4}
send {alt up}
return

Try adding "$"

$x::
send {alt down}
send {F4}
send {alt up}
return

If that don't work, you could always use

$x::
{
WinClose, ahk_exe ccs.exe
}

Joe,

Thanks but neither of those work.  It weird because just launching CCS your taken to the the prompt where you have to type in RUN, or something, ya know.

 

So if I press, Z on my keyboard, a Z is input on the screen.  But when I press X, an X is NOT input onto the screen.  So the AHK is working, but Ill be damned if CCS doesnt close!  

 

Alt-X will also close CCS.  So I tried putting Alt-X into the AHK scrip, no dice.

$x::
{
WinClose, ahk_exe ccs64.exe
}

I guess we need to make sure we're inputting the actual program's executable name that we're trying to close.  

And if for some reason you're using "CCS64-2005.exe", change it to that in the code above.

That did the trick!  Thanks
