Turn Numlock into a Tab key. Won't eat the numlock command.

[frank]

I do a lot of number entry needing the Tab key but I wish I could just use my right hand.
I never use the numlock and want to turn it into another Tab key.

But when I hit it, Tab is performed but num lock is also toggled.

So macro contains:

Code:

Copy      Help

key T

And the trigger is Num Lock with Eat checked off. Am I missing something?

Let the macro also press NumLock to restore its previous toggle state. 'Eat' must be unchecked.

Macro
Trigger O 0x1     

Code:

Copy      Help

key T

ifk- O 1 ;;if NumLock not toggled
,rep() ifk(O) 0.01; else break ;;wait for NumLock up
,key O ;;press NumLock

Tested only on Vista.

doesn't work in XP
numlock continues to toggle most of the time.

can I turn numlock back on at the end of the macro REGARDLESS of its current state?

Now should work, I changed the code.

Works great Gintaras.
Thanks!
