I have a windows 10 Pro 64 bit system
I have an Ultimate IO Board
Im using latest version of WinIPAC v2 to map a control panel button to F13.
AutoHotKey receives F12 key when pressed perfectly..... but doesnot receive F13
Anybody have any ideas?

WTF is F13?
-
The function key # 13
I'm trying to send a key from my control panel that wont conflict with anything
F13 seems perfect since its supported by windows but not found on most keyboards
But its not working.....AutoHotKey isn't seeing the keypress for some reason that I can't figure out

Use one of the other few dozen keys that do work. :dunno
-
Yeah,
I was trying to find key that would never conflict with any game.
I guess that was a bad idea
thanks

Not sure but could be because function keys 13 - 24 are shifted keys already ( Shift + F1 = F13 ) - so autohotkey probably will not work with them ( ie. does it work differentiating "a" from "A" or does it just see both as an A and ignore the shift ?? )

I honestly didn't know that there were defined function keys > 12.

Not only are they defined - some PC keyboards used to have them as full size physical keys.

Eh I think a better way to put it is they used to be defined. As already mentioned they are actually just shift+f1 to f12 and they are relics from back when guis weren't the norm.
