Wrong interpretation sent keys from text epanders

Post by *Mikaelo »

I would like to ask you on your eventually experience with sending keyboard shortcuts or text commands from external programs like text expander software, like PhraseExpress, aText or TypeButler into TC. I have tried all mentioned above, but TC always interprets sent keys or characters differently than sent from the programs listed. The language setting of my system is Czech.
Do you have any experience? Any tips? Advice?
THNX, Michael

Mikaelo,
Can you give us some examples? AutoHotkey sends keys to TC just fine.

Mal angenommen, du drückst Strg+F, wählst die FTP-Verbindung (mit gespeichertem Passwort), klickst aber nicht auf Verbinden, sondern fällst tot um.

There are problems with similar programs in the quick search/filter dialog, but they are more related to an unsuccessful replacement than to encoding, since they print the text character by character, rather than inserting the entire text.
Overquoting is evil! 👎

I tried send password from PhraseExpress, aText and TypButlerr and TC interprets the sent password badly. For example Notepad shows sent text correctly. But TC and the Master Password dialog box shows sent text badly - checked Show password.
If I sent same text into NotePad and into TC Main Password box and result is on the screen

TC changes the letter case. Numbers sometimes shows as letters.

Mikaelo,
TC uses some security methods to stop potential keyloggers from stealing passwords while they are typed in. Try editing wcx_ftp.ini and under [General] add the line:

Code: Select all

Allowhook=0
and restart TC. (If the line is already there, change the value to =0.)
