[BugReport] Why Is My Alt Key Not Working.

[Daan]

Hi,

Today I recieved my Rubberducky. While I was waiting for it to arrive I thought up some nice pranks. One is a MS Word version of the Lock Your Computer Message. I started working on it immediately. But....

Everything in the script works accept the ALT key. When the ALT+n command is given it produces a Ñ in the Word document. It should be pressing ALT+N to get some options on the ribbonbar. I even tried creating a small scritp opening a notepad and closing it with ALT+F4 but there the ALT key also does not work.

I am running on Win 7 and tried it on XP and Ubuntu. In Ubuntu I ran the script in Gedit to see what the output was and it also produced a Ñ.

The encoding of the script I tried was done with

• Gedit and Java on Ubuntu
  
• Notepad++ on windows7 and http://www.iducke.com
  
• Notepad++ and Java on Windows 7
  
• notepad and http://www.iducke.com
  

Everything gives me the same stupid Ñ . And not the wanted options on the ribbon bar. I am trying to add an image with an url. It works perfect when I type it myself in Word.

My keyboard setting is US international and I even tried US. Same problem.

Does anyone know a solution to my problem. It would give me a lot of more fun for some scripts when the ALT key would work.

Thanks.

Here is the script I use.

DELAY 2000
GUI r
DELAY 500
STRING winword
ENTER
DELAY 2000
STRING Blablablablablablabla
ENTER
STRING Blablablablablablabla
ENTER

See if it works on another computer. This will tell you if its a script problem or a computer problem. I would test it myself but I let one of my friends borrow mine. I would go ahead and try encoding it on a different computer too.

Make sure none of this is enabled when encoding your script:

Check for any num lock, fn lock (function key), scroll lock, etc.

Too bad. That did not do the trick.

I tried some other computers. Same problem.

Checked the keyboard settings. They are as they should be.

The weird thing is that if I type the commands manually on my keyboard it runs perfect. If the Ducky does it, it gives me the strange Ñ in the Word document instead of executing the ALT+N that would give me the ribbon options.

Any more ideas on this issue.

Hi,

can you try with the encoder here ?

I'm not sure but I think that I have fixed a bug in the ALT combination.

It was typing the key and not the modifier or something like that.

That did the trick. Awesome. Thank you so much Dnucna. This really helps. As soon as I have the script complete I will post it here.

Kudos to Dnucna on this one... :)
