If it really is your keyboard I suggest buying a new one..

You go from using £ in the title to 3 in your posts, which makes this sound less believable. If this really is a keyboard problem, then getting a new keyboard is your best bet, like Hugolord mentioned.

Yeah , without a "letter" it's hard to do something.

You could try something like this and have it in the task tray (Like next to the clock). So when you press f10 it will type 'e'.

program New;
{.include srl/srl.scar}


begin
setupsrl;
repeat
wait(100);
if isFkeyDown(10) then sendkeys('e');
until false
end.

Edit: Crap! Don't put GetSelf.Hide; in it! I cant find the SCAR anymore lol. Does any one know where it goes?

EDIT: Made a small Vb6 program that replaces for me. Still working on it, and still gonna buy a new keyboard. Copy and pasted the E, time after time. Not easy.

Try this:


program New;
{.include srl/srl.scar}


begin
setupsrl;
repeat
wait(100);
if iskeydown('3') then
begin
Keydown(8);
Keyup(8);
sendkeys('e');
End;
until false
end.

It works perfectly imo :).

Why are you including SRL? you don't even use it.

I copy/pasted Noidea's and modified it, :P.

ah cheers guys. the idea of replacing 3 with e would work until you were working with numbers. Thanks for your time and effort, anyways. Swapped 3 with F2 and it works OK. Now I got a VB6 copy and a SCAR copy! Rep+ for everyone!

Lol just shut down your computer and restart if you cant find it in the task manager but yeah Huglords right if its not under task manager its probably not even running
