Exclusive use of Right and Left Windows Keys

cybermat · 13 June 2016, 22:29

I tried with the stable version and with dev one, but playing Slamtilt if i press Left or Right Windows keys, the nudge function properly works, but i have the annoying Start menu that appears under Windows 10.

I tried to search this issue in the forum with no luck and i dug on help online without finding anything helpful.

Hope you can help me

Maybe i have not properly explained this issue.
Is there a way to prevent right and left windows keys functionality when FS-UAE is running ?

Any help please !

You can also remap the keys in Slam Tilt menu. Or try the WHDLoad version. It has CD32 pad support. Works great.

Strange, here iv got windows 10 (win 10 build 10240, 64bit ) and the latest winuae (3.3.0.0). Both Windows keys (left and right) aren't triggering the menue or startmenue. The only thing that is working, is LeftWindows key + L, which is locking the PC.
LWin + E is not working under winuae, but it works on desktop.

Iv tested it with winuae 32 and 64bit, and it is the same with the previous winuae version 3.2.2.0.

Edit:Iv just seen that this is for FS-Uae, and not for WinUae.

Maybe this Autohotkey script can help you, but i think, it will disable the Left and Right windows keys completly (while using fsuae).

#InstallKeybdHook
#UseHook On

#IfWinActive ahk_class SDL_app

LWIN::
#IfWinActive

The start menu appears under Win7 with the LWin Key. On my laptop, that key doesn't bring up the start menu with WinUAE running.

I've not tried it in SlamTilt though.

EDIT: It's a FS-UAE exclusive problem. You need to disable/remap the LWIN key in Windows somehow. Try Dan's script.

Thanks for your suggestions, anyway any fix will be appreciated

At the moment i can play it with Gamebase Amiga with no issues, but since i find FS UAE very nice it's a pity having such an "issue".

@cybermat This will be fixed (FS-UAE needs to be modified to surpress the default behavior of the "Windows key") The solution is known

Hi Frode,
i tried the stable version 2.8, but it seems that is still not fixed. Right ?

FrodeSolheim · 24 October 2016, 21:51

You are right, I didn't fix this yet. Still on my list!

FrodeSolheim · 03 November 2016, 22:02

Fix can be tested with this version: http://fs-uae.net/stable/2.8.0u3/
