It is not cool to release breaking changes without notifying the user

I have a lot of SendKeys with the old format CONTROL VK_XX and my automations are breaking.

Please share an update a week before implementing the new updates, especially breaking changes.

Some of my automations also stopped working. But I haven’t had time to evaluate what happened. Is this the issue? Was the SendKeys structure changed? Was this announced anywhere?

Hi @bukit @dudupst ,

I am sorry for this situation, I will check and come back the root cause of this. We probably missed something here. Let me investigate first.

Hi @bukit ,

Could you please let me know which sendkeys are not working.

We have changed structure from Sendkeys VK_XX to Sendkeys XX.

However we kept the old version working as it is.

I just tested and see that Sendkeys VK_D is typing “D”.

Could you please explain which keys are not working for you?

Hi @Zekeriya,

My most used SendKeys that are broken at the time I posted the issue:

CONTROL VK_L
CONTROL VK_W
CONTROL VK_T

LWIN UP
ALT TAB

Well the old version didn’t work but typing a character work, that’s why my scenarios are broken, because CONTROL (replaced with LeftControl), LWIN (replaced with LeftMeta), ALT (replaced with LeftAlt) is not working.

I’ve replaced all to the new structure, but would like to be notified in the future for my automations is crucial for my business operation (job running every 10-15 min and different scenario for specific days and hours).

Our purpose was to keep older version working but seems we missed some buttons.

Sorry for that…
