Hello£¬Rob£¡

First of all, thank you very much to the development of this mouse gesture software.
It is the best mouse gesture software in Win System.
I found a problem, the code for Win+X Menu are invalid.
acSendKeys("{DELAY=50}@x")

and
acSendWinDown()
acDelay(50)
acSendKeys("{DELAY=50}x")
acSendWinUp()


Is this a bug£¿

I must admit that I'm not familiar with the Win+X key.

Is this for Windows 8? What exactly does that combination do? Searching Google seems to keep referring people using Win+X as a generic placeholder, other than this one:

Windows-X Open Windows Mobility Center.
Windows-X Reject an incoming call (Lync). Note that this key combo does not function if Windows Mobility Center is present on the machine.

ja£¬Win+X Menu is a new feature of win 8. When you use Win-X to display the menu, you see direct links to the command prompt, event viewer, device manager, task manager, control panel and search among other links.

Ok. It's not a bug in S+ as sending the x key works fine as do sending Win up and down. I've tested multiple methods and have confirmed the keys are being sent properly, just ignored by explorer.exe (the owning process for the hotkey). I don't know if explorer is using a low-level method for monitoring key strokes (or ignoring synthesized ones, like sending from S+) or what. I'm travelling for work this week, so I won't be able to look into it any further, but I will try to see if I can come up with something.

With the recent changes this now works for me. I'm running the signed version of S+ from Program Files\StrokesPlus, and as administrator (not sure if the last part matters).

acSendKeys("@x") opens up the menu in the lower left part of the screen.
