Global Hotkey and Cursor bug. #195
Comments

Hi @ChrisFarmer-dev, about ShareX, It could be a compatibility issue or a limitation of ShareX (actually I don't know this program) I personally use ffmpeg and I've proposed a way to control it from ppInk if you want to try. Obs is used by other users with good results. |

for investigation, can you retry to unset the enter mouse mode with Alt+Tab (1 on image below) Can you try also to kill your key logger/display application Meanwhile, I will try to prepare some debug traces (hope to be able to do that today or tommorow), once available, you will need to active the traces (2 on the image) |
|
PS : for FFMPEG, you need to have the binaries in your path or in the same folder as ppInk. then have a look at the video tab 😀 |
|
I hope this will help. Also if you notice in the recording once I click the cursor icon as well and it gives me the same error. Also about that visual glitch, it is ShareX, this time I used Bandicam I tried learning FFMPEG seems like it might take sometime for me to figure how to use it 😅 but it's so cool I will definitely give it a try. |
Thanks for the information. I will have a closer look to the video but I think I will have to provide you with a version with more debug traces. I understand that killing the key displayer had no impact (if so can you confirm you did unload it from memory). About ffmpeg, a default command line is already configured. You just need to install it and ensure it is in the path so that ppink can run it. You then just have to enable the button in the toolbar in the video tab |
|
Yep, actually I uninstalled the key displayer. I only installed it so you could see when I was using the Global Hotkeys, and so when it wasn't needed, I just uninstalled it. Also, about the alt+tab option thing, it still has that problem. However, I did notice that when the toolbar is expanded, and I switch from paint tool to cursor using Global Hotkeys and then click on my screen, it does not change to paint tool. Omggg I did not even notice the Video tab in the options. 😂 😅 It workkss damnn I got a video icon next to the cross. |

|
wait nah fam I am just dumb I forgot to select FFMPEG in the video tab option |
|
Wait so like for FFMPEG thing right the moment I select the area nothing happens is something supposed to happen? |
|
when ffmpeg is running you should get a frame : can you confirm you've got it? |
|
yep when i use alt + r i get a frame |
|
about your issue with the ffmpeg, check you security setup : maybe ffmpeg does not have rights to write in gink data folder Else here you are a test version with extra traces. |
|
with the file |
This is the output i got This is the Global Hotkey bug debug output. |
|
starting to have some clues... |
That's good to hear. This is the output I got for the ffmpeg thingy. |
|
This version may fix the problem: about ffmpeg try the command line manually: |
Oh hmm the cursor bug is still there and when I run the ffmpeg command it gives me this output |
|
about ffmpeg, you seem to have an issue with the filename/directory: about your actual issue, a new attempt: |
OMGGGGGGGGGG IT WORKSSS THANK YOU SO MUCHHH 🙏 🫂 AYOOO EVEN THE FFMPEG THINGY WORKS LESGOOOO CAPT_300722_110717_4.mp4It works perfectly. Thank you so muchh you are amazing🙏 |
|
👌 I cleaned up the code; can you confirm it is fixed in this version ? |
|
Yep works perfectly. Even the FFmpeg works beautifully. Thank you so much 🙏 . CAPT_300722_140751_1.mp4So basically, I activated the toolbar using Global hotkeys. Then I switched to the eraser tool using the “E” hotkey and toggled back to the cursor using Global Hotkeys. Then I switched to the paint tool, but the eraser icon was there instead. |
|
This should fix your issue: |
|
Perfect thank you so much 🙏 🫂 |
The Global Hotkey is supposed to toggle ppInk from paint to cursor. But whenever I am in cursor mode and click on the screen it seems to switch back to paint automatically. Even when I click on the cursor button/icon in the ppInk toolbar and then click on the screen it switches automatically.

Another thing I noticed is that when recording (using Sharex) it looks really weird. I had clicked on the ppInk tool bar multiple times but in the recording it seems like I was clicking on nothing (I wasn't using shortcuts other than the global hotkeys). I am not sure if its a ShareX issue or ppInk. Even the spotlight feature (when you hold the alt button) looks weird in the recording. But for me it works perfectly fine (only issue is the cursor and global hotkey thing)
Thank you so much 🙏 I really love the features this tool provides its really amazing.
