Q-Dir Up to parent folder failed by 'h' key

[GoldyWang2013]

'h' key failed:
and the ahk code is:
; 1 character
if(Key == "h"){
if WinActive("ahk_group VimQdir"){
SendInput("{BackSpace down}{BackSpace up}")
; SendInput("{BackSpace}")
}
else {
SendInput("{Left}")
}
}else if(Key == "l"){
if WinActive("ahk_group VimQdir"){
SendInput("{Enter}")
}
else {
SendInput("{Right}")
}

Does it not work every time?
I tested it with vim_ahk v0.14.2 and Q-Dir 12.27,
and it seems to be working.
It might fail occasinally if you press h too rapidly.
Also, could you please confirm whether you're in Normal mode?

[rcmdnk]

By the way, alt-u/i/j/k does not work in my environment.
It works if I use the script which has only these key mapping directly,
but it seems something conflicting in vim_ahk.

[GoldyWang2013]

My environment:
Q-Dir 11.14
vim_vhk clone from Git Master( leatest i think)

explorer.exe work fine
Q-Dir 'h' not work. (rarely occassion worked)

then i try:
; 1 character
if(Key == "h"){
if WinActive("ahk_group VimQdir"){
; SendInput("{BackSpace down}{BackSpace up}")
SendInput("!{Up}")
}
else {
SendInput("{Left}")
}
still exploer.exe work FINE, but Q-Dir NOT.

and why your:
SendInput("{BackSpace down}{BackSpace up}") ?
not:
SendInput("{BackSpace}") ?
is it Q-Dir special?

[rcmdnk]

When h doesn't work, could you please check if the original Backspace key is functioning correctly?
It seems that sometimes Q-Dir doesn't respond to the Backspace event — maybe it's too fast, or the focus has shifted?

and why your:
SendInput("{BackSpace down}{BackSpace up}") ?
not:
SendInput("{BackSpace}") ?
is it Q-Dir special?

Honestly, the code came from a pull request, and I merged it since it worked as expected — though I'm not sure if I tested it with Alt+U/I/J/K...
I don’t usually use Q-Dir myself, and I haven’t checked it recently.

I think there is no reason to use donw/up separately and SendInput("{BackSpace}") works for me.

So, I updated vim_ahk in master branch with single SendInput("{BackSpace}").
There are also minor updates for modifiers.

As far as I checked, these changes do not change the behavior.

But you can try new master branch code and it may resolve some conflicts.

yes When 'h' doesn't work, the original {Backspace} key function correctly in Q-Dir

[rcmdnk]

Is the mode normal mode?
Does such l work as Enter correctly?

[GoldyWang2013]

'l' as {Enter} --- CORRECT.
'j' 'k' --- CORRECT.
!u/!i/!j/!k --- NOT

[GoldyWang2013]

About two same conditional #Hotif below, which one activated or merge the two conditions logic as one internal?

File-1: vim_normal.ahk
....
#HotIf Vim.IsVimGroup() and WinActive("ahk_group VimQdir") and (Vim.State.Mode == "Vim_Normal")
; For Q-dir, ^X mapping does not work, use !X instead.
; ^X does not work to be sent, too, use Down/Up
; switch to left top (1), right top (2), left bottom (3), right bottom (4)
!u::SendInput("{LControl Down}{1 Down}{1 Up}{LControl Up}")
!i::SendInput("{LControl Down}{2 Down}{2 Up}{LControl Up}")
!j::SendInput("{LControl Down}{3 Down}{3 Up}{LControl Up}")
!k::SendInput("{LControl Down}{4 Down}{4 Up}{LControl Up}")
; Ctrl+q, menu Quick-links
'::SendInput("{LControl Down}{q Down}{q Up}{LControl Up}")
; Keep the e key in Normal mode, use the right button and then press the refresh (e) function, do nothing, return to the e key directly
~e::
{}
#HotIf

File2: vim_enter_insert.ahk
....
#HotIf Vim.IsVimGroup() and WinActive("ahk_group VimQdir") and (Vim.State.Mode == "Vim_Normal")
; Enter insert mode to quickly locate the file/folder by using the first letter
/::Vim.State.SetMode("Insert")
; Enter insert mode at rename
~F2::Vim.State.SetMode("Insert")
#HotIf

[rcmdnk]

They are separated because all mappings for entering insert mode are defined in vim_enter_insert.ahk.

Mappings for normal mode, defined under the condition
Vim.IsVimGroup() and (Vim.State.IsCurrentVimMode("Vim_Normal")),
are placed in multiple files, each dedicated to a specific purpose.

About !u/!i/!j/!k,
I updated script w/o SendInput and use direct mapping (current master version),
then it works in my environment.
