Anyone else having problems with these? I used to use a few of them for my shieldstone/armor and I noticed today that they weren't working anymore... I don't use any of these very much so not sure if it's new to v1k or maybe a storm or two before (Or if they work for other people then it's probably something on my machine, but I've never had problems before).

If the alt-key works like option on the mac (which it is usually mapped to), the character sent is the alternate character along with the option key. So to use "option-s" as a trigger, you’d really write the trigger option–ß (for non-mac users, option-s= ß). This is bit bizarre, but unless they change it, perhaps the windows version was either brought into feature parity OR a windows or client patch changed how windows interprets the keystroke.

Having not run a Windows machine to clan on for years, and not seeing what happens in a text editor when you hit option-(key), I can’t narrow it down beyond that.

FYI: macro problems get faster attention in the Macro subforum.

(If any mod wants to move this, perhaps a Windows clanner will see it & already have a solution?)
