AutoHotInterception VS lintalist

You can achieve that with Autohotkey and AutoHotInterception, which allows you to capture keypresses at a driver level from a specific input-device. I used that for turning a bluetooth numpad into a little macro pad.

I've had some good experiences with using Luamacros to intercept a second keyboard and forward the keypresses to autohotkey like this: https://miquelvir.medium.com/secondkeyboard-1c39e52e023b

Apparently there is also this: https://github.com/evilC/AutoHotInterception

AutoHotInterception might be a workaround for this. The docs cover how to do everything.

This may be what you're looking for: https://github.com/evilC/AutoHotInterception

I believe this is what you're looking for. Sorry, I haven't tried it yet.

I haven't used it yet, but I found AutoHotInterception which uses an "interception" driver to get you hotkeys with a lower level of keyboard interception - this will likely work for Dosbox, though it might be a bit excessive. I'll play around with it tomorrow and see how it works.

I would suggest using an alternative shortcut as CTRL+ALT+DEL is not something you generally want to mess with - but this library https://github.com/evilC/AutoHotInterception may help you achieve your goals, it is capable of blocking the input of ctrl+alt+del...

AHK can't differentiate between keyboards by itself. You need to use AutoHotInterception to find out which keyboard sent the data.

I used AutoHotInterception for making a cheap little bluetooth numpad into a macropad.

Cannot say if useful, but if you need to insert/copy paste text (and modifiers) there is a tool written in AHK that is very handy:

Not an answer, but in Lintalist this would the snippet

Perhaps https://lintalist.github.io/ will be of interest as well (also AutoHotkey)

Likely not, as it requires 1.1.31+[0], and this port supports up to 1.0.

Take a look at lintalist. It is an extremely well-done, extensive text expander which can do almost anything. As long as you don't need an absolutely specific, overly complex string to expand, LL is probably your easiest and most convenient bet.

Check out Lintalist... it's written in AutoHotKey and is a portable EXE. It might make writing and managing your macros a lot easier. https://lintalist.github.io/
