I was using an autohotkey script to insert Turkish characters on a windows 8.1 64bit pc. I cannot do this now in Firefox. I tried switching my keyboard language settings to Turkish. Same result. So the problem is not the script that I am using. Copy-paste works but somehow keyboard input does not. Is there a setting I should change or any other suggestions?
