While the premise seems interesting, this group is solely focused on Python and resolving issues of the technical kind. Wrong group to be asking this question

No we can't explain ML in a group like that you need to get some learning material and follow it. And we can't tell you how to do it because we don't know what you want to do.

the reason your current code is fked is that SendMessage with EM_REPLACESEL bruh thats old school code..
​modern apps like VS Code dont actually use the standard windows text boxes.. They draw their own interfaces from scratch using web tech or custom engines.. so they don't even know what an em_replacesel message is 🫠

No group could explain to him everything if he has done no research

Python

Probably ask some cinephile, they calculate xd

Will be hard if you don't know nothing and do no research

I think that to be able to do it with chromium-based software, you'd need the help of an extension, but that's outside the scope of this group. You may ask in the off-topic group

Hi,
I'm building a Python project to insert text into the currently focused Windows application at the caret position (triggered by a hotkey).
I'm using user32.SendMessageW with EM_REPLACESEL, but it only works with native apps like Notepad or Explorer, and fails with browsers, VS Code, and other modern apps.
Here is my current code:

import ctypes
from ctypes import wintypes

user32 = ctypes.WinDLL("user32", use_last_error=True)
kernel32 = ctypes.WinDLL("kernel32", use_last_error=True)

EM_REPLACESEL = 0x00C2

user32.GetForegroundWindow.restype = wintypes.HWND
user32.GetFocus.restype = wintypes.HWND
user32.AttachThreadInput.argtypes = [
    wintypes.DWORD,
    wintypes.DWORD,
    wintypes.BOOL,
]
user32.GetWindowThreadProcessId.argtypes = [
    wintypes.HWND,
    ctypes.POINTER(wintypes.DWORD),
]
user32.GetWindowThreadProcessId.restype = wintypes.DWORD
kernel32.GetCurrentThreadId.restype = wintypes.DWORD
user32.SendMessageW.argtypes = [
    wintypes.HWND,
    wintypes.UINT,
    wintypes.WPARAM,
    wintypes.LPCWSTR,
]
user32.SendMessageW.restype = ctypes.c_ssize_t


def get_focused_hwnd():
    foreground = user32.GetForegroundWindow()

    current_thread = kernel32.GetCurrentThreadId()
    foreground_thread = user32.GetWindowThreadProcessId(foreground, None)

    user32.AttachThreadInput(current_thread, foreground_thread, True)
    try:
        focused = user32.GetFocus()
    finally:
        user32.AttachThreadInput(current_thread, foreground_thread, False)

    return focused


def insert_text(text: str):
    hwnd = get_focused_hwnd()

    if not hwnd:
        raise RuntimeError("No focused control found")

    user32.SendMessageW(hwnd, EM_REPLACESEL, True, text)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    insert_text("Hello, world!")

Yes I know, however the problems we can still use \\to print single \ right?

Python

28 April 2026 16:42

The \ character is special
