I was out of town so had to use my husband's HP Envy Notebook with 8.1 and it is a Touchscreen too. I downloaded AutoHotkeys to it and my text file for it. But never could get it to work right. We use the regular old Desktop style. When I hit the Windows key and then the 4 key it would open the Metro Tile start screen layout and type my #4 text into a screen search box. I never could get the key presses just right. Maybe once or twice it would work right. I have a Desktop HP Envy with 8.1 and don't have any trouble. I think it's the touchscreen messing it up even though I don't use the touch screen. Do you?
