#include <GuiConstants.au3>
$Gui = GUICreate("Gui")
$menu = GUICtrlCreateMenu("&menu")
$Menu_Item = GUICtrlCreateMenuitem("item",$menu)
GUISetState()
HotKeySet("{ENTER}","_myfunction")
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        case $msg = -3
            Exit
        
    EndSelect
WEnd
Func _myfunction()
    send("{ALT}"&"m")
EndFunc

Take note of the "&" before the "m" in the word menu.

Tnanks! But I would change your

Func _myfunction()
    send("{ALT}"&"m")
EndFunc

to

Func _myfunction()
    WinActivate($Gui)
    send("{ALT}"&"m")
EndFunc
