what im doing wrong ??

HotKeySet("t", "presst")

Func presst()

Send("{t down}") ;Holds the t key down

Send("{t up}") ;Releases the t key

EndFunc ;==>Presst

for For $i = 1 to 100 Step

Next

HotKeySet("t", "presst")

Func presst()
  For $i = 1 to 100
   Send("t")
  Next
EndFunc

[Herb191]

HotKeySet("x", "presst") ;this can not be "t" or it will start the presst func over when Send("t") is ran
HotKeySet('{ESC}', '_EXIT')

Main()

Func Main()
    While 1
        Sleep(100)
    WEnd
EndFunc   ;==>Main


Func presst()

    For $i = 100 To 1 Step -1
        Send("{t down}") ;Holds the t key down
        Send("{t up}") ;Releases the t key
    Next

    Main()
EndFunc   ;==>presst


Func _EXIT()
    $iMsgBoxAnswer = MsgBox(0, "", "Goodbye")
    Exit
EndFunc   ;==>_EXIT

Actaully I read this a while ago and just now came back to correct you on the code. You were close but the proper way to do it is.

HotKeySet("t", "presst")

Func presst()
  HotKeySet("t")
  For $i = 1 to 100
   Send("t")
  Next
  HotKeySet("t", "presst")
EndFunc

As a general rule it's a good idea to unset a hotkey when you enter a function and reset it when you are leaving the function. That may not always apply but it's generally good practice.
