I am trying to make a simple key -> click -> wait -> key -> wait looping command. But with about 3 hours of trying to figure out where I am going wrong, I still can't make sense of it. I keep getting unterminated string error. If you could direct me to the mistake I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for your time and consideration.

#region ---Au3Recorder generated code Start ---
Opt("WinWaitDelay",100)
Opt("WinDetectHiddenText",1)
Opt("MouseCoordMode",0)

_WinWaitActivate("untiltled)","")
myloop:
MouseClick("left",401,321,1)
Send("{F5}")
MouseClick("left",401,321,1)
Sleep, (3000)
Send("{INS}")
Sleep, (3000)
Goto, myloop")

#region --- Internal functions Au3Recorder Start ---
Func _WinWaitActivate($title,$text,$timeout=0)
    WinWait($title,$text,$timeout)
    If Not WinActive($title,$text) Then WinActivate($title,$text)
    WinWaitActive($title,$text,$timeout)
EndFunc
#endregion --- Internal functions Au3Recorder End ---

#endregion --- Au3Recorder generated code End ---

that is not how you loop in autoit.

Try a While loop or something

Replace myloop:

with While True

or While 1 if you prefer

then

replace Goto, myloop")

with WEnd

Edit:

Also no , after Sleep just Sleep(3000)

Thank you... I had gotten the loop command from a "Autoit_quickref.pdf" (it may be out of date I suppose) and I did what you recommended but I am still getting the unterminated string error on the final line (14)

EDIT: same after fixing the sleep command.

ReEDIT: :FACEPALM: i fixed it thank you (shouldn't have been editing in AU3Record...)
