<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

bind key programs can use

_ispressed() ... or _ifispressed()

this is a special function you will have to search the archices for

IF I RUN IN TO IT I WILL POST IT HERE LATER

good luck 8)

;notice when button pressed

HotKeySet("{NUMPAD1}", "testenter")

When testing your scripts, you might want to send the info to a specific window... one that is simple and ready to accept what you send to it.

Start the code above

Start Notepad

Press numpad1

This might be what is happening to you with your original code:

Your script sends "Enter" to some application to get it ready to accept text

The application is getting ready......

Your script sends "testing" ... but your application is not ready to accept it yet

Your script sends "Enter" ... but your application is not ready to accept it yet

Your application is now ready to accept the text... bummer.

You might have to add a sleep statement between those two lines of code or find another way to know that the application is ready to take the text. Either way, you might want to call the window into focus before sending keys to it.
