Send("!{F1}") is only pressing F1

[Shanlar]

Need it to do Alt+F1 but that doesnt seem to be happening. Only presses F1. I have also tried the following with no luck. Any insight if this problem would be helpful.

Send("{ALTDOWN}")
Send("{F1}")
Send("{ALTUP}")

your going to have to do one send comand look at the help section under send or just give me a minute

[Thatsgreat2345]

isnt it jsut

send("{!f1}")

'!'

This tells AutoIt to send an ALT keystroke, therefore Send("This is text!a") would send the keys "This is text" and then press "ALT+a".

Yeah, as I probably should have restated from the topic, I tried Send("!{F1}) which should be ALT+F1, but it is only pressing F1.

put the ! next to the f1

put the ! next to the f1

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Send("{!F1}") is viewed as ! F1

{!} = !

While without {} ! = ALT

[Thatsgreat2345]

just take out the brackets i looked on another thread and thats how he represneted it as

send("!f1")

[Thatsgreat2345]

man the help section isnt helping this situation man im so bad at autoit

[Shanlar]

Negative on the Send("!F1")

[Thatsgreat2345]

i dont know why send("!{f1}") isnt working that should but maybe liek the help says its picky in ur title its upper case maybe it has to be lower case who knows except for alot of people on this forum

[Thatsgreat2345]

the keys turn orange in scite if its good or not so thats the only thing way it turns orange :-/

[Thatsgreat2345]

haha maybe send("{alt}""{f1}") just throwing out random combos as i dance around the room to some music cuz im so bored

Try

Send("!{F1}")

I tried it using F4 and it did as I was expecting
