rancidman Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 (edited) Hi all, new here. I want it so that a hotkey "a" triggers some string "hi". The below script isn't working. This is both with and without #requireadminI'm using windows 7.#requireadmin #include <misc.au3> Func aPress() Send("hi") EndFunc While 1 Sleep(50) If _IsPressed("41") Then aPress() Sleep(200) EndIf WEnd Func _DoNothing() EndFunc Now, if I replace Send("hi") with Run("notepad.exe"), this will open notepad as expected (when I press "a"). I've also tried the hotkeyset function but this wasn't working either. Any help appreciated. Edited July 20, 2015 by Melba23 Added tags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rancidman Posted July 20, 2015 Author Share Posted July 20, 2015 Thanks for the reply and tip, I'll use the code tags from now on. I just want this to work on the currently active window I have selected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rancidman Posted July 20, 2015 Author Share Posted July 20, 2015 Ohh my, now I feel stupid. I had a game open in the background, and once I closed that it's working now. Seems it was still considered an active window even if I clicked something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
