Lord Zion Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Hello guys, I just want to do a simple thing (simple for you not for me hehe) i will explain: I just want to make a script that keeps running on the backgroung (maybe with icontray if possible) and everytime i press ctrl+space it types 4 3 2 1 Ive been trying to do this opening a notepad and writing the numbers there, but it only opens the notepad.exe and nothing happens when i press ctrl+space. I could do it without the hotkey thing, it opens and types correctly, but i cant get it to work with it. So far thats my noob script: Run("notepad.exe") WinWaitActive("Untitled - Notepad") HotKeySet("{LCTRL}+{SPACE}", "keys") Func keys() Send("4") Sleep(500) Send("3") Sleep(500) Send("2") Sleep(500) Send("1") EndFunc I hope you guys can help me. Thx a lot ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpookMeister Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Your main problem was that your script had ended long before you were pressing the CTRL-SPACE. The while loop keeps your script alive so it can sense the hotkey being pressed.
