Trying to make a sentence finisher/completer

[Ignacio]

Hello, and good day
Im trying to make a sentence autocompleter so that when you type certain words (or commands) the scripts, and im in need of help/pointers

#include<Misc.au3>

Global $UnPaused
Global $vcounter = 0
Global $cString = "llo",  $vstringer0 = ""


HotKeySet("{f8}", "Terminate")


While 1
    Sleep(100)
    ToolTip("F8 to close",0,0)
    if _IsPressed(54) Then ;t key supposed to be the slash key but doesnt works for some reason
        $vcounter = 1
        $vstringer0 = "/"

        EndIf




    if $vcounter = 1 Then
        If  _IsPressed(48) then  ;h key
        $vcounter = 2
        $vstringer0 = $vstringer0 & "h"
EndIf

        EndIf
    if $vcounter = 2 Then
        if _IsPressed(45) then ; e key
            $vcounter = 3
            $vstringer0 = $vstringer0 & "e"
            EndIf

            EndIf
    If $vcounter = 3 Then
        Send($cString)
        Send("{enter}")
        $vcounter = 0
        EndIf




WEnd




Func Terminate()
    Exit 0
EndFunc

 

That is what i have at the time and the issues i have currently is that:
- I cant find an easy way to reset the counter to 0 in case a different letter from those are pressed ( tried NOT _ispressed but i think i got it wrong)

-Is there another way to detect the key press that _ispressed? (i couldnt find it so far), since i feel like it is too clunky ( although maybe that is just me and my way to code)

- for some reason the hex code (6F) for the / (divide nume pad) isnt working for me

 

Im thinking of making a text file with some words to use them as variables/comparations  (so that at least removes the need of a variable for the words in the script) and make the script make a temporal text file to save the input and then compare it with the other one. But i dont know if that is a good approach.

Thanks for your time and patience.

Amazing how a little wording can change all the results.
Found this thread (for reference)

I found out that that topic of capturing keyboard keypresses is not viewed very well here. Altough I did find older topics that show how to do just that.
