is this a bug

[seres]

i got interested in a topic it says:

HotKeySet("b","b_pressed")

Func b_pressed()

Send("b")

EndFunc

and it doesnt sends anything, so is that a bug or if not then how after u press b it sends b

No it's not a bug.

It's kind of obvious what it does:

HotKeySet button B to a function that sends it, and it will cause a loop, over and over again.

To actually send the key that is hooked you'd have to 'unhook' it in the function.

Something like:

HotKeySet("b", "b_pressed")

While 1
Sleep(250)
WEnd

Func  b_pressed()
HotKeySet("b")
Send("b")
HotKeySet("b", "b_pressed")
EndFunc

Or you could do something more elegant, like this:

HotKeySet("b", "_SendHotKey")

While 1
    Sleep(250)
WEnd

Func _SendHotKey()
    Local $svKey = @HotKeyPressed
    HotKeySet($svKey)
    
    TrayTip("", $svKey & " was pressed", 5)
    
    Send($svKey)
    HotKeySet($svKey, "_SendHotKey")
EndFunc

That way, you only need one function for all of your keys(if you intend to use it with several that is).

Hi, use the ASCII value for the Send().

#include <misc.au3>

HotKeySet("b","b_pressed")

While (Not _IsPressed("1B"))
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func b_pressed()
    Send("{ASC 098}")
EndFunc

Cheers
