I'm trying to create my first, and what I thought, a simple script to input the following key combos from the base, magrittr and dplyr packages.

 

the assignment operators

<-   or   ->

and the piping operators

%>%  or  %>%

but near as I can tell, I can't get autokey to send any form of  <  or  >  as I think they are hotkeys. I can't seem to escape the keys either. I've spent hours so far. Please help.  Here is my script.  ~ thanks, david

 

 

#SingleInstance force    

#InstallKeybdHook

^!p::Pause  ; Press Ctrl+Alt+P to pause. Press it again to resume.

^Numpad4::

Send {<-}

return

^Numpad1::

Send {%<%}

return

^Numpad3::

Send {%>%}

return

^Numpad6::

Send {->}

return

you need to remove the { } around your keys unless its only one key like {k} or {enter} but not when needing more keys aka this will not work {12} as there are no 12 key only 0-9... also when sending symbols like % you need to esc them like this `% or use sendraw

^Numpad4::
SendRaw <-
return

^Numpad1::
SendRaw %<%
return

^Numpad3::
SendRaw %>%
return

^Numpad6::
SendRaw ->
return

Thanks. I tried running the script, but it generates an error on line 11.

SendRaw %<%

 

Man, If I can get the hang of this, it will save me all kinds of time. In R and elsewhere as I have no hands and type with a prosthesis.

ok, bad ass. a little tweak...  I had to send each individually when sending %  and to escape it..  '%  even though I used SendRaw

Thanks a lot man!

OK,  so I only need this enabled when running for a couple of programs. Can it automatically detect that?

 

Thanks again!

#IfWinActive, ahk_class Notepad
^Numpad6::
send `%
return

that hotkey will only work with notepad as the active window

#ifwinactive will be one way to do what you need

Awesome. Thank again.
