I just started using autohotkey and have a question. What I want to do is assign a hotkey to move the mouse cursor from its current position to a postion a little bit to the left (a value of say 10). So I did the following
#n::mousegetpos, xpos, ypos
envset, xps, %xpos% - 10
mousemove, %xps% , %ypos%

am I even close to what this should be is this the right way to do math with a variable because the error I'm getting is that %xpos% - 10 doesn't resolve to a numeric value

any help would be appreciated

You can do it two ways:

envsub, xpos, 10
or
xpos -= 10

#n::
mousegetpos, xpos, ypos 
envsub, xpos, 10 
mousemove, %xpos% , %ypos%
return

thanks,
