trenton: I have already looked for it in the "List of Keys, Mouse Buttons, and Joystick Controls" section of the help file and couldn't locate it.

And doesn't # stand for windows key?

I am asking about the AutoHotKey symbol for the actual pound key on the keyboard.

Edit: Got confused, what I am looking for is {#}. http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/Send.htm

But lets not duck the issue here - what's the hash key represented as? I desperately need to assign my hash key as a hotkey (there's no workaround) but no matter how I try, it ends up firing off as the windows key.

Many thanks

That's for send.

For the hash hotkey use +3:: or its scancode

cheers, but unlike sri, I actually need to assign the hash key itself as a hotkey, not the win keys.

Many thanks

I've got a UK keyboard layout: +3 would be a £ sign. My hash key appears next to the enter key on the 4th row down on my keyboard (with the function keys F1-12 being the first row). It shares a key with the tilde symbol (activated through shift).

As infogulch also recommended, you should probably use the key's scan code. This page explains how to do so.

I did this using a hotstring instead of a hotkey:

:*:#::my_action_here

Why not just use this?

Code:
#::Send You pressed Hash.

Even though # has special meanings in some cases this seems to work just fine.

You can even do this:
Code:
##::Send You pressed WinKey+Hash.

AutoHotkey is pretty smart. :)
