AutoHotkey Community

Consider this example:When $Space is not defined as a hotkey, the ::nciht:: hotstring fires on Space, when $Space is defined, the hotstring fires only on the other ending characters like Enter, or Tab.

This is by design. Hotstrings cannot be fired by simulated keystrokes from an AutoHotkey script because that would create a danger of an infinite loop of keystrokes (which might completely lock up a system).

I understand that in this case there is no danger of that. So perhaps there should be some way for the Send command to flag its events as eligible for hotstrings.

Oh, I see. This is completely understandable, security is important. Is this in the help somewhere? I couldnt find it, sorry if i overlooked it.
So the only way at the moment is to change my hotkey, or ask the author of the application i want to modify the keys in, to make it able to change shortcut keys
Is there a chance to implement it in the near future? I dont think it has a high priority on your todo list

Yes, it's buried in the remarks of the hotstrings page:

I'll give it some thought, but because the solution will probably involve adding a new command or directive, it probably won't happen right away. This is because new commands are always given careful scrutiny before adding them to reduce the chance that they will rapidly become obsolete in light of other features, or otherwise seem like a bad idea in hindsight.

Thanks for your suggestion. When it gets done, I think it will be helpful to others too.
