Hello All,
New to AHK. I've tried 'everything, but the simple snippet does not work.
That is, Notepad is launched, but 'Something' is not written in Notepad:

Code:

p::Run notepd.exe
Send Something
exit

However, when I do:

Code:

p::Run notepd.exe
q::
Send Something
exit

It works fine.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for any help.
Krid

Correct would be:

Code:

p::
Run notepd.exe
Send Something
exit

Code:

p::Run Notepad.exe ;one line hotkey
c:: ;subroutine hotkey
Run calc.exe
Return

You get a better result with proper spelling, and there might be the need for a delay:

Code:

p::
Run notepad.exe
sleep, 2000
Send Something
exit
