I've been trying since Thursday to make the percent (%) sign output to the active text box on my computer with the input of the alt and control keys. I can't get it to work so I thought I'd post and see if I could get some help.

Here is the script I have so far - "! & ^::Send {%}"

I'd like to have this run whenever I am using Windows so if I press the key combo it will insert the % sign.

Thank You for any help.

change: Send {%}
to: Send `%
Then go back and read the Send help file page. (%} is not a valid key (it is not listed). Then look in the help file at the topic #EscapeChar where `% is listed.

You have to escape the % sign. Try this:

Code:
 ! & ^::Send `%



Or if you ment to have the brackets:
Code:
! & ^::Sendraw {`%}
