AutoHotkey Community

I want to automate pressing of

a combination of numblock keys (with numlock off):

send, {numpadins down numpadclear numpadins up}

(zero acts as a "shift" - press it and hold, and then another key - here 5)




to trigger a function performed by a similar but simpler program Bomes Midi translator. The key combination makes it do a useful function. Unfortunately, its code is compiled, so I cannot modify it directly, that's why I hope in ahk.


but it does not work as expected, is there anything wrong with the send command?

yes... it should be:

in any word processor it apparently does work.

but Bomes midi translator patch is a hotkey app itself. maybe that's why it does not accept other hotkeys?

I have tried to lower its priority - don't know if it makes sense at all, but does not work here.

Any way to make ahk feed another hotkey application?

Ah, you might need a small delay in between...


sendinput {numpadins down}
sleep 40
sendinput {numpadclear}
sleep 40
sendinput {numpadins up}
sleep 40

I meant slowing down the other one

But I realize this other one could be akh script compiled.

Any way to make one script trigger hotkeys in another one, both being active simultaneously?
