Hi,

I found something, that I think to be a bug.

Try to load this script

Code:

$Space&1::
   Send, {SPACE}1
return

<<or this if you will>>

$Space & 1::
   Send, {SPACE}1
return

The problem is, that you can't use the $-Modifier in this Hotkey-combination.

I assume this problem will occur with other named Hotkeys as well (haven't tried

)

Regards,
Mike

The $ prefix is not supported (or needed) in ampersand hotkeys. Such hotkeys are already hook hotkeys and can "send themselves" without a problem.

... well in that case i would like to suggest to include this very remark in the Autohotkey Help, preferably somewhere near the section

Quote:

You can define a custom combination of two keys by using " & " between them. In the below example, you would hold down Numpad0 then press the second key to trigger the hotkey:

Numpad0 & Numpad1::Run Notepad
Numpad0 & Numpad2::Run Calc

But anyway, thanks for clearing things up.

Lots of thanks,
Michael
