Thanks. That led me to the right answer:

To prevent a hotkey from interpreting itself, prefix the hotkey with $, as shown below:
$^s:: ; Control-s

Explained on the http://www.autohotkey.com/d ...

I've defined Control-s (^s) as a hotkey in AutoHotkey.

However, sometimes I want to send Control-s to a program. In that case, I don't want to have it intercepted and interpreted by AutoHotkey.

Laszlo, When I first read your comment, I completely understood 3 lines out of the four you wrote. I didn't understand this:
::exitahk::
I didn't see any way to find that in the Help, because Window ...

Is it possbile to exit AutoHotkey from the command line?

I've searched the help and not found a method of doing that.

Well, I didn't just post the config files or anything, it is a complete SciTE package.
I'm very enthusiastic about SciTE. It seems like the editor we need. I like that it doesn't use the Windows reg ...

About your code, I see some lines ending with a 's', like style.ahk1.1 or style.ahk1.17, it might be a typo.
Thanks, PhiLho. It was more than a typo, it was a gremlin. *grin* I was trying to work too ...

Yeah I saw that. I know SciTE has a lot of cool features, that's why I use it and posted the config I use. Mine is set up for portability, something not addressed in other threads.
Could you provide ...

Try RanorexSpy.exe. Note that, since all Mozilla products use a non-standard way of windowing, Ranorex cannot get the IDs of controls, and so cannot be used with Mozilla products and others like them.

Note that SciTE for AutoHotkey is available. SciTE has an excellent feature: Code folding, which collapses items between braces until you need to see them.

SciTE is the same editor supplied with Au ...

lexikos,

I am not familiar enough with SciTE editor to know whether that works.

In fact, I am not familiar enough with that editor to know with certainty that the method I posted works. However ...

SciTE's code folding makes code easier to read. The present version does not syntax highlight .INI files such as AutoHotkey.ini, only .AHK files.

The alternative syntax highlighting file below uses ...

Thanks very much.

I read the code, but didn't see the $, because I looked only in the lower portion of the code, assuming a normal hotkey was being defined.

Could you direct me to the place in t ...

I would like Control-B to send Control-B, as in:

^B::Send ^B

Try it, it doesn't work, because it sends the ^B back to AutoHotkey, which sends another ^B, which goes back to AutoHotkey, and so on ...

Thanks for your replies. I found by testing that a hotkey such as ^B cannot send ^B because that results in an infinite loop. I know there is a way to tell AutoHotKey not to interpet the sent ^B as a ...

I searched the help for an hour and was not able to discover how to send a Hotkey without redefining it. For example, suppose in a program you sometimes want a Control-B Hotkey to send Control-B.
