Hi, I wonder why this script seems to ignore completely the command keywait:
Code:

f5::
Send, ^c
ClipWait, 1
values := Clipboard
Loop,Parse, values, `n,`r
{
   KeyWait, x
;   Send, {Right}
   Send, %A_Loopfield%
   
}
return

Am I missing the obvious? Confused

KeyWait waits for a key to be in its 'up' position. If you want to wait until that key is 'down', add the "D" option to the keywait command like
Code:
Keywait, x, D

Thanks, [VxE]!
I realized that keywait was not the right approach, even with your example, as it would send the key x and all the rest immediately:

This is working great for me --- Autohotkey is just awesome:
Code:
f5::
Send, ^c
ClipWait, 1
Loop,Parse, Clipboard, `n,`r
{
   Input, trigger, V, {RControl}

   Send, %A_Loopfield%
   
}
return

then I can use the arrow keys to insert the values wherever I want in a spreadsheet.
