Is it possible to pass through keystrokes as they are received? I have the following excerpted script
Up::
Down::
Right::
<commands, …>
Send,%a_thishotkey%

What happens here is that the actual literal for the key that was pressed is sent to the window. For Example, pressing <Up> would result in the literal “Up” being sent.

Is it possible to send the keystroke pressed and not the keystrokes literal?
Pressing the <Up> key should move the cursor up. Likewise when the <Down> key is pressed the cursor should be moved down.

Thank you.

This possibly?

Thanks.

The first method works.
The second gives an error message about an illegal expression when loading the script.
