I'm trying to have script #2 execute a hotkey found in script #1.

I tried having #2 "SendInput" the hotkey (!>b) but it didn't work.

Can someone tell me how to do this? Thanks1

The following two scripts give an example of something that works.

Code:
; script #1
#h::

msgbox,,, Ok... Who pressed Win-x ? ,2

Code:
; script #2
sleep, 3000

sendinput #h


I tried to place the hotkey you wrote of "(!>b)" in a script, but also could not get it to work. I did find that manually entering !b instead of !>b would trigger the script with your listed hotkey.

I don't see how the > is being left out, but perhaps you could simplify your hotkey requirement? It seems that actually entering that hotkey would be virtually impossible.

If you have to have that combination, I suggest looking at this link for more information. http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/Hotkeys.htm#Features
