Hello, I'm using AutoHotkey to allow PuTTy Telnet have hotkeys. However I am noticing that when I map the F# keys something, that they interfere with the regular windows function keys. I attempted to get around it by doing something like this:

Code:

F3::
IfWinActive, PuTTy
{
   winActivate, PuTTy
   Send, {some commands}
   return
}
else
   Send, {F3}
return


However that just causes AutoHotKey to go into a loop of pressing {F3} if my PuTTy program isnt active. If I remove "Send, {F3}" then it causes the F3 function key to be disabled.

How can I get around this? (i know its probably something stupidly simple Confused )

Thanks,
Joe

To have a hotkey that "sends itself", include a $ in front of the definition:

$F3::

Note that this is not supported on Windows 9x.
