How do I make 'c' send 'a'?

Include "$" before the hotkey.
It forces the hook in the hotkey.

Code: Select all

$a::
Send, b
return

$c::
Send, a
return

Thank you. What if I want to use this?

Code: Select all

capslock & a::

It doesn't let me.

You can try this.

Code: Select all

$a::
while GetKeyState("CapsLock", "P")
	{
	Send, b
	KeyWait, a
	return
	}
return

$c::
Send, a
return

Interesting, but what exactly do you mean by "It forces the hook in the hotkey."?
I understand the words, but I don't get the meaning...

From Ahk Docs

$
This is usually only necessary if the script uses the Send command to send the keys that comprise the hotkey itself, which might otherwise cause it to trigger itself. The $ prefix forces the keyboard hook to be used to implement this hotkey, which as a side-effect prevents the Send command from triggering it. The $ prefix is equivalent to having specified #UseHook somewhere above the definition of this hotkey.

Ah, now it seems to be clear.
Well, in other words, the $ breaks the chain.
If you specify that a = b, and c = a, the chain, when pressing c, would be c -> a -> b
The $ prevents this.

Thanks!
