How to SendInput without triggering hotkeys Topic is solved

[madsounds]

When I use the following code, the script goes into recursion.

Code: Select all

^r::

	if( ! WinActive( "ahk_exe WINWORD.EXE" ) )
	{
		SendInput, ^r
		return
	}
	
	Run, ...

	return

How can I pass key presses invisibly to AutoHotkey, i.e. without false triggering? I tried to set different SendLevel values, but it did not affect.

I just solved it by adding the #InputLevel 1 directive!

Code: Select all

#InputLevel 1

^r::

	if( ! WinActive( "ahk_exe WINWORD.EXE" ) )
	{
		SendInput, ^r
		return
	}
	
	Run, ...

	return

Usually, the $ modifier should suffice:

$
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. [...]

Thank you, $ is another option!
