Hello!

How to click 'SHIFT+:' when I click ';' in both AHK 1 and 2?

I am struggling to find how to put ';' in front of a statement like:
;::^;

The key list does not include it!

Thanks!

Hallo,
try:

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v1.1.33
`;::Send, +{:}

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0
`;::Send "+{:}"

Ah thanks!, missed the escape key
Btw, not sure why v2 needs the quotes, it should be a simplification of v1

It is. It uses expressions throughout instead of the mix of command syntax and expressions that has been the source of much confusion and frustration in v1.

In v2, you can use ' instead of " which can save you some keystrokes.
