Spam 'f' key for a specific window

[segolore]

Hello! I'm new to AHK and I was hoping to ask for help on how to spam 'f' key every three seconds for a specific window/application. I'd like to start and end the script with f1. Thank you!

Welcome to this AutoHotkey forum!

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v1.1.33.11
winTitle := "ahk_exe Notepad.exe"
ctl      := "RichEditD2DPT1" ; Win 11

#If WinExist(winTitle)
F1::
If !on := !on {
 SetTimer Spam, Off
 SoundBeep 1000
 Return
}
SetTimer Spam, 3000
Spam:
If on
 ControlSend % ctl, f, % winTitle
Return
#If

If you are new to AHK, I recommend using its current version, which is v2, instead of this older deprecated version that is no longer developed.
