::test:: send multiline text will send "test" instead of the first item *when run in the script*

[partof]

It seems there is a bug with the ::test::

Just try this but inside the script (where this code is written). (I'm using the VScode editor)

Code: Select all

::test:: 
send,
(
line1
line2
line3
)

return

It sends:

Code: Select all

testline2
line3

I have moved this topic to Ask for Help until a bug can be verified. I have tested your hotstring in a few different programs and it works fine, so it appears to me like this is a problem with how the end program receives the data and not how AHK sends it. We'll revisit whether this should in Bug Reports once we get more information.

try different examples with send / controlsend ...

Code: Select all

; start script , open notepad , write > test   and use enter
;- case-1
::test:: 
e1=
(Ltrim join`r`n
Line1 aa
Line2 bb
Line3 cc

)
clipboard=%e1%
clipwait,5
Send,^v
clipboard=
return
esc::exitapp

;- case-2
/*
::test:: 
e1=
(Ltrim join`r`n
Line1 aa
Line2 bb
Line3 cc

)
Send, {Text}%e1%
return
esc::exitapp
*/
