Can't seem to send Function key in my script.

[ethanross1a]

Code: Select all

setTitleMatchMode,2

F1::
if(WinActive("ahk_exe SLDWORKS.exe"))
        Send {f1}
else
    SendInput ^+{tab}
return

F2::
if(WinActive("ahk_exe SLDWORKS.exe") or WinActive("ahk_exe explorer.exe"))
        Send {f2}
else
    SendInput ^{tab}
return

If I don't used the {}, it seems to send the literal F1 and F2 properly

Use the $ modifier - otherwise F1 (and F2) will trigger itself.

Code: Select all

$F1::
; [...]
$F2::
; [...]

Thanks so much! The code is now: for anyone else who stumbles on this.

Code: Select all

setTitleMatchMode,2

$F1::
if(WinActive("ahk_exe SLDWORKS.exe"))
        Sendinput {f1}
else
    SendInput ^+{tab}
return

$F2::
if(WinActive("ahk_exe SLDWORKS.exe") or WinActive("ahk_exe explorer.exe"))
        Sendinput {f2}
else
    SendInput ^{tab}
return
