How to use access a global variable from a hotkey Topic is solved

[theholyscripture]

Hi all, I'm trying to use a variable to designate the key to be sent but I'm not able to access the variable outside of the hotkey, where I would rather it be declared. Thank you.

Code: Select all

key := "Space" ; I WANT MY HOTKEY TO ACCESS THIS AND NOT HAVE TO DECLARE key IN HOTKEY

RAlt::
;key := "Space"
ControlFocus,,Mozilla Firefox
ControlSend,,{%key%},Mozilla Firefox ; works when ;key := "Space" is uncommented

return

Edit: I got it. I just had to declare my key variable above everything else in my script. There were other hotkeys/code above the code I chose to show for the question.
