Send Variable as an input

[SSQUAD]

i want to send an input {Tab} in this case a lot of times and multiple times but when I set a variable as {Tab} it just sends "{Tab}" instead of the input of the tab key.

Code: Select all

tab49 = {Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}
tab10 = {Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}
F11::
SendRaw %tab10%

Nevermind I figured it out lol

Glad you figured it out.

The 'simplest' way, without the need to create any variables, is:

Code: Select all

F11::Send, {Tab 10}

and/or (depending what hotkey(s) you want to define)

Code: Select all

F12::Send, {Tab 49}

So I guess that's how you did it.

If, instead, you really wanted to do it with a variable, this should work:

Code: Select all

varTab10 := "{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}"
F11::Send, % varTab10

... or even:

Code: Select all

varTab10 := "{Tab 10}"
F11::Send, % varTab10

Another solution

Code: Select all

keyToSend:="Tab"
timesToSend:=49
return
f11::
	SendInput, % "{" keyToSend " " timesToSend "}"
return
