Hi,

I need to be able to send
/** @type {JSFoundset<db:/dbname/tablename>} **/

/** @type **/

The default escape character in Autohotkey is a backtic:

Code: Select all

`
So sending the following should work:

Code: Select all

`{JSFoundset<db:/dbname/tablename>`}
I don't think you need to escape angle brackets or forward slashes, but not on a PC right now so can't test.

Also:

Code: Select all

Send {Text}/** @type {JSFoundset<db:/dbname/tablename>} **/

Another way to escape braces,

Code: Select all

Send, /** @type {{}JSFoundset<db:/dbname/tablename>{}} **/
