Space to trigger hotstring/hotkey? Topic is solved

[Bernd]

I want to add an internal variable to Space whenever it is typed.

Code: Select all

:?c*:Space::
	{
	SendInput %A_Space%
	x = _
	}
return

and

Code: Select all

:?c*:Space::
	{
	SendInput {Space}
	x = _
	}
return

do not work.

Code: Select all

Space::
	{
	SendInput %A_Space%
	x = _
	}
return

Code: Select all

Space::
	{
	SendInput {Space}
	x = _
	}
return

work in principle, (i.e. I don't have to escape the _) but cause a runaway trigger.

Update: It works when you add $ (to inhibit the self-triggering):

Code: Select all

$Space::
	{
	SendInput {Space}
	x = _
	}
return
