Hi gluwak,

You need to put a return after the hotkey, i.e.:

Code: Select all

o::
  send -{backspace}LLL
retun

l::
  send -{backspace}|)
return

Add ~ before the `::, like this:

Code: Select all

x::
send -{backspace}'-|
return
~'::
send -{backspace}€
return

If you add ~, the hotkey will no longer block ', so pressing ' will produce '€ instead of .

If you just want to prevent Send from triggering the hotkey, use the $ prefix.
