How to use send key

[hieveryone]

I've been searching for almost 24 hours and got nothing.


So what I want is when I press a key(let's say :a)
It will activate a script in the same file
Pretend this is the script: mousemove 50, 0 ,0 ,r;

So when I press a it should move my cursor
Similar to the if statement in js

I'm new so I don't really know, this is probably really simple

Code: Select all

a::MouseMove, 50, 0, 0, R

Rather than searching the internet for 24 hours, you could have read about the fundamentals of AHK from the manual in a fraction of the time and have learned the answer to your question and much more by now.

how would we do with multiple lines of code

That’s in this part of the manual, which is the exact link that mikeyww gave you.

@boiler
no it isnt ive checked the thing and it doesnt say how to do lines.

[boiler]

Yes it is. Check the thing more carefully:

Code: Select all

#n::
Run Notepad
return

In the final line above, return serves to finish the hotkey. However, if a hotkey needs to execute only a single line, that line can be listed to the right of the double-colon. In other words, the return is implicit:

Code: Select all

#n::Run Notepad

Hopefully, from where it goes on to say what you can do in the case of a single line, you can deduce that what was just shown is what you would use for multiple lines. To make it more explicit for you:

Code: Select all

#n::
Run Notepad
MsgBox, Hello!  I'm on another line!
return
