Tab Character in Gmail

[RefBob]

I am totally new to AHK. I've poked around and searched the forums, but I haven't found an answer yet.

Gmail does not support inserting [Tab] into a message. You can do it by using ASCII code 009 but my current computer doesn't make that easy (or even possible). (You have to use Num Lock to activate the imbedded number pad, then hold down ALT while typing 009. This computer doesn't have the number pad option or Num Lock and I can't get it to work with my USB number pad.)

So, how do I use AHK to send an ASCII code in a gmail message so that it inserts a tab character?

Thanks,

Bob

Code: Select all

#IfWinActive ahk_class Chrome_WidgetWin_1
F3::Send {ASC 009}
#IfWinActive

That works!

Many thanks.
