Hotstring one-liner with expression Topic is solved

[zxw]

Hi! Can you please tell me if I can have a hotstring one-liner for a text insertion, using some expressions. It seems that I can do it for a hotkey, but for a hotstring I have to use a code block. Or maybe I do something wrong, of course, just starting to learn Autohotkey. Thanks!

Code: Select all

^t::SendText(FormatTime(,"HH:mm"))     ; ok

:*:tt!::
{ SendText(FormatTime(,"HH:mm"))       ; ok
}

:*:tx!::SendText(FormatTime(,"HH:mm")) ; no
