Combine function keys and numbers with a hotkey

[Jimmyalenius]

Hi! I need to combine function keys with numbers that should be activated in a certain order with a pause in between. So if, for example, I press ^#1::, I want the program to perceive that the F7 button is pressed, do a pause, and then the 1 button. How do I do that? I can only find examples for V1, but I want to use V2 for this.

Regards / Jimmy

Welcome to this AutoHotkey forum!

Code: Select all

#^1:: {
 SetKeyDelay 200
 SendEvent '{F7}1'
}

Hallo,
or:

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0
#^1::Send("{F7}"), Sleep(200), Send("1")

or to get the Sleep uninterruptibility of SetKeyDelay:

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0
#^1::Critical("On"), Send("{F7}"), Sleep(200), Send("1")

Hi! How do you differentiate between "send" and "sendEvent"?

You do it as shown in the scripts. SetKeyDelay does not apply to SendInput.
