Use of backtick in triggering abbreviation of hotstring Topic is solved

[robertf]

I'm just starting to use AHK (version 2). I've successfully created the hotstring

Code: Select all

::\``e::è

.
Then I tried both

Code: Select all

::\e``::è

and

Code: Select all

::\e`::è

and it says they need AHK version 1.
I've read the documentation and tried some variations and I haven't managed to make it work. Could someone please point out what I'm doing wrong?
Thank you.

Works here.

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0
::\``e::è
::\e``::è

Save the script file as UTF-8 with BOM signature.

Thank you for quick reply! I was missing the line '#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0'. I don't really understand the relationship between that and an error message saying that I needed version 1, but it works now and I'm happy

(I apologize for the delay in replying. I neglected to subscribe to the topic (vaguely assuming that it would happen automatically when I created the topic) and have just now found time to return to the problem.)
