Send Tilde?

Post by oooo35980 » 02 Jun 2023, 09:26

Good morning!
I just download AHK and started playing around with it. I'm trying to figure out how to send ` as a keystroke, which is apparently more complicated that it looks, owing to the ` being used as a modifier, I guess. I basically want the window to think I've pressed the `/~ key. There's probably some really easy and obvious way to do it, but I haven't been able to find it in the help files, so I figured I'd save some time and ask.

Thanks for any help!

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0
Tab::Send "``"

See Escape Sequences.

By the way, tilde is the ~ character, not the `, which is known as the backtick or grave accent.
