How do I make a script activate when a sentence is typed?

Post by Houuse » 19 Jun 2021, 17:06

Hi all,

I was wondering how I could make a shortcut activate when something like "enable_hotkeys(enter)" is typed.
I've tried:

Code: Select all

T & E & S & T & I & N & G::
send, You did it!
return 
but that seems to only work with two keys.
Can someone please help me out here? I'm new to AHK and any help will be appreciated.

Use hotstrings, not hotkeys:

Code: Select all

:*:testing::
send, You did it!
return
