Autohotkey Help

[alnyden]

I'm trying a simple autohotkey script but can't get it to work.  I'd like the "c" key to send alt+Control+F5.  I've tried a variety of combinations (using Send command or not) but it doesn't seem to be work.  Something like c::!^F5.  Thanks for any help!

Try

c::

Send, ^!{F5}

return

or simpler version

c::Send ^!{F5}

Thanks Retro.  Tried that but got it to work eventually by using:

c:: Send {LCtrl Down}{LAlt Down}{f5 Down} {LCtrl Up}{LAlt Up}{f5 Up}

I'm using the script in MAME, not sure if that's why I had to add the "down" and "up" commands.

MAME might indeed be a special case, especially if you don't have the dinput option turned on in the mame.ini file.

Hey you got it working so that is great. Not sure why either. Those are just telling the command to press and release. I do not mess with AHK much in fact I just really started learning more about it.
