Hi all!

 

Brand-new to this software, and obviously very green.

 

I am an engineer and often use greek letters in my work. I have added stickers to my keyboard to extend my keyboard functionality into the greek language.

 

As of yet, I have created Send commands for each given letter for greek each character, which can only be recognized and changed by autocorrect in Microsoft Office.

 

For example:

 

; Alt+a = α

!a::Send \alpha

 

; Alt+Shift+d = Δ

!+d::Send \Delta

 

Now instead of sending to-be auto corrected strings, I would like to send Unicode greek letters, so that I may type these characters outside of office if need be.

 

Thank you all!

Simply download the Unicode version of ahk 1.1+ from the autohotkey Foundation's website at http://ahkscript.org/download/

Unicode letters are supported by default with that version...

I added a tutorial for beginner (like me) in stackoverflow

my answer: look for "how to send unicode characters using the last autohotkey version? (no need of previous unicode-compatible version to work)"

If you are on the non-unicode letters, you can always do this format a::Send {U+03B1}. I have this script for greek letters, both lowercase and uppercase. When you turn on CapsLock with this code, ψου αρε εναβλινγ τψπινγ ιν γρεεκ λεττερσ.

#If GetKeyState("CapsLock","T")

Edit this as you see fit to match it with the keys you want. (I was torn between putting γ on c or g. I ended up putting it on c while using g::Send {ASC 0176} for the degree symbol (°) in my code, but I put it on both c and g in the above code.)
