Script to do a series of key inputs?

[fender967]

I'm trying to get it so that when I press Shift+w windows reacts as if i have pressed:

Ctrl+r
down arrow key 5 times
enter

I can't figure out which operators to use.

Code: Select all

$+w::			; registers Shift+w hotkey ($  forces keyboard hook)
Send, ^r		; sends Ctrl+r
Send, {Down 5}	; sends down arrow key 5 times
Send, {Enter}	; sends enter
return			; finishes hotkey subrputine

Is there any way to do this only when in a specific program?

#IfWinActive, Notepad
$+w:: ; registers Shift+w hotkey ($ forces keyboard hook)
Send, ^r ; sends Ctrl+r
Send, {Down 5} ; sends down arrow key 5 times
Send, {Enter} ; sends enter
return ; finishes hotkey subrputine


Just add "#IfWinActive, WindowName" at the beginning.

return ; finishes hotkey subrputine


Just add "#IfWinActive, WindowName" at the beginning.

I see, but what if the window name in the program changes depending on the file that is open? This is how it works in Adobe Bridge, which is what I'm trying to use it in.

Then use Window Class. For example: #IfWinActive ahk_class Notepad
