F3 command

[patricknielsen21]

Hi,

I'm quite new at this and is just getting started.
The reason I started using hotkeys is because a lot of my work is repetitions, so I'd like to know what to write in order to use the F3 command.
So when I activate the hotkey the F3 on my keyboard will trigger

I've tried:
Send {F3}
Which do not work.

Hope it's understandable.

Thanks

Hello! Welcome to the Forums! What is the hotkey you are using to trigger F3? Can you post all of your code? Don't forget to use "[ code ][ /code ]" tags!

Just before your "x" command put in a call to F3 and see if your script triggers it. Most likely it's executing the F3, but just not in the way you are expecting. Maybe your focus isn't on the correct window?

Code: Select all

F3::Msgbox
x::
... ; your existing code

Also, do the modifier keys not work for you? i.e. Send, ^c is equal to (if not better than) Send, {Ctrl Down}c{Ctrl Up}
