Escape doesnt trigger hotkey in another script

[KilliK]

Hello.

I have created 2 scripts:

script 1:

Code: Select all

^esc::
msgbox Hi

script 2:

Code: Select all

R::
send, ^esc

I want whenever I press R, the send command in the second script triggers the msgbox in the first script.
But it doesnt work at all with the Escape key as part of the hotkey.
If I replace Escape with a letter or a number, then the send command works and it triggers the msgbox.
What causes this and how can I fix it?
