Send apostrophe key ` with key ´ Topic is solved

[kai]

I have a German keyboard and want that a press of the apostrophe key ` will send the gravis apostrophe key ´ (used in programming).

This is my script, which does not work:

Code: Select all

; make shift+graphis-apostrophe+space accessible through akut-apostrophe
SC00D:: ; Send apostrophe key ` with key ´ (has hex value "00D")
	String := "` "
	SendRaw %String%
return

Seems that AHK or Windows has problems with the apostrophe...

I can send other keys, e. g. letters "abc" with the same script, this works:

Code: Select all

; make shift+graphis-apostrophe+space accessible through akut-apostrophe
SC00D:: ; Send apostrophe key ` with key ´ (has hex value "00D")
	String := "abc"
	SendRaw %String%
return

Any help appreciated.

Just found out that the ` must be escaped by ironically `

https://autohotkey.com/docs/commands/Send.htm

; make shift+graphis-apostrophe+space accessible through akut-apostrophe
SC00D:: ; Send apostrophe key ` with key ´ (has hex value "00D")
String := "`` "
SendRaw %String%
return
