send shift plus key on one keystroke Topic is solved

[d8thstar]

hi all, new to ahk. i am trying to send shift key plus p key by pressing only one key. not a shifted, capital p, want to send shift and p key.

i tried a few different things but the syntax is new to me.

thanks!

Like this:

Code: Select all

a::Send {Shift}{p}

If you want to use some other commands using the same key, then you'd do something like this:

Code: Select all

a::
Send {Shift}{p}
MsgBox, You pressed Shift + p
; More commands...
Return

"send shift and p key"
Do you mean you want to press AND RELEASE shift, then send p, or do you mean Press shift, send p, release shift?
There is zero difference between sending capital P and holding shift plus sending lower case p.
ie there is no such thing as "Send upper case p". There is only "Hold shift and press p"
