How to send the ` character to Unix

[DengyDon]

Hi,

I want to have a text substitution that is a Unix command

the command starts with

for x in `ls -1`

The command works on Unix, but if I include the same text in my .ahk file like

::bebop::for x in `ls -1`

when I use the short cut the ` character is not part of the text that replaces the short cut so I get

for x in ls -1

and this fails. Any ideas how I can have AHK send the ` character?

Thanks in advance.

Could I try ?

for x in {ALTDOWN}{Numpad9}{Numpad6}{ALTUP}ls -1{ALTDOWN}{Numpad9}{Numpad6}{ALTUP}

That works

The ` char (back tic) is the AutoHotkey escape character, so just double it (Escape it) ``
See https://autohotkey.com/docs/commands/_EscapeChar.htm

or use the T or R(less recommended) hotstring flag for raw text
