Sending the vertical tab

16 Aug 2018, 14:07

Microsoft Word, among other applications, supports the vertical tab, ASCII 11 and Unicode 000B. But

SendInput, {U+000B}

does nothing in these applications and

SendInput, {ASC 11}

produces ♂, Unicode 2642. Is there a way of sending the vertical tab?

Hallo,
see: https://autohotkey.com/docs/commands/_E ... _Sequences
In AutoHotkey the following escape sequences can be used (when the accent is the escape character):
`v vertical tab -- corresponds to Ascii value 11. It can also be manifest in some applications by typing Control+K.

I tried

Code: Select all

t::Send,`v
in my german word 2010, but it does the same as Control+K: Word opens a window to create a hyperlink.
