Code: Select all

^F4::
Send,{tab}{tab}{tab}clipboard{tab}{enter}

I'm trying to use the CTRL-F4 key combo to send the following: TAB TAB TAB "contents of the windows clipboard" TAB ENTER


I have the TABS and ENTER keys working... what do I do to make the word "clipboard" in my script the windows clipboard variable?


Thanks
john

Thanks. One more that is kicking me around. How do I represent the left arrow key?
