sending group of key strokes, one at a time

[oontzing]

I'm having trouble writing a script to do the following (hopefully this is pretty simple):

once I press a keystroke (say, CTRL-ALT-L), I'd like AutoHotkey to send F4, F5, F6, F7, F8, in that order, but only one at a time. So the first time I press CTRL-ALT-L, send F4. The next time I press it, send F5, etc... Once it gets to F8, the next one should start over and send F4 again, and so on.

Any thoughts on this?

Hallo,
try:

Code: Select all

Keys := ["F4", "F5", "F6", "F7", "F8"]
No := 0
^!l::Send,% "{" Keys[Mod(No++,Keys.Length())+1] "}"

That works beautifully, thank you! How would I limit the keystrokes to being sent when a specific window is current? ie Only send keystrokes when working in a particular .exe file on the screen?

It sounds like you are looking for something like this

Code: Select all

#IfWinActive,           put the title of the window you want to use here

;put all the hotkeys that you want to use when that window is active here

#if  ; this exits the #If directive so that this window doesn't have to be active for other hotkeys to work.
