Error: Variable not found (SendInput %name%)

[whats_up]

I don't get it, why my variables, which are written globally, cannot be found when I press a specific key to type a text.

Here is my simple code:

Code: Select all

name := "JOHN"

#HotIf WinActive("Notepad")

q::{
    SendInput %name%
}

Hello,

AHK v2 uses expressions throughout all scripts.

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0
name := 'JOHN'
q::SendText name
