I'm using the following AutoHotkey script:

Numpad4::Send !f

When pressing Numpad4 AutoHotkey is supposed to send "Alt+F" to the program currently opened. Nothing happens however - I've also tried:

Numpad4::!f

and

Numpad4::Send {Alt}f

Any ideas how I can get this working?

Try this:

Numpad4::
KeyWait Alt
Send f
return

I know you technically want it to hit alt then f, but this has the same effect.

  • nope... it seems like he tries to enter the upper menu like when you press Alt alone

  • @DDDD, are you sure there is something that the program does if you hit alt+f? Hitting it in most applications will just open the file menu, if it has one (because hitting alt "reveals" the menus and f is the shortcut key for the file menu, hitting as a key combo does the same thing as hitting alt alone then following up with f.)

    It is sound editing software, it has lots of shortcuts. Alt+F is one of them, without using the menu. So hitting alt and then F isn't the same as Alt+f

For Excel this AutoHotKey script sends Alt e s v (paste special values)

alt & v::
Send, {LAlt Down}{e}{s}{v}{LAlt Up}{enter}
return

I think it's the left Alt that makes it work. (I probably should have asked and answered a more specific question and answered myself than replying here)
