I want this AutoHotKey script:

::aaim::
(
==aim
2010

2
){Left}{Up}

to output this:

==aim
2010
|
2

but it outputs this instead:

==aim
2010

2{Left}{Up} }|

(where "|" is the cursor)

How can I get it to print the first version?

This should work:

:r0*:aaim::
(
==aim
2010

2
{Left}{Up}
)

In action:

perfect, what does the "r0*" actually mean? – Edward Tanguay Oct 23 '09 at 21:24

+1 for the convincing video, what tool did you use to record the .gif? – Edward Tanguay Oct 23 '09 at 21:25
r0 stops the continuation () from using default raw mode to send text. The asterisk (*) triggers the key and it sends the text as soon as you press the m, so pressing space or enter afterwards isn't necessary (and would only make things harder since I'd have to add another {Left}). – John T Oct 24 '09 at 3:04
