Autohotkeys hotstrings not working in ST3

#1

I use Autohotkeys to provide a range of useful hotstrings and it works fine in all apps on my PC (Windows 10) except Sublime Text 3. A typical one would be:

; right double arrow
hash.::
send {ASC 0187}
return

I’ve found a couple of other posts on this but no help. Can anyone suggest how to fix this?

This hotstring AHK works for me in ST3 3126:

::hash.:: {ASC 0187}

Nope - still not working for me. It always used to work but I have transferred to a new computer and installed the ST3 update to 3126. I emphasise that ahk still works in every app except ST3. It’s not just that hotstring, no ahk hotstring works in ST3. Other than that, ST3 is behaving perfectly.

Does Send, Sendinput, Sendplay work?

Or you can add #InstallKeybdHook at the beginning of the script

Sadly no they don’t. I tried putting #InstallKeybdHook at the beginning of the script but it made no difference

That’s weird. Send, SendRaw, Sendinput merely mimic physical keypress, if these don’t work, then I’m out of idea.
