help needed for autohotkey for workflow

[Drummerforlife]

Morning guys, 

I've been meaning to try and implement hotkeys for my work. I'm working in warehouse inventory and I'm looking at options to reduce the amount of movements needed to do task while logging in the work. What I have in my mind is the following.

 

hotkey ctrl + Numpad 1 = (key press backspace, arrow key up, enter, F8)

 

 

Due to lack of time I cant sit down to give it a try on my own and which is why I'm asking for help here. thanks for those willing to give this a go.

if I'm missing any info needed let me know I'll try my best to reply on a short notice

This should work for that:

 

#NoEnv  ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
; #Warn  ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.
SendMode Input  ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%  ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.


;Lines that start with a semicolon (;) are comments and only there to clarify statements.
;^ means Ctrl and I think Numpad1 and all other keycodes are pretty obvious. 
;You might need to adjust the sleep according to your use/program/PC
^Numpad1::
	SendInput, {Backspace}
	Sleep, 50
	SendInput, {Up}
	Sleep, 50
	SendInput, {Enter}
	Sleep, 50
	SendInput, {F8}
Return

I have generally found sleep for 50 to be quite good, but you might need to adjust that after testing.

 

 

(Also, this code is assuming you want to press one key after another, not have the program press them all at once)

This worked amazingly well, thank you, Tho would it be possible to add one extra step at the end for another input, a combined press of Ctrl Shift and F8 (Ctrl+Shift+F8) or would AHK not be able to do it?

AHK is certainly able to do that  

Just add this where you need it:

; This command first pressed Ctrl down, then Shift down and only then presses F8 to ensure F8 is pressed while the others are down.
SendInput, {Ctrl down}{Shift down}{F8}{Ctrl up}{Shift up}
