Calling Hotstring in Command mode
Posted: May 11th, ’22, 13:38
Hi guys, not sure if this was brought up before, but I can't seem to find literature nor documentation on this, (that or i'm just plain dumb) nor AHK forums about what is seemingly, a straight-forward problem.
I have a hotstring with replaces addr1 (abbrev) with my address (i.e, 99, Sesame Street, 01-01). The entry in the phrase file will look like
::addr1::99, Sesame Street, 01-01
When i put in some simple code under 'command' mode, i would like the flexibility to use hotstring such as addr1 for either output purposes or as a variable for another set of codes that i write, depending on what i want eventually. I understand there is a feature of using 'insert another item' under 'send' mode, but i felt learning to be comfortable using command mode matters more, as it is the same language as ahk, and i can find more utility in learning to write that way, than to rely solely on the send and run function. Also there is a vast community in ahk universe. Alas, the above have been gnawing at me for a couple days now, so i would appreciate any help
