Help with AutoHotKey

So AutoHotKey doesn't allow for these "alt codes" characters. Example: m̲p̲g̲h̲

I'm kind of new to this so does anyone know how I could make the script accept those type of "alt codes" because when I do it, I get an error.

Code:

q::q̲

Error Message

I have absolutely no idea what that is

I do not understand what you're talking about.

So basically I'm reassigning keys on my keyboard using AutoHotKey program. The script looks like this:

Code:

q::q̲

and it gives me an error which is:

I want to replace the function of q on my keyboard to q̲ . So everytime I press q on my keyboard it types q̲ not q.

My question is, how can I make this error go away and assign the new key.

I don't know much about this stuff, but could it be that you're missing the "Return" or some kind of command to stop the code from running?

https://autohotkey.com/docs/Tutorial.htm#s12 Found this, hopefully it's of some help.

Whatever your trying to do in AHK can be done with the program i linked you

Yeah try putting return.

'this program does not contain a recognized action'

debugging is a number one skill every programmer should have. Simply reading that tells you that you didn't tell the program to do anything. Like others have come to the conclusion after a pitiful 3 posts you need to give it an action. Return it to avoid the error but I'm unsure in how you're using the alt codes. If you're trying to put it in a string then I think AHK has a different method of doing that.

I've tried the return function

Code:

q:: Send, q̲ Return

̲
and it doesn't give out an error but it does type out the letter q either. It types out this character: ̲
Any other ways?

So I need to understand what's the point of your script or why would you need the use of the alt codes? Like in what context would they be needed? If I know this I can probably whip up the script for you or the segment you need for the alt codes.

You need to use the specify the character using its unicode hex representation, otherwise when AHK tries to read the script it will do weird shit. A quick Google reveals the specifier is A757.

Code:

Send {U+A757}

See how that goes.

Well I want to be able to type in underlines with these alt codes. So if I find each letter on the keyboard with it, this is possible. Though, I really only need one correct script for 1 letter and I can do the rest.

Tried it and it has this really weird character. It gives out this character: 
What did you search? Maybe I'll try finding it or something

I just searched for that weird character online.

Maybe check out the source for this website, I think it does what you want. You'll need to port the code to AHK of course.

Try:

q::
send, q
SendInput, q

Return
