How can I get a hotkey with “:” (colon) that works in AutoHotKey?

Question

I am trying the following but only the first part works:

*^!;::
Send <
return

*^!`:::
Send >
return

Apparently it is not the proper way to escape the colon ":". Do you have any idea on how to do this?

Answer 1

Erwin,

Try this:

+*^!;::
Send >
return

I assume here that the : character is actually shift ; on your keyboard.

By using the + and ; it should work.
