Batch file for HOME key?

Welcome to the Forums.


Autohotkey

To send Home key when the script is run try this

Code:

#NoTrayIcon
Sendmode Input
Send {Home}

It will send Home to the active window when run, then quit

It can either be run as script or compiled to an exe file.

Edit: AutoHotkey is free by the way.

tried with no luck,

That's rather vague. Without specific info there's nothing for me to do.

It's not VBScript. It's Autohotkey. I provided the link to download it.

You can use any plain text editor. Notepad is fine. Save the script to a file with .ahk extension. Example home.ahk. Autohotkey comes with help that explains how to run programs.

The thing is when you run this program it will send the home key to the active window as if you pressed it. So, if you are typing in a command prompt to run it, that will be the window that gets the home key sent to it. Probably not what you want. You should spell out more what you want to do with it and why you need the macro.

There are dedicated forms for this already here:
Support - AutoHotkey Community

It can be done easily. Just explain what you need on that AHK forum in the link. Something easy like that I'm sure someone will help you out. That's what that forum is for.
