How do I send a key multiple times in Autohotkey?
If you want the repeat in a loop, let's say every 3 seconds:
#a:: ; Win+a
Loop, 10
{
SendInput {Tab}
Sleep, 3000
}
Try using Send {Tab 10}
Repeating or Holding Down a Key
To repeat a keystroke: Enclose in braces the name of the key followed by the number of times to repeat it. For example:
Send {DEL 4} ; Presses the Delete key 4 times. Send {S 30} ; Sends 30 uppercase S characters. Send +{TAB 4} ; Presses Shift-Tab 4 times.
