This script executes first entry from a Scripts with name starting with "f". 

 

 

	RWin::Send, !frf

 

 

How to press second entry (script) which name starts with f?

Example, Scriprs menu commans (scripts): 

...
exportDocs
fitAndCenter
fitSelection
fitAndScale
...

 
Currently that script executes firAndCenter, but I need fitSelection.

it might not be possible. As an alternative, after pressing Alt+F, R, press the down arrow as many times as needed to highlight your menu item, then press Enter

CarlosCanto's way of doing things made it possible. However, it could not be executed with the Windows key alone in my environment, so the following code is triggered with the Windows key + A.

; Syntax of AutoHotkey 2.0
#HotIf WinActive("ahk_exe Illustrator.exe")

#A::{
  send("{Alt}frf{Down}{Enter}")
  return
}

@sttk3 it seems that 

frf{Down}{Enter}

still executes the first script on f, at least for the first version of AutoHotkey
