im a bit confused about what you want to do. you say that the jsx executes the ahk file.. but that means the script must already be running?

are you using the hotkey to trigger the script? or are you using the script to trigger the hotkey?

Hi @ismail372100939q2m, I don't know the AHK way, but just wanted to check that you know a couple of built-in ExtendScript features:

 

1. app.undo() and app.redo();

 

2. app.executeMenuCommand(menuCommandString) – and here is a list of the command strings.
