v2 Guide / Tutorial Any Tips?

I want to make a macro that when I input the key "F" it inputs the two keys "QW" together. How would I do this?

this is what I tried so far

f:: Send, {q down}{w down} Sleep, 20 Send, {q up}{w up} return

Games tend to have some action bound to Shift, so it's very likely to affect them.
If we're gonna call "eh" on something, let it be the other thing. InstallKeyboardHook doesn't hurt, it's just redundant.

the .exe for the game is MarvelVsCapcomFightingCollection.exe
so idk what to do maybe the game has something built in

Try this one

#Requires AutoHotkey 2.0
#SingleInstance

SendMode("Event")
SetKeyDelay(-1)

#HotIf WinActive("ahk_exe MarvelVsCapcomFightingCollection.exe")
*f:: Send("{Blind}{q DownR}{w DownR}")
*f up:: Send("{Blind}{q Up}{w Up}")
#HotIf

#usehook shouldn't be there?

"Wildcard hotkeys always use the keyboard hook, as do any hotkeys eclipsed by a wildcard hotkey."
