First of all, since English is not my native language, my thoughts may have been unclear, so please excuse me.

Thank you for your work and I wish you success.

Since I use ppInk only with the keyboard, let's say I want to draw a filled rectangle, I have to press the r key twice. Since the last operation is not remembered, I repeat it every time. Sometimes I have to press the r key three times. As a way out of the problem, I wrote a script to make the additional key (Numpad1) work as rr or rrr with a pause in between with AutoHotKey. Despite working normally everywhere, for some reason ppInk does not respond at all. The same problem exists with the pens and colors used, the last selected one is not remembered and I have to select it again.

To save time, I usually bring most things to a single shortcut with AHK.

If I'm doing something wrong, please forgive me and guide me through this problem.

If possible, it would be better to make the shortcut option separate from the toggle. I didn't get any results from the scripts I wrote to make it work a little more like separate.

If I understand correctly problem comes from: ppInk losts focus when AHK try to send signal.

Another weird behavier: if I press multiple times(some random count for each case) actually shortcut works.

instead of using AHK in order to send sequence of letters, you should try to use the REST API which should be easier to use

@legkamran Is the use of the REST API solving your issue? can we close this ?

Hello, thank you for your attention. It was somewhat fixed with the REST API, though not completely. The problem remains the same — the repeated pressing of the same button continues to cause confusion in the background.
