AutoHotKey Script for "Cut Time..."/"Insert Time"

[SquishTurner]

Hi all,

Using PT 2019 on Windows 10 and I use the cut time/insert time functions a lot. Right now I keep the time operations window open and just click on apply, so the window remains up, but I'd really benefit from a macro that opens the appropriate window, cuts/inserts time, and closes it.

I've been trying AutoHotKey and I can't seem to get it to work. I'm a real coding novice, so any help is appreciated. Can someone tell me what's wrong with my script? (Or any other problem that might cause this not to work?)

^+i::
WinMenuSelectItem, Pro Tools, , Event, Time Operations, Insert Time..., Apply
Return

This does nothing for me.
Thanks in advance for your help!

I couldn't make it work either. My guess is that it's because the Time Operations window is a pop up that contains 'Insert Time...' as one of the options in a drop down menu.

There's a chance it won't work with AHK because of that, but I'm no AHK expert, so I could totally be wrong.
