Hi

Well, I'm afraid I don't know anything at all about AHK. Can you explain in words (rather than code) what you want an AppleScript to do, and I'll sure someone (maybe even me...) will be able to offer some advice.

AHK = AutoHotKey

I am looking for a script that when I push number 2 it will repeat it every 80ms in World of Warcraft and then when I let go of the key it stops

Ah, I understand.

I don't think that AppleScript is really the right thing to use. It's mostly used for automating things in other applications, rather than listening for key strokes.

Having said that, you might find this discussion interesting:
