Process button presses on the Arduino Uno with AutoHotkey

Hello,
I am an electrical engineering student and I am currently writing my student research project.
I have to trigger different key combinations on the laptop with the Arduino Uno using buttons. The app I should use for this is called AutoHotkey.
Meanwhile I have built a circuit with two buttons that are connected to pin 8 and pin 7. With the Arduino software I can output 1 and 2 via the serial monitor. Now I want to integrate these data into an Autohotkey Script so that the values each trigger a key combination.
Does anybody know how to integrate the arduino uno into an AutoHotkey Script?
Kind Regards

If AutoHotkey has scripts that are triggered by key combinations then you can certainly use specific Arduinos to simulate keypresses on the PC

Is that what you have in mind ?

The problem is that the professor specifies the Arduino Uno.

If that is the case then I can be of no further help

Good luck with your project

Hello luz8062
I´m not able to see any realatioship between the AHK App running on the PC and the Arduino.
Please explain.

My professor wants a Hotkey Telco Box. The Box should assist him during his meetings. The Box should be able to trigger key combinations that e.g. unmute/mute or open the chat etc.

Hello
Take a view here to get some ideas.

Have a nice day and enjoy coding in C++.

Why the insistence on using a Uno when it has the most awkward form factor of any Arduino board and is difficult to make permanent connections to ?
