Repeat numlock keys in autohotkey

Question

How do I setup autohotkey so that it repeats the keys on the numpad? Here's the naive version of it:

{
keys = 23456790.-+/*   ; all the keys you want to accelerate 
Loop Parse, keys 
   Hotkey *%A_LoopField%, KEY 
Return 

KEY: 
   StringRight key, A_ThisHotKey, 1 
   t := 0.11            ; initial delay [seconds] 
   Loop { 
      Send {BLIND}{RAW}%key% 
      KeyWait %key%, T%t% 
      If ErrorLevel = 0 
         Break 
      t := t > 0.12 ? t*0.79 : 0.115   ; delay *= 0.80, while delay > 0.02 
   }
return
}

I had hoped that just replacing "2" with "{Numpad2}" (and similarly in the other slots) would do the trick, but it doesn't.

You should change your approach. Instead of extracting the number from the string, treat the hotkeys as they are. So don't send 2 instead of Numpad2, but just send Numpad2. I don't think KeyWait is needed. Just have a timer that measures the time passed and send a key if it is time to. — 2501

This seems to work

$Numpad0::
$Numpad1::
$Numpad2::
$Numpad3::
$Numpad4::
$Numpad5::
$Numpad6::
$Numpad7::
$Numpad8::
$Numpad9::
$NumpadDot::
$NumpadSub::
$NumpadMult::
$NumpadDiv::
$NumpadDel::
$7::
$8::
$9::
$0::
StringReplace, ThisKeyLabel, A_Thishotkey, $
While GetKeyState(ThisKeyLabel,"P")
{
    Random, r, 10, 30
    sleep r
    Send % "{" . ThisKeyLabel "}"
}
return
