{} makes my display settings pop up in an AHK script

Okay. I made some shortcuts for coding in JavaScript. Something like:

::fn:: = () => {};

But the curly braces don’t show up, and then my windows 10 side bar pops up for what I want to do with multiple displays. But I don’t even have multiple displays connected. How can I make this better?

Also, is there a way to set the keyboard cursor after AHK replaces text? For example to have the cursor in between the brackets after correction?

Thank you.

Curly braces are parsed for special key names, mouse actions and other stuff.

You can use the R option to disable curly braces being parsed:

:R:fn:: = () => {};

You can also set the cursor inside the brackets like this:

::fn::
SendRaw () => {} ; Send the replacement text
Send {Left}      ; Press the left key once
Return
