Any way to trigger an AHK hotkey from the QAP menu?

I have a lot of AHK scripts (all in AHK 2.x) all in a single .ahk file. Some of them are fairly extensive. For example, a script that uses F24 to open several webpages in a new browser window and enters login credentials for some of them. I use a Streamdeck to trigger the script since it uses an extended function key. I'm wondering if there's any way to map that hotkey to the QAP menu so I could open QAP and double click on that menu item to run that script.

You could create a Snippet of type "Macro mode" (in "Advanced settings") and insert in it the content {F24}.

Thank you! I hadn't understood the need for the curly brackets. Once I added those it worked perfectly. QAP is one my most-used applications. I so appreciate you writing it and keeping it maintained.
