Bounty: Simple RNG for AHK

I've been looking everywhere for a script that simply generates a random number and sends the resulting number as a keystoke. For example, hitting CTRL-R generates a number between 1 and 10 then sends a key stoke to 1-10 which ever it happens to choose.
The ultimate aim is to create a hotkey that will generate semi-random bet sizing. My idea was to use the script to send a command to Table Ninja which have assigned various standard bet sizes to the keys the AHK RNG would send keystokes to. For example, I set "1" in TN to be 50% pot, "2" to 67% pot, and "3" to 100% pot. So I hit CTRL-R and TN will input one of these into the bet box.
Basically what I want is an AHK script that will send a random keystroke (within a small range obv) to TN which in turn will input a bet. I asked Tarath several times in the TN thread, and while he said it would be easy to implement it never became a priority.
I can offer $25 (Stars transfer only) to the first person that can create such a script. It should be completely elementary to anyone with some experience with AHK. No fee is fine too considering it will likely take someone less time to generate the script than for me to write this email.
Alternative solutions to randomizing bet size are also welcome.
Thanks,

P.S. There is an old and obsolete (and very awesome) AHK script called Poker Pad that had a command for random bet sizing. I think I found the relevant code in the script but really had no idea how to suit it to my uses:

What I thought was the relevant code was this from the main pokerpad.ahk:
and this from the functions.ahk :

return factor/100

Pretty much awesome. It's working well. I am using a gaming keypad with macros so all I had to do was bind CTRL-R to a key. Tested it in notepad then Stars and it works great. However, it will enter the keystroke in the text box if your cursor is over it. No biggie tho.
I knew the code would be simple. PM your Stars name if you'd like me to ship you $25.
Also, is it possible to add a modifier to the sent keystroke? For example, send "ALT-1" instead of "1", so I won't be randomly making random bets when I'm trying to write an email. I tried adding "^" in various places for CTRL-X, but couldn't get it to work.
I will now be playing GTO, so watch out.
Thanks again,
