Auto-hotkey - use a multiline code as a variable to insert in a file

I've found the following question in Stack-Overflow which is related to mine, but the solution didn't work for me.

I would like to compile an AHK script which opens a file in Notepad++ and inserts a code at a specific line. I've got the AHK script to work with a normal string, but it doesn't work with the code I'm trying to use.

I would like to insert the following code in a file using notepad++

<Macro name="Remove Navis folders" Ctrl="no" Alt="no" Shift="no" Key="0">
<Action type="0" message="2318" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" />
<Action type="3" message="1700" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" /></Macro>"

And here's my script

    obj := {"key": 
(
    <Macro name="Remove Navis folders" Ctrl="no" Alt="no" Shift="no" Key="0">
<Action type="0" message="2318" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" />
<Action type="3" message="1700" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" /></Macro>
)}

Run, notepad++.exe %A_AppData%\Notepad++\shortcuts.xml
Sleep, 200
Send, ^{Home}
Send, ^f
Sleep, 200
Sendraw, <Macros>
Send, {ENTER}{ESC}{Right}
Sleep, 200
Send, {ENTER}{Tab}
Sleep, 200
Send, % obj["key"]

You have to put entire text in " and escape " that are part of the code otherwise there is an error.

obj := {"key": 
(
"<Macro name=""Remove Navis folders"" Ctrl=""no"" Alt=""no"" Shift=""no"" Key=""0"">
<Action type=""0"" message=""2318"" wParam=""0"" lParam=""0"" sParam="""" />
<Action type=""3"" message=""1700"" wParam=""0"" lParam=""0"" sParam="""" /></Macro>"""
)}

MsgBox % obj["key"]
