Multiple keys in HotKeySet

[Xait]

Hi.

What format should I use to allow me to add more than one button into a hotkey? I have tried:

HotKeySet("{RCTRL}m", Double_Click")

HotKeySet("{RCTRL}""m", Double_Click")

HotKeySet("{RCTRL}+m", Double_Click")

HotKeySet("{RCTRL}"+"m", Double_Click")

I just can't work it out. Is it even possible to add control into it (I tried reading the help file for that part but I just couldn't make sense of it.)

Thanks, Wez

To have a hotkey sequence which uses modifier keys you have to use a special symbol as described in the help to indicate the modifier key to be used. You cannot use the code for the actual modifier key, ie the code you would use in Send.

So Ctrl m would be

HotKeySet("^m","DoubleClick")

Note that the function name must be given as a string. Tagging a quotation mark at the end of the function name is random daftness or a trypo.

If you only want to respond when the right ctrl is pressed then I think the way to do it might be like this

Func DoubleClick()
 If Not _IsPressed("A3") then return;the right Ctrl key is not pressed (needs #include <misc.au3>)
 ;carry on with whatever

EndFunc

I believe this would work for Right Control Shift m

HotKeySet("{RCTRL}+m", "Double_Click")

snowmaker, stand in the corner for 2 hours and contemplate the validity of your beliefs.

Thanks people.

That mistake was a typo (I was too far to reach over to the other screen and copy+ paste so i wrote it again - wrong)

Thanks again, Wez
