ploylitarynode 0 Posted May 5, 2010 Is there a way to run a script from a keystroke? Say I wanted to hit alt+ctrl+p to launch a script. How would I go about doing that? thanks, -Ploxy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PsaltyDS 39 Posted May 5, 2010 (edited) You could run a script in the background with HotKeySet() to activate a function or call another script. P.S. You can also set a hot key in Windows via the properties of a shortcut. See FileCreateShortcut() in the help file. Edited May 5, 2010 by PsaltyDS Valuater's AutoIt 1-2-3, Class...

ploylitarynode 0 Posted May 5, 2010 (edited) Okay so I tried some tinkering.

AdmiralAlkex 125 Posted May 5, 2010 any thoughts on what I am doing wrong? You can't declare a function inside a function! .Some of my scripts: ShiftER, Codec-Control, Resolution switcher for HTC ShiftSome of my UDFs: SDL UDF, SetDefaultDllDirectories, Converting GDI+ Bitmap/Image to SDL Surface Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
