hotkeyset

[C2A]

Hello

I want to set a hot key of ESC to CTRL+v

ESC key should work as [Paste]

tried

Func paste()

Send("{CTRL}"+"v")

EndFunc

While 1

Sleep(500)

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "paste")

WEnd

but its not working for me.

You were so close

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "paste")

While 1
    Sleep(500)
WEnd

Func paste()
    Send("^v") ;Also try Send(ClipGet())
EndFunc   ;==>paste

Oh, and since this seemed to be the troubling part,

'!'

This tells AutoIt to send an ALT keystroke, therefore Send("This is text!a") would send the keys "This is text" and then press "ALT+a".

N.B. Some programs are very choosy about capital letters and ALT keys, i.e. "!A" is different to "!a". The first says ALT+SHIFT+A, the second is ALT+a. If in doubt, use lowercase!

'+'

This tells AutoIt to send a SHIFT keystroke, therefore Send("Hell+o") would send the text "HellO". Send("!+a") would send "ALT+SHIFT+a".

'^'

This tells AutoIt to send a CONTROL keystroke, therefore Send("^!a") would send "CTRL+ALT+a".

N.B. Some programs are very choosy about capital letters and CTRL keys, i.e. "^A" is different to "^a". The first says CTRL+SHIFT+A, the second is CTRL+a. If in doubt, use lowercase!

'#'

The hash now sends a Windows keystroke; therefore, Send("#r") would send Win+r which launches the Run dialog box.
