⚡ AutoIt Quick Tip: Changing Hotkeys at Runtime

HotKeySet($myKey, _MyFunc)
$oldKey = $myKey

; Change hotkey
HotKeySet($oldKey)        ; Unregister OLD key first
$myKey = "^!x"             ; Set NEW key this could also be done earlyer doenst matter because we have old key var :)
HotKeySet($myKey, _MyFunc)
$oldKey = $myKey

Remember:
Unregister OLD → Change variable → Register NEW

Otherwise you might end up with an old hotkey still lurking in the background so i share this Quick ReMinder for you and me

..hard to think as if "Mr. Roboto" but yes, we assign a function to a hotkey and not the other way around
