Help With Multi Hotkeying

[coolness]

Here is the script that I do have. it will allow me to choose one hotkey to auto write one message. but when I try to duplicate that sectoin of code, and change [f1} to {F2} in the secound string, it says its a duplicate funtion. please help, if you can.

run("notepad.exe")

HotKeySet( "{F1}", "_Open")

While 1

Wend

Func _Open ()

send("Yes f1 wrote this.")

EndFunc ;==>_Open

that script works just fine.

this one doesn't work.

run("notepad.exe")

HotKeySet( "{F1}", "_Open")

While 1

Wend

Func _Open ()

send("Yes f1 wrote this.")

EndFunc ;==>_Open

HotKeySet( "{F2}", "_Open")

While 1

Wend

Func _Open ()

send("Yes f2 wrote this.")

EndFunc ;==>_Open

Could someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

You mentioned this is another section, I thought you were asking there. And stop with the large fonts.

Anyways, you are getting exactly the error you should be getting. You are putting "Func _Open" twice. You can't have 2 functions with the same name in the same file.

do you know how, I can get it to work, to where it will allow multiple hotkey functions, under one. script?

Write. a full. sentence, using, proper grammar?

Tell the second hotkey to go to a different function. Like IceKirby said, it doesn't have anything to do with you calling it twice or using different hotkeys to call it, the reason it isn't working is because you have two declarations of Func _Open(). Call one _Open2() and you'll be fine.

Next time post support questions in the support forum. This is the Scripts and Scraps forum, a place for posting complete programs.

Easy for a person living the language!

Please reply in a neutral language, Esperanto. (hmm, not that I speak it )

Comon guys hes a nooby. its not his fault he was just born that way. lol

it should look like this:

Opt("SendKeyDelay", 0);speed
run("notepad.exe")
HotKeySet( "{F1}", "_Open")
HotKeySet( "{F2}", "_Open2")
While 1
Wend

Func _Open ()
send("Yes f1 wrote this." )
EndFunc;==>_Open
Func _Open2 ()

send("Yes f2 wrote this.")
EndFunc;==>_Open2

That's it

I can run f1-f12 as hotkeys. However I would like to add a ctrl+whatever alt+whatever, as hotkeys too. example ctrl+q or ctrl+qw Or Alt+Q or Ctrl+QW. could someone tell me how to add that to the script?

[ConsultingJoe]

use {ctrl}{f1} or ^{f1}

READ YOUR HELP FILE

[coolness]

That worked for Ctrl, just need to find out alt, thanks zerocool.

Read your helpfile and stop repeating questions.

This is a very bad way to write a program.

A basic skeletton would be :

HotKeySet("{F1}", "_yourfunc")
HotKeySet("{F2}", "_yourfunc")
HotKeySet("{F2}", "_yourfunc")
....

While 1
WEnd

Func _yourfunc()
Switch @HotKeyPressed
  Case "{F1}"
    Send("F1 pressed")
  Case "{F2}"
    Send("F2 pressed")
  Case "{F3}"
    Send("F3 pressed")
EndSwitch
EndFunc

I wrote it just here, not tested, but it should work with few debug.
