hotkeys

[Guest pgoulash]

i am setting shift+alt+d as a hot key. <<HotKeySet("+!d", "my_function")>>

so while using an app, visual studio in this case, i want to be able to write my own shortcuts+functions and assign them hotkeys of my choosing. (shift+alt+d above, but doesn't have to be, f1-f12 or whatever.) i try just showing a simple msgbox, though doesn't work. do i need to target the app i want to create a hot key in? not sure. can we overide hotkeys set by an application we're using? for example: your using photoshop, and you want to make ctrl+s do something other than save, possible?

i eat goulash, thank you

Sure, just create a loop to test what window is currently active. If a different window becomes active you can disable the current hotkeys and enable the set for whatever application just took focus.

thanks pekster...

say notepad was the active app, could you show how i would have ctrl+s perform some function, like just writing a line into notepad?

thanks
