User set hotkey

[crislivinitup]

I have a GUI and I want to implement a way to set a hotkey for macros that I have already programmed. the macros are chosen from a list. I saw on many GUIs before -not from autoit - where if a user presses a button it will appear in an input box and they can save the hotkey for that task or function. here is what I have so far, it's very disorganized though - it's just the rough draft to help me tweak the programming until I get the desired result. I'm sure there is a much easier way then I have went about it. I built a list to convert all the _ispressed values from misc.au3 to a format which hotkeyset() will accept. I have included what's in my ini file at the bottom in the comment section. Can anyone help me please?

#include<misc.au3>
GUICreate("shit",200,200,200,200)
HotKeySet("{NUMPADADD}","set")
GUIsetstate()
call("readkeylist")
Local $hotkey
Local $nodubs
$c=0
$loop=0
while $loop=0
    for $i = 1 to 149
        if _IsPressed(hex($i)) Then
            if not StringRegExp($nodubs," "&$i&",") and $keylist[$i] <> "invalid hotkey" Then
;~              if $i = 16 or $i=17 or $i = 18 and Not StringRegExp($nodubs," 1[678],") Then   ;I want to configure it so it only accepts a key value of 16-18 if there is no other key value of 16-18 because those values are ctrl alt and shift. I just want to let the user use one of them for the hot keys. It would be nice to have it allow only a modifier, such as: ctrl, alt and shift, and 1 other key but I'll get to doing that later. 
                $hotkey=$hotkey&$keylist[$i]
                $nodubs=$nodubs&" "&$i&","
                msgbox (0,"key pressed",$hotkey)
;~              EndIf
            EndIf
;~          msgbox (0,"key pressed",hex($i),1)
;~          msgbox (0,"key pressed",$keylist[$i],1)
;~          $val_key=InputBox("key pressed","enter key value corresponding to send() command","")   ;this is what I used to build the ini file -
;~          IniWrite(@DesktopDir&"/this.ini","key",$i,$val_key)   ; - with this
;~          HotKeySet($keylist[$i],"quit")

I tried to do something like this before, but found, to my dismay, that several of the punctuation keys are not the same IsPressed number across different languages. The best thing I was able to come up with was a function I just recently posted, which you can grab here.

And uh, why are you using call? That's not how you're supposed to run a function like that.

Well it does the same thing as putting readkeylist() by itself, does it not?

I like this script alot! I was thinking about taking that sort of approach but I like the idea of the user inputting commands directly into the keyboard, however I am very pleased will use this, thank you very much for the reply.
