local hotkey?

[fabianenos]

how do i make a hotkey only work inside my app?

so far i have been using this:

HotKeySet("^a", "HotKey_MakeLocal"); Ctrl+a

Func HotKey_MakeLocal()
    If WinActive("GUI_title") Then
;Rest of the code
    EndIf
EndFunc

but then Ctrl+a wont work in other apps. how do i make it work in my app to do what i want as well as in other apps to do what they were set to do?

You need whats known as a key accelerator:

the GUISetAccelerators is not working. the compiler says that it is an invalid command. any clue to why this is happening. i am using version 3.2.10.0

while looking in the manual i found a way of unsetting hotkeys for a while and i tried this and it worked.

HotKeySet("^a", "HotKey_MakeLocal")

Func HotKey_MakeLocal()
    If WinActive("GUI_title") Then
    ; rest of the code
    Else
        HotKeySet("^a")
        Send("^a")
        HotKeySet("^a", "HotKey_MakeLocal")
    EndIf
EndFunc

i know this post is a month old...

You will need 3.2.11.3 (beta and higher) to use that function

another way is for example (70 = F1)

If _IsPressed("70") And WinActive("Program Title") Then Function()

But it could be detected as a keylogger
