AustrianOak 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2008 I'm trying to set a Ctrl+p as one of my hotkeys and this is what I did: HotKeySet("{^}+{p}", "Func1") I know I have to be way off and am tired of guessing as I didn't find any example in the helpfile of setting multi-key hotkeys. Idk, maybe I'm blind and there are examples. In need of help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Xantioss 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2008 (edited) Much thanks Smoke_N. And thanks Pain for your effort. just my litle effort to this topic, '!' This tells AutoIt to send an ALT keystroke, therefore Send("This is text!a") would send the keys "This is text" and then press "ALT+a". N.B. Some programs are very choosy about capital letters and ALT keys, i.e. "!A" is different to "!a". The first says ALT+SHIFT+A, the second is ALT+a. If in doubt, use lowercase! '+' This tells AutoIt to send a SHIFT keystroke, therefore Send("Hell+o") would send the text "HellO". Send("!+a") would send "ALT+SHIFT+a". '^' This tells AutoIt to send a CONTROL keystroke, therefore Send("^!a") would send "CTRL+ALT+a". N.B. Some programs are very choosy about capital letters and CTRL keys, i.e. "^A" is different to "^a". The first says CTRL+SHIFT+A, the second is CTRL+a. If in doubt, use lowercase! '#' The hash now sends a Windows keystroke; therefore, Send("#r") would send Win+r which launches the Run dialog box. HotKeySet("{^}{p}", "Func1") should do the trick I love documentation!!

Richard Robertson 186 Report post Posted June 15, 2008 (edited) It's not {^}{p}. It's just ^p. When you use the { } it will use the character as a character. You need to use it without brackets like Smoke said earlier. Edited June 15, 2008 by Richard Robertson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
