combinations

[seres]

hello how can i make a combination of key pressed so it activates something, like i want to open a window by typing lm

i got an idea but im not sure

While 1

if _ispressed (4c) & if _ispressed (4D) then

MsgBox(0, "window","nop1")

Sleep(100)

WEnd

Sounds like you should use "HotKeySet()."

Typing "lm" and holding l+m at the same time are two different things, you need to be more specific.

Using your example, this could work:

#include <Misc.au3>

While 1
    If _IsPressed("4c") And _IsPressed("4D") Then; use the logical operator And instead of &(as & adds stuff together)
        MsgBox(0, "window","nop1")
    EndIf
    Sleep(10); If you're gonna use _IsPresed, you must use it in a tight loop, or you might "miss" keystrokes.
WEnd

But as AdmiralAlkex said, if you want to type it(as in a sentence), then it's a whole other thing(involving having to check every key on the keyboard most probably)...

Or use a Keyboard Hook.

Indeed.

Try this:

Global Const $L = 0x4C
Global Const $M = 0x4D

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "_Exit")

While 1
    $aLRet = DllCall("user32", "ushort", "GetKeyState", "int", $L)
    $aMRet = DllCall("user32", "ushort", "GetKeyState", "int", $M)

    If ($aLRet[0] > 1) And ($aMRet[0] > 1) Then MsgBox(0, "window","nop1")
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func _Exit()
    Exit
EndFunc

Func _Exit()

EndFunc

That'll only work if the two keys are pressed at the same time, he's probably wanting to detect a sentence being written. Nice example though.
