Using hotkey to run script

[dannybones]

I used to use AutoHotKey, which works like this:

I double-click on the script file to load it. The first line will read something like:

#z::

which means that nothing happens, until I press Windows-z, which makes the script execute.

Maybe I'm dumb as a box of rocks, but I can't figure out how to assign a key to make my AutoIt script execute. How do I do so? Been trying all afternoon to figure it out. Thanks!

Something like this?

HotKeySet("#z", "some_func")

Func some_func()
    ; Perform something

    ; Unregister hotkey and exit (to make this a one-time thing, comment out otherwise)
    HotkeySet("#z")
    Exit
EndFunc

While 1
    Sleep(1000)
WEnd

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

Func YourRoutine()

Do Something

EndFunc

If you hit the Esc Key then the YourRoutine will run. Ant..
