How to use a word like an hotkey?

if I use HotKeySet("hello", "MyFunction") the function will be called when I press H or E etc... so how to do it?

[Cha0sBG]

here is an exmaple

HotKeySet("x", "OMG")

While 1
Wend

Func OMG()
MsgBox(0, "Working", "HotkeyFunction is Working ")
endfunc

so when you press "X" it will open the function ^^

the hotkey must be a word not a char... word like "hello"

How would that even work? Every time you type "Hello" your function would activate? What if you were trying to type up a document?

Anyway, there's no easy way to do something like that, you'll have to devise your own method of doing it with functions like _IsPressed().

Guess you could always get creative if you didn't want to hook the keyboard:

Global $s_hello_last_key
HotKeySet("h", "_Hello")

While 1
    Sleep(10000)
WEnd

Func _Hello()
    Local $f_move_next = False
    Local $s_key = @HotKeyPressed
    If $s_key = "l" And $s_key = $s_hello_last_key Then $f_move_next = True ;double l
    Switch $s_key
        Case "h"
            HotKeySet("e", "_Hello")
        Case "e"
            If $s_hello_last_key <> "h" Then
                HotKeySet("h", "_Hello")
            Else
                HotKeySet("l", "_Hello")
            EndIf
        Case "l"
            If $f_move_next Then
                HotKeySet("o", "_Hello")
            ElseIf $s_hello_last_key <> "e" Then
                HotKeySet("h", "_Hello")
            EndIf
        Case "o"
            If $s_hello_last_key = "l" Then MsgBox(64, "Info", "You typed hello")
            HotKeySet("h", "_Hello")
    EndSwitch
    $s_hello_last_key = $s_key
EndFunc

Well... no kidding, I didn't write exceptions for spaces, that's up to you. I only gave a working example of how it could be done without hooking anything.
