flippertie Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 This may be a little off topic - but it would make Autoit much more useful to me. How can I assign a script to run each time I press a function key. If possible I'd like it there al the time, but if it only works when I'm in a certaim application that would be OK. So for example I hit F9 and a script runs to do something really mundane that I need to do 20 times a day - Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See HotKeySet in the help file. Then construct an endless loop, with a small Sleep period, to keep the hot key(s) active. Phillip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberSlug Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 (edited) You could create a start menu or desktop shortcut to your script. Right-click the shortcut, choose Properties, and assign a hotkey. (You can use any function key except F1, by the way) Edited March 21, 2005 by CyberSlug Use Mozilla | Take a look at My Disorganized AutoIt stuff | Very very old: AutoBuilder 11 Jan 2005 prototype I need to update my sig!

Not sure with 2k >@flippertieWith CyberSlug's way the script don't have run in the back with a sleep command.It only runs when you hit the Hot Key, and then ends when the function is over.
