Let's say I have a script which binds Ctrl+F to some method. But I also want to remap my AppsKey to Ctrl. How do I remap the AppsKey and still let it fire my own method when I press ApssKey+F. (Note: I don't want to redefine the hokey since there are lot's of hotkeys that should work with both keys).

I tried to do the following:

Code:

^f::SomeFunction()
AppsKey::Ctrl

When I press Ctrl+F, it triggers the function correctly, but when I press AppsKey+F, it doesn't trigger the function.

What's the best way to do this?
Thanks

Nope that doesn't work. I don't want to define the hotkey with AppsKey if possible so that it works with both Ctrl and AppsKey and I don't have to duplicate multiple hotkeys.

Also, the hotkeys you provided doesn't make AppsKey+F or even Ctrl+F work so it doesn't help.

Thanks for trying though

I don't have that problem. But if you have many other hotkeys, then there's maybe another hotkey that overtakes when defined after this?

Code:

^f::msgbox %A_ThisHotkey% function  ; called with Ctrl-F and Ctrl-AppsKey
AppsKey::Ctrl

Yeah, you're right. I just tried it with a new script and it works both with #usehook on and off.

btw, I think you meant Ctrl+F and AppsKey+F, not Ctrl+F and AppsKey+Ctrl.
