Hi, I'm trying to figure out a function that enables me to do on demand mapping.

My algorithm/logic (in layman's language is as follows):

1. Press F7 (to initiate on demand mapping)
2. Wait for user to push 4 letters in sequence.
3. Push 4 letters in sequence; store each letter as variables v1 to v4

4. Somewhere in the AHK file do mappings for:
A:v1
B:v2
C:v3
D:v4

So A will map to the first key, B to the second etc.

Maybe additionally, push F8 to remap v1 to v4 back to A, B, C, D (ie their original function).

All help would be appreciated.

What you are asking for is not very dificult but most people here won't just give you scripts unless you show some effort. Read about Hotkey command, Hotkeys, Input, and the Tutorial.
Try some things and if you can't get it to work post the nonworking code to show you tried.

Thanks None, I'm not a programmer so I'm a little slow picking up on these things; but with the clues you've provided, I've came up with this:

Code:
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;Defining Variables (for initial loading)
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
v1 = q
v2 = w
v3 = r
v4 = v

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;On Demand Loading using F7
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

Hotkey, F7, SetupAbilities
return

SetupAbilities:
Input , v1 , L1 I
Input , v2 , L1 I
Input , v3 , L1 I
Input , v4 , L1 I
Keywait , %v4%

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;Mapping QWRV to v1 to v4
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

q::  ;Maps q to variable v1.  Modifiers plus "q" work as per normal.
   SendInput, {%v1%}
return

w::  ;Maps q to variable v2.  Modifiers plus "w" work as per normal.
   SendInput, {%v2%}
return

r::  ;Maps q to variable v1.  Modifiers plus "r" work as per normal.
   SendInput, {%v3%}
return

v::  ;Maps q to variable v1.  Modifiers plus "v" work as per normal.
   SendInput, {%v4%}
return


The F7 thing seems to work, but for some reason, the initial loading of variables don't; I keep getting errors.

The way I wish it to work is for the keys qwrv to map to qwrv (ie no change) as default, until I need to change them on demand, in which case I press F7 and 4 letters, to remap them.

This is what I would do
Code:
v1:="a",v2:="b",v3:="c",v4:="d" ;preset sends

F7:: ;to change what is sent
Input , v1 , L1 I
Input , v2 , L1 I
Input , v3 , L1 I
Input , v4 , L1 I
SoundBeep ;to indicate done
Return

F8:: ;to turn hotkeys on and off
Hotkey, q, Toggle
Hotkey, w, Toggle
Hotkey, r, Toggle
Hotkey, v, Toggle
Return

q::SendInput, {%v1%}
w::SendInput, {%v2%}
r::SendInput, {%v3%}
v::SendInput, {%v4%}

Thanks None, I'll try your version out.

The key difference I see is that the initial presetting of variables is done using := instead of = and the use of quotes. What's the difference in this?

v1:="a"

and

v1 = a

This could explain why mine didn't work at the start.

Code:
$q::SendInput, {%v1%}
$w::SendInput, {%v2%}
$r::SendInput, {%v3%}
$v::SendInput, {%v4%}

You probably need the $ modifier there.
Read: Table of Hotkey Prefix Symbols (Modifiers)

The assignment syntax should not be the problem.
