Post subject: I don't understand HotKey command with Toggle

Hi,

I've read the documentation HotKey command and searched forums many times, but I just don't get it.
What I want to achieve is to be able to toggle some of the key binds using left alt.
Here is my code:

Code:

j::Left
l::Right

LAlt::
   HotKey, j, Toggle
   HotKey, l, Toggle
return

But with this I get nonexistent hotkey error.
Would appreciate some advice, thanks!

To toggle a hotkey with the Hotkey command, the hotkey has to be defined with the Hotkey command:

Code:

Hotkey, j, label_j
Hotkey, l, label_l
return

label_j:
Send, {Left}
return

label_l:
Send, {Right}
return

LAlt::
HotKey, j, Toggle
HotKey, l, Toggle
return

Thanks for clarification! But there is a problem - I can't use Send, because i need those keys to work in combination with other keys.

My other approach was this

Code:

mode := 0
LALt::
    if (mode = 0) {
         j::j
         k::k
         ...
    } else {
        j::Left
        k::Down
        ...
    }
    mode := !mode
return 

but I kept on getting 'duplicate hotkey' message.

I also tried making two simple scripts which would overwrite each other's key mappings, but that didn't work that smooth.

Use #If

Code:

mode := 0

LALt::
mode:=!mode
Return

#if (mode = 0)
j::j
k::k
#if

#if (mode = 1)
j::Left
k::Down
#if
