Seems #{Tab} is special combination and is working no matter what.

Anyways, seems I found a solution(although not perfect one).

LWin & r:: Send #r
LWin Up:: MsgBox DoSomething

The only downside of it is that it's not universal. So everytime I would need a new key, I would have to make a new "case" for it, like I don't know...
LWin & d:: Send #d

I guess it's good for now. Maybe someone could point me out how I can make it a universal case, and instead of LWin & r, it will take all the keys that follow after LWin.

Use the ~ Modifier?

But that doesn't override the original action as far as I'm concerned.

What I needed was to override the Key action, but let pass all combinations that goes with that key..

here's the deal. the word "override" means just that it means you block the key from firing. in that event you have to handle in your script any combinations that may result from using that key. since the windows key is essentially a modifier like shift or alt or control. you will need to provide for any combinations you may want to "re-enable" by adding those conditions in the section that overrides the windows key. One way you might do that is to do a prelim check on the windows key. An example of how that might be done is shown below...

You would have to figure out which combinations you'd want to handle and include them in your script. the ones that aren't specified would be effectively disabled except for those which are overridden by the Operating System itself. Disabling modifiers can get a bit messy as you can see.

girlgamer, thanks for another reply of yours!


Well... , don't want to be annoying here, but override means override, not "block" Override usually in programming languages(java, c# etc) means, you don't want it to do something it was doing originaly and you want to alter that action and do something else(although it might not, you might override it and do the same thing it did before).


Thanks for that!

Seems there was a reason why I couldn't figure out how to do it in a more elegant, clever way

In my script, http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=77448, I handled it just like you described:



Good thing is, I don't use any win key combinations, except for ocasional #r, so my job was very quick here

cheers

Hey guys, got another question. I searched for it, but it seems it was not asnwered on the forum, at least from the tittle search I did.

Is it possible to get the width of the folder sidebar?

cheers

You mean the width of the taskbar (sidebar)?
That & a whole bunch of other settings, are stored as a SINGLE BINARY value (:() in a registry key. Maybe some Windows expert (on some windows forum) might know how to extract that value? (been wanting that info myself!)

When you say 'sidebar' do you mean the treeview or common taks sidebar of and explorer window
