How could I assign two different actions to a single hotkey in a script?

ex: Press F1 and have some hotkeys actions
Press F2 and have other actions with the "same" hotkeys

For instance:
F1 --> Numpad4::MouseMove, -3, 0, 0, R ;in a first routine
F2 --> Numpad4::MouseMove, -30, 0, 0, R; in a second one

I have a result with different scripts wich goes on&off but it's not "satisfying".
Can't we modify a hotkey in a script ? Please...

Thanks by now.

Yes, you can modify the contents of a hotkey. First you need to create and label your subroutines (segments of code):



Now, assign your default action by placing the hotkey label:



Now, you can make F1 and F2 change the hotkey's action:



You could also make it so that holding down F2 and pressing it would do the different one.

But it seems to me that what you're trying to do is make the numpad into a mouse. Before you bust any more brain cells, you might want to check out this excellent script that's already been written to do just that:

Hi Jony!

I think you resolved my prob.

I don't actually remap a mouse but create an adaptating "pad" in a game.
Using DEL, END, PGDN, alternatively, i want 3 pads in one for each sequencies of the game, a sim airplane. ( 3x9 commands...and more)

Congratulation for your help!
(& sorry for Shakespeare...)

But...

How can i combine several keys with F1 or F2?

---------------------------------------------------------
Numpad4:: ;Left
Move1: ;Slow
MouseMove, -3, 0, 0, R
Return

Move2: ;Fast
MouseMove, -30, 0, 0, R
Return

Numpad6:: ;Right
Move3: ;Slow
MouseMove, 3, 0, 0, R
Return

Move4: ;Fast
MouseMove, 30, 0, 0, R
Return

; Slow Mode
F1::
Hotkey, Numpad4, Move1
Hotkey, Numpad6, Move3

; Fast Mode
F2::
Hotkey, Numpad4, Move2
Hotkey, Numpad6, Move4

return
-------------------------------------------------

In my test, i just have 2 buttons , 2 modes;
and i get stick on the second one...
It begins on the slow mode but stay on the Fast. It doesn't toggle.

...jony?

your hotkey for switching to slow mode doesn't have a return statement, so it's "falling through" to your fast mode hotkey.

Ya, sorry, I forgot to clarify... If a hotkey label has only one line, and it's on the same one as the label, it automatically returns.
