It is possible to do for example : RControl & F12::Goto, Label01,
but it isn't possible to do : LShift & LControl & F12::Goto, Label02, or <+LControl & F12::Goto, Label03,
witch give an error.
I know that the help says :

When you're using normal modifiers (shift/alt/win/ctrl), you can have more than one as in this example:
+^F12::MsgBox You pressed Shift-Ctrl-F12

Or, to do the left keys specifically:
<+<^F12::MsgBox You pressed LeftShift-LeftCtrl-F12

In other cases, you can usually expand it to do more than two keys by using GetKeyState as in this example:

I come back from work but I have my head elsewhere. I frogot to take the file where I wrote wy trys... I'll come back tomorow with news... I can say I seen some strange behaviours...

[Nemroth]

I come back with the result of my tests.
I must explain first that at the office I work on a Win NT4 rev 6 PC, essentially with a IBM/3270 Windows emulator from Attachmate, witch is called "Extra!" Vers 6.5 (there is a new version 8 witch is called MyExtra!, be we don't have it).
I have two little subroutines, one is called "keep" and do Ctrl-A then Ctrl-C to capture the screen of Extra! and then copy it in notepad. The subroutine "keepw" do the same, bu makes it's copy in Word...
For the results, I put "OK" when the result was ... OK, and "NO" when there was no result at all
Here are the results (sorry if it's too long) :

<+<^F12::Goto, keepw ; OK
<+>^F12::Goto, keepw ; NO
<+>^F11::Goto, keepw ; NO

<^F12::Goto, keep ; OK
>^F12::Goto, keepw ; NO

... The Right control key seems to not be handled...

F24::Goto, keepw ; NO
+F12::Goto, keepw ; OK

... I think F24 may work, but ... no

LShift & RCtrl:: ; NO
GetKeyState, State, F12
if State = D, Goto, keepw
return

... trying to hit 3 keys (with right contol) ... no way... (may be I don't do it well)

LShift & LCtrl:: ; OK
GetKeyState, State, F12
if State = D
Goto, keepw
return

we stay on the left, no problem

AppsKey & RWin:: ; AppsKey & RWin & F12 = launch Ct2f.exe !!!!! or send F12 alone !!!!
GetKeyState, State, F12
if State = D
Goto, keepw
return
#l::run, D:\...\Ct2f.exe

One of the more funy ones !!! the "#l" hotkey is launched (and no, I did't add the "return" afterwards....).

AppsKey & RWin:: ; OK
Goto, keepw
return

Twice keys on the right of the keyboard...

AppsKey & RWin:: ; NO
GetKeyState, State, F12
if State = D
Run notepad
return

Definitly don't like the right side of the ... keyboard ? I try to launch notepad (in this cas nothing special to do withe Extra!) with 3 keys (and right win) : nothing

AppsKey & LWin:: ; NO
GetKeyState, State, F12
if State = D
Run notepad
return

With 3 keys but LWin instead of RWin : no passaran !!!

AppsKey & RWin:: ; OK
Run notepad
return

AppsKey & LWin:: ; OK
Run notepad
return

With 2 keys, right or left, absolutely no problem

Et voilà, as the americans says !!!!

May be it was better to put this post in the bugs forum ????

I know it's a lot of information, Chris, but :
1) Is There a cure ?
2) Eventually witch one ?
3) Would it be ok if you implement (for the problem of 3 keys) what I asked for ?
4) Do you think it's a bug in the soft (AHK) or in the PC ?

Last but not the least, I use always the last version of AHK, so the 1.0.29.00 for the moment.

Thanks for your answer and your patience....

Sorry it's me again !!!

I read in the "Mouse button combination" topic"

I think multiple-key hotkeys are a logical improvement, Chris. If I can get an intuitive design, I'll add it to my list.
