Hi Forum,

I'd like to trigger a certain hotkey action when any key is pressed (letters and numbers only would actually suffice).

Is there an easy way to do this (in the meantime), or does it still require a rather complex loop, as I've learned from several older posts on a similar subject?

Thanks already,

David.P

You could probably bump the following topic:

WOW -- but...

this is way beyond my intellectual capabilites

I've searched that entire thread for words like "input", "keyboard" and "any key", but nothing that made sense to me hit my visual cortex

Maybe someone with better understanding of that thread can point me to the right posting number...?

Thanks David

Cheers David.

Thanks -- but I don't want the script to WAIT for the user to press any key.

I need the script to "do something" every time any key is pressed -- but only in the background.

At the same time, the computer must be usable just normally.

For example "beep on any key".

Greetings David.P

not sure, tried write to editor , maybe use controlsend ....

[David.P]

Yeah, works with most keys, even capital letters, but not with Strg+[Key] nor with function keys.

(The latter don't have to beep -- but I need them to work normally).

Actually, what I need to do is

You can use Input in a Loop:

Thanks but as said already, it is not about WAITING for any key, the problem is - simply put - just like:

Did you try the code I posted? Earlier you said:
