Two questions here. Can I have a series of letters do something. Say hold down alt and tap m and then tap s. Then also how to open a certain web page?
Thanks!

If someone knows the answer to Mikesnm's inquiry, please respond. I did read the manual, specifically the Hotkeys page and could not find the answer.

Thank you.

Check the index (in the ahk help file) on these topics:

Hotkeys - You probably already figured this out
Run - To open websites or documents
Variables - For knowing if the user has pressed the first hotkey.

For the mutliple hotkey thing, here's some simple code.

[Mikesnm]

I have read the manual several times as well, and before I post any question, I review it. I'm sure I miss a lot, a lot that I don't get- sorry. It's difficult for a layman. A lot of us are not programmers; just people who like this program, and see a forum called 'ask for help', and then ask. This is the second time I get some insinuation that I'm not trying to figure it out myself first. The last guy said RTFM- classy. If someone doesn't want to answer, then don't. It takes less time to just leave an answer if it's easy for you. I am learning with each response I get, and I'm really trying.

But thanks for the code you provided, I appreciate it.

hey Conquer
Your code works great! Thanks!

But
you mean they got Google in Canada even?

[NotLoggedIn-Conquer]

Lmao, yes there's google in Canada, America, and the UK.

Np, good to hear appreciation.

would this work (not tried):

[Mikesnm]

I get message: 'invalid hotkey'.

[Mikesnm]

cough.
anyone in socal knows why.

Conquer's code does the trick (even though it sends you to some wierd site up north).

Looks like you guys are thinking there's a really simple way to do it, but seems like those never work- being too logical and all.

Conquer thanks again.

If your plan was to make a script that only ran something if alt was held down, and then m and s were taped. Then conquers script has a small flaw, if you click alt + i, then do something else, then click alt + m it will launch. Dont know if this is a problem for you with you current hotkeys. If you dont want this you could either set a timedelay on alt + i, so that hotkey1 = false after 5-10 secs. Or could just make it reset if any other buttons were pushed.

Dont know if this matters to you at all

i repeat my suggestion on reading the help file
are you all saying you really cant figure out how to change conquerers url?
just change the url to any site you want

We're discussing the hotkey combo, not the URL.

What about if you've mapped Alt+M to do something already? Can you then map Alt+m+s to do something else, without having the Alt+M action fire as well?

[Mikesnm]

No. AHK will tell you you've assigned a duplicate key match and will terminate.
