 Posted: Wed Jul 29, 2009 6:16 pm Post subject: How do I create a hotkey using 3 keys? |
 |
|
I apologize if this is a totally noob question, but what I wanted to setup is a way to use numbered Hotkeys, for a range of tasks from 0-100.
For task# 43, I want to use a hotkey of Alt plus #4, plus #3, so that I can easily associate the task with the right macro. (using the upper Number keys or the Numpad).
Can anyone assist? |

I don' t think that you can use multiple keys to launch the hot key, but you might be able to do it like this:
| Code: |
::43::!a
::44::!b
!a::
send,1{enter};you would enter whatever you would want Autohotkey to do
return
!b::
send,2{enter}};you would enter whatever you would want Autohotkey to do
return
|
In this way, the string replace (43 or 44 in the sequence above), would launch the desired shortkey. You would probably want to put in an IFWinActive statement to keep this from happening if the desired window is not active. |

| Code: | ~4 & 3::
GetKeyState, OutputVar, alt
if OutputVar = D
msgbox, 3 keys are pressed
return |

This is uneccesary. You could just use the string replace to execute the !a thread.

|

I initially thought this was a trivial problem, but later realised it wasn't so straightforward.
It is actually a variation of the "stop repeating action without exiting the script" problem as mentioned in the FAQ:
http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/FAQ.htm#repeat
At some point, for example, you may want to press Alt-11 or Alt-33, which is actually Alt-1 twice in a row, or Alt-3 twice in a row.
With that in mind, I've modified the FAQ script to handle all double-press alt combinations for 2, 3, and 4. Launch the script, and try pressing Alt-42, Alt-23, Alt-33, etc.
Unfortunately, this is an "exponential" solution, so if you want to handle all 10 digits, the script will have be much longer.

Here is my quick solution. Tested and it works:
| Code: | SendMode, Input
#NoEnv
#4::
KeyWait, 3, DT3
If ErrorLevel = 0
GoSub, Hotkey_Win_4_3
Return
#3::
KeyWait, 4, DT3
If ErrorLevel = 0
GoSub, Hotkey_Win_4_3
Return
Hotkey_Win_4_3:
Send, Hotkey_Win_4_3
Return |
May be it is possible to make a function to create dynamically these hotkeys. |

This requires some more work but I suspect Input might be of use here | Code: | Loop, 99
MatchList .= A_Index ","
Input, OutputVar, L2, , MatchList
Gosub, Label%OutputVar%
Return
Label12:
MsgBox 12
Return
Label25:
MsgBox 25
Return |
Run script type 12 or 25 (others will give error)
It only works with 2 digits unless you introduce EndChars? (like space or alt UP?)
Now what needs to be added is a check that the input will only "listen" for digits when the ALT is pressed down but I leave that for someone else to solve.
