The Input Function is very useful. Unfortunately, it only accepts keypresses which in turn generate a String of some sort. An InputANYKey function which accepts any single keypress like Control, Alt, Win, Up-Arrow etc. would be nice. Additionally, it would be useful if you could define hotkeys which are only composed of non-combos like Control, Alt, etc. e.g.

^::Send, foo

This is only a minor feature request. I haven't encountered any other showstopper limitations for my own little hotkey project.

Thanks a million for developing this GREAT utility!

I love my new Umlaut on US Keyboard Layout Convenience Script. Type any key which could become an Umlaut followed by a special UMLAUT key. Voila: Character on screen morphes into an Umlaut Smile

I plan to add an option to the Input command that transcribes invisible keys such as Esc and UpArrow into {Esc} and {Up}.

Assuming you are using XP/2k/NT, this can be done easily as in this example. I make heavy use of it myself:
RAlt::MsgBox You pressed the right Alt key.

See http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/HotkeyFeatures.htm for details.

You can also define combinations of modifier keys to be a hotkey, which is covered in the FAQ at http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/FAQ.htm
