Hi,

I want to auto replace ":" key to "n" key (to "translate" a powerpoint remote control from english shortkey to french shortkey...)

I tried

Code:

:::n

-> has no effect

Code:

`:::n

-> script is in error Confused

Thanks for your help

Sorry, but

Code:

:::MsgBox You've pressed ":"

works fine, whereas

Code:

:::n

has no effect !!!!!

or u could try:

Code:

:::Gosub SwapIt

b::Gosub bye
Return

bye:
MsgBox % "You've pressed 'b' for bye"
ExitApp

SwapIt:
MsgBox % "You've pressed " . A_ThisHotkey
NewHotKey := (A_ThisHotkey = n) ? ":" : "n"
Hotkey, %A_ThisHotkey%, Off
Hotkey, %NewHotKey%, SwapIt
Return

the first : is the hotkey while the following 2 :: are the hotkey assignment operator:
so if you want to use R

R::SomeActions

use :

:::SomeActions

use n

n::SomeActions

and not ::n or even worse :::n

that's why ::: works just fine...

I agree. I want to have "n" each time I type ":"
So, the expression should be

Code:

:::n

As I said,

Code:

:::MsgBox You've pressed ":"

works fine. So

Code:

:::n

should be good to have a "n" for ":" hotkey ??

But this not works Mad

More strange: with

Code:

:::n

the result is to have an hotkey "*" with aotoreplce to ":" Mad

A pb with my french (azerty) keybord and Autohotkey ??

you must tell AHK what you wanna do... placing an "n" after the :: operator is not enough... I suggest you re-read carefully this
