I have a shortcut key (ctrl-alt-shift+<) that performs an action
I have another shortcut key (ctrl-alt-shift+>) that performs another action.

I want these actions to be performed at the same time, so I want both shortcuts to be executed when I press ctrl-alt-shift+a, so I want something like:

^+!A::^+!<, ^+!<

but obviously that's wrong... Any help?

Do you want them doen simultaneously or one after the other?

Some code would help.

Does this work for you?

One after the other, I'm not sure what you mean by 'some code would help'.

This is why I need it:

I use Firefox as my browser and with Adblock Plus (hides ads/regions I specify) + Stylish (a Firefox extension for user stylesheets), so this means that some websites look completely different when I view them and this is great.

There are times however, when I want them to look default so I want to disable Adblock (Ctrl-alt-shift+>) and Stylish (Ctrl-Alt-Shift+<) at the same time. Now I want to press a single shortcut key combination rather than the two that I currently have.

There are a bunch of ways to structure it, here's another one:

There must be something integral here that I'm not understanding, why must i have a message box in my script?

How about this, is there something fundamentally (or "not advised") about this method:

I totally read your first post wrong, glad you got it figured out.

You may need to put a Sleep between the calls to A() and B() if you find the application can't keep up.

Thanks entropic, a lot for your help - you pushed me in the right direction. I will use the Sleep if I note it can't keep up - which it may, but has not yet.

I'm having a difficult timing trying to use F5 (refresh).

Essentially, I want the 2 aforementioned keys to work and then the browser page to be refreshed (F5). Of course SendInput F5 actually sends the letters F and then 5...

Something tells me this should be a lot easier that what I thought about it.

No problem, to get F5 to work try this:

Just got that about 5 seconds before I read your post! I guess RTFM can help Smile

Now my complete script is the following, at what it does for my Firefox config is -

- disables Adblock Plus (ctrl+alt+shift+<)
- disables Stylish Styles (ctrl+alt+shift+>)
- refreshes the page (unfortunately I have to refresh to make some of the Adblock'ed stuff to be visible).
