Change the activation from win+a to F9+w?

[june]

Hello.
I have found working wallpaper changer script which activates with win+a but I want to change it to F9+w

The script is this one

Code: Select all

; Initial Preferences

#SingleInstance Force
#NoEnv 
SendMode Input 
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%

; Few global variables

IniFile = %A_ScriptDir%\wpchange.ini
TempWallpaper = %A_MyDocuments%\currentwallpaper.jpg

IniRead, WallPaperFolder, %IniFile%, Settings, WPFolder, NOT_SET ;  Read settings from IniFile

If WallPaperFolder = NOT_SET ; If there is no IniFile, or it's set for Reset
{
 FileSelectFolder, SetFolder, , 3 ; Show a folder for the wallpapers
 if SetFolder =
 {
  MsgBox, You didn't select a folder, the program will now close. ; We can't function without a folder, if the user didn't select one, exit.
  ExitApp
 }
 else
 {
  SetFolder := RegExReplace(SetFolder, "\\$")  ; Removes the trailing backslash, if present. 
  WallPaperFolder = %SetFolder%\ ; We need the trailing backslash for our purposes, but removing it first eliminates the possibility of dual slashes.
  IniWrite, %WallPaperFolder%, %IniFile%, Settings, WPFolder ; Now that we have all the settings, write them to IniFile so we don't need to ask them again at relaunch
  MsgBox Setting saved. To reset, choose the "Reset Folder" item from tray or delete file %IniFile%.`n`nYou can now change your wallpaper at will by pressing "Win+A". The program will select a random image from the folder you provided and set it as your wallpaper.
 }
} 

RefreshWPs()
{
 Global
 ArrayCount=0
 Loop, %WallPaperFolder%*.jpg ; check all jpg images in the WallpaperFolder
 {
 ArrayCount+=1
 Array%ArrayCount% := A_LoopFileName ; Make an array of all the available filenames
 }
}

ChangeWP() 
{

/ btw I think it`s the last one from here https://www.autohotkey.com/board/topic/43918-randomly-change-your-wallpaper-on-cue/ but looks like some things have been cut off./

Interesting. It works.
But what I was planning was to use the combo as a macro in my mouse software (mionix naos qg) which can`t accept the win button for some reason.
So now with f9 it was able to save it and run it but the result is invoking windows start menu?
If I use the keyboard the command is working as expected. Any ideas what may be the problem?

I did not try your script, but this might help you. https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/v1/lib/_MenuMaskKey.htm

I found the problem. I had to update my mouse software to the latest version. Now it works fine even with the default win+a.

Thanks for the help though!
