Turning off a hotkey while typing text?

[z01ks]

Hi! I have improved my workflow tremendously in Photoshop by assigning a lot of frequently used or otherwise complicated shortcuts to simpler shortcuts. For example, I have ALT+Shift+RClick mapped to Q with the help of Autohotkey. I really like this, BUT... Now I can not type the letter Q when naming layers or entering any text in the program.

Is there a way around it? Thanks.

Code: Select all

f1:: ;f1 will make your hotkeys active/inactive 
	toggle := !toggle
return
	
#if toggle
q::msgbox working

I have the same question and problem

Not with Photoshop but with another software..

I use this command

r::Send ^r

Now I can't type the letter r to rename something

i guess thats why its custom to create hotkeys that are not one letter use ^q or #q

Code: Select all

pause
return

Q::!+RButton
return

\::suspend

Pressing the \ key will toggle it on and off and, if you start the script with pause, it will start in an off state.
