Modifying Skrommel's Accents script

[Zatheos]

Hi, I'm looking to modify the script linked here: http www.dcmembers.com /skrommel/download/accents/

Accents.ahk

Skrommel's Accents Script

(5.06 KiB) Downloaded 44 times

Currently it triggers if you press the trigger key three times or more, but I want it to trigger instead when you press alt+ the hotkey. e.g. alt + a gives access to the åäâàá characters. I want to keep the repetitions scrolling through the options and the config file (accents.ini) etc. I just want to change the trigger, but I don't understand the source code well enough.
Here the main body of the code:

I think I understand some of it but not enough to know where to make the change to the hotkey. Any tips would be hugely appreciated.
