Implementing sequence of two or more shortcuts Topic is solved

[AndrewKun]

Hey,

I'm trying to implement the following approach to launching frequently used apps/web sites in two steps:

1. I press some shortcut that enables jump state, e.g. Win+J
2. Then I press a specific key to run the command I need.

This works sort of like a lead key in vim.

I know I can do something like:

Code: Select all

jump_state := 0

#j:: jump_state := 1

$g::
    if (jump_state = 1) {
        run https://www.google.com
        jump_state := 0
    }
    else {
        Send, g
    }
    return

Which is very sub-optimal due to "g" key being evaluated every single press. Maybe there's a better way to do this?

Hallo,
try:

Code: Select all

jump_state := 0

#j:: jump_state := 1

#If jump_state
g::
run https://www.google.com
jump_state := 0
return
#If

Or perhaps:

Code: Select all

jump_state := 0

#j:: jump_state := 1

#If jump_state And jump_state-- ;see ShortCircuit
g::run https://www.google.com
a::run https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewforum.php?f=76
#If

This is perfect, thank you so much!

Now I have almost unlimited number of shortcuts without conflicting with Windows global shortcuts, and this approach also solves the conflict with other layouts.
