Win + Alt + left mouse button Topic is solved

[roysubs]

For tracing out a region of the screen for a snip, I have the following:

Code: Select all

~Alt & LButton::      ; Start tracing out the rectangle by holding Alt and the left mouse button
    MouseGetPos, Xi, Yi

This works fine, but using Alt + left mouse button is not ideal for me, since Notepad++ uses Alt + left mouse drag to block select. So, I would like to change the above to WinKey + Alt + left mouse button, but I can't do that:

Code: Select all

~Win & Alt & LButton::      ; Start tracing out the rectangle by holding Alt and the left mouse button

How can I define Win & Alt & LButton?

Here is an example.

Code: Select all

#!LButton::Send x

ok, great. I'm a bit confused though as to why the author of the screengrab code used ~Alt & LButton:: , why would he not just use !LButton ?

I do not know! There are certain differences-- see documentation-- but in most cases, when you can avoid &, it's better.
