Easy access to multiple hotkeys
Posted: 24 Jun 2021, 05:57
Meanwhile I have quite some hotkeys or shortcuts to
1. phrases and text snippets in two languages for sentences or paragraphs which are used repeatedly
2. functions
These sum up to a total amount of 350. Since it is impossible to remember 350 shortcuts/hotkeys, I am looking for a solution how to access some of them (about 30) easily.
Some simple examples:
::ENgreet4::Your assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated and I look forward to your soonest reply
::ENrf::Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
::bra::Best regards{Enter}{Enter}Alex
I thought, using the <CTRL> and <Mouse right klick> opening a menu (eventually with sub-menu(s) for languages, functions) would be an option.
Access the right mouse button is easy but how can I generate a menu showing a short description of the hotkey and execute the hotkey if I klick on it.
I would like to have my "EasyAccess" Menu somehow like this:
EasyAccessSetup:
Menu, EasyAccess, Add, Greetings, Sendkeys ENgreet4
Menu, EasyAccess, Add, Contact us for questions, Sendkeys ENrf
Menu, EasyAccess, Add, Best regards, Sendkeys bra
^RButton::
Menu, EasyAccess, Show
But that does not work. Surely because I did not understand how
- to properly generate a menu
- to call a shortcut defined in one AHK script from another AHK script.
Could you please help me? Thank you and best regards
