Use \ or Eject key to delete

[w_i_k_i_d]

Hello AHK2.0 forum,

Two questions plz.

1. How can i use '\' key to delete a selected file.
(I only use this to type C:\path and not very often)

2. How can i use 'Eject' key to delete a selected file.
(Definitely not using any cd's anytime soon)

I know why not just press the DEL key in the mid to delete files,
With the setup i have this DEL key works more like Backspace. Press DEL in win folder takes me to previous folder. No idea why.
So i desperately need a 1 click del key instead of Fn + Del (which works but its 2 hand job)

Thanks

Ideas are below.

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0
$\::Send '{Del}'
^\::Send '\'

You could see whether Eject has a scan code.

Yes, you can change the hotkey.

I am skeptical that you can work with the eject button directly, but I do not have a way to test that.
