How you'd setup multiple key triggers for different tasks? Topic is solved

[irobot335]

Hi there, I'm looking to create a script that will allow you to press multiple keys to toggle activate a set of commands (press again to disable).

For example:

Pressing Ctrl+q (^q::) will make pressing the number keys 1,2,3,4,5 output "one","two","three","four","five" respectively.
If you pressed it again, these keys would function as normal keys.

Pressing Ctrl+e (^e::) will make pressing the number keys 1,2,3,4,5 output "six","seven","eight","nine","ten" respectively.
If you pressed it again, these keys would function as normal keys.


A shoddy example I whipped up

Code: Select all

//Task one
^q::
Suspend, Toggle
1:: Send "one" Return
2:: Send "two" Return
3:: Send "three" Return
4:: Send "four" Return
5:: Send "five" Return

//Task two
^e::
Suspend, Toggle
1:: Send "six" Return
2:: Send "seven" Return
3:: Send "eight" Return
4:: Send "nine" Return
5:: Send "ten" Return

I know this horrible pseudocode doesn't work AT ALL but hopefully it demonstrates my idea, any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Code: Select all

^q::
task1 := !task1
task2 := 0
return

^e::
task2 := !task2
task1 := 0
return

#if task1
1:: Send "one"
2:: Send "two"
3:: Send "three"
4:: Send "four"
5:: Send "five"
#If
	

#if task2
1:: Send "six"
2:: Send "seven"
3:: Send "eight"
4:: Send "nine"
5:: Send "ten"
#if

Code: Select all

^q::
task1 := !task1
task2 := 0
return

^e::
task2 := !task2
task1 := 0
return

#if task1
1:: Send "one"
2:: Send "two"
3:: Send "three"
4:: Send "four"
5:: Send "five"
#If
	

#if task2
1:: Send "six"
2:: Send "seven"
3:: Send "eight"
4:: Send "nine"
5:: Send "ten"
#if

Awesome! Thank you!

I hadn't even thought of using If statements, this is exactly what I was looking for, and i'm sure i'll be able to add extra modifiers easily too.

cheers

Also quick question, what designates the position of the return command? i.e, why is there a return under each of the hotkeys but not under the if statements?

Cheers

Return marks the end of the hotkey. #If is for context sensitive hotkeys, it enables the hotkeys if the conditions were met. #if without parameters marks the end of the conditional hotkeys.
