I don’t see how you can say that. You already created a script that has hotkeys. This would be very similar to that because the suggestion was to add a hotkey, not change an existing one. So first, choose a key. Let’s say it’s the Tab key. So you would create a new line like the one you have for the Escape key. But you would replace esc with the new key name. And you would replace exitapp with the command you were shown that you would use. You can take it from here.

@kyubi85 was not the OP on this thread and didn't create the esc hotkey. Here ya go:

Code: Select all

\::
Random, frequency, 100, 3000
Random, afterKeyUp, 500, 3000
SetTimer, PressTheKey, %frequency%
PressTheKey:
SetKeyDelay, afterKeyUp, 500
Random, key,, 1        ; 0 or 1
Send % key ? "q" : "z" ; 0 -> z, 1 -> q
Return

Esc::SetTimer, PressTheKey, Off

You’re right. I missed that, but the answers were still there in direct response to his questions including the links to the documentation link, so I still would have preferred to see kyubi85 produce the line, especially after my last post that basically spelled it out.

I understand your point and don't necessarily disagree, however, it seems clear that @kyubi85 has virtually no coding experience (no disrespect to @kyubi85 intended). Remembering when I first discovered AHK, even with a lifetime of coding experience, the syntax was somewhat confusing. If one has absolutely no understanding of how programming works, but just needs to get something done, it can be daunting. I'm fully in favor of "teaching a person to fish", but sometimes you have to give them a few while they are learning.

Random, key,, 2        ; 0, 1 or 2
Switch key
{
    Case 0: Send u
    Case 1: Send i
    Case 2: Send o
}
Return

Esc::SetTimer, PressTheKey, Off

F10::ExitApp

Those are good points, and I agree. If I hadn’t mistakenly thought these questions were coming from the OP, I may have been more sensitive to that, so I will own up to the fact that I should have been better in that regard here. Thank you for pointing that out.
