Title: Help with Autohotkey
Post by: Zamorph on Tue, 19 April 2011, 21:41:31

Hey, I wanted to make a script to make it so right alt key is my modifier, B would increase my volume and N would decrease my volume.  Can anyone tell me how to do this? In addition, I have a normal dell keyboard with no volume controls already on it, if that mattered at all.

Thanks

Code: [Select]

!N::Send {Volume_Down}

!B::Send {Volume_Up}
! is the modifier for alt.

Just for the sake of it, heres what I use for the other media keys:

Code: [Select]

;next song
+Pause::Send {Media_Next}
return

;previous song
+PrintScreen::Send {Media_Prev}
return

;play/pause
+ScrollLock::Send {Media_Play_Pause}
return
+ is the symbol for shift, ^ for control. I think @ is for windows, but I'm not sure, because I've never used it.

The win-key character is #.

It's useful when you have a MX-11800 and want to emulate win-e, win-l and such :]

I found Autohotkey to be incredibly lame and buggy sometimes for simple remapping of anything past the ALPHA characters.   The rules for when you use "SEND" seem arbitrary.   Doesn't help that their forum seems filled with dweebs.

Yeah, I find it a bit buggy sometimes.  Do you have a different program to recommend? :)
