Hi Eva,

I'm learning as you are, so had a go despite there being an app for this.  I thought I could use the alt keys in the script for this.  So, Alt+h+u+t gets me the translated status for example.  But I can't get the use of multiple keys to work correctly and always end up with the Alt keys activated in the ribbon and the letters ut in my segment.  In fact I've tested this so many times now I can remember the different Alt key shortcuts for them all and this works really well ;-)

Regards

Paul

Hi Paul,

I believe the solution to that is adding a KeyWait Ctrl line at the beginning of the script, if Ctrl is to be part of the hotkey, so something like this:

^#q::
KeyWait Ctrl
Send !h
Sleep 50
Sendinput u
Sleep 50
Sendinput t
Return

The explanation for this is in the following thread in the Autohotkey forum, which refers specifically to this issue in Studio: the Alt key not being sent on its own when the Control key is still being held down.

An alternative solution would be using a hotkey that doesn't use Control, then a regular script should work, I think
