Toogle Shortcut - launch macros

[javier]

Hi,
I would like to make a macro with a single keyboard shortcut to run various macros.
The intention is to have 2 options and every time start a different macro.

And there was another option that is intended to run a macro or another depending on if you press once or if you press twice.

Can anyone help me?

Thank you very much

I'm not entirely sure I understand what you want to do. Perhaps you could clarify.

You can assign a hot key to a macro and then have that macro ask the user for information or make some decision based on some other context (e.g. which window is currently active) and then run a different macro or subroutine. So certainly you can have one hot key do different things depending on context or input.

But for more specifics perhaps you can clarify precisely what you want and we'll try to help.

Hi, sorry for my english.
I'll try to explain better.

They are two different macros:

macro 1
-Press once a shortcut, it displays the message 1.
-Press twice consecutive a shortcut, display message 2.

macro 2
-Press once a shortcut, it displays the message 1.
Saves the state in a register.
After a few seconds...
I'll be back, press once shortcut, displays message 2.

Thanks!

Javier, one way to do the second scenario, is write to an INI file

When script launches, use some logic similar to this...

Code: Select all

IfFileExists
  ReadIniFile for LastMessage
Else
  Use WriteLn to create INI file with Message1 (or some flag to indicate Message1)
  Set LastMessage = Message1
Endif
 
If LastMessage = Message1
  Show Message2
  EditIniFile to Message2
Else
  Show Messge1
  EditIniFile to Message1
Endif
