Method keys.waitForHotkeys

Overload

Sets a temporary keyboard hook and waits for a hotkey.

public static int waitForHotkeys(Seconds timeout, KHotkey[] hotkeys, bool block = true, bool waitModReleased = false)

timeout (Seconds)

Timeout, seconds. Can be 0 (infinite), >0 (exception) or <0 (no exception). More info: Wait timeout.

hotkeys (KHotkey[])

One or more hotkeys. Examples: ["Ctrl+M"], ["Win+M", "Ctrl+Shift+Left"].

block (bool)

Make the key down event of the non-modifier key invisible to other apps. Default true.

waitModReleased (bool)

Also wait until hotkey modifier keys released.

int

1-based index of the element in the array of hotkeys. On timeout returns 0 (if timeout negative; else exception).

Uses keys.waitForKeys. Works even if the hotkey is used by Windows (except Win+L and Ctrl+Alt+Del) or an app as a hotkey or trigger.

Does not work when the active window has higher UAC integrity level than this process.

int i = keys.waitForHotkeys(-10, ["Win+Left", "Win+Right"]);
print.it(i);
