Keyboard triggers (hotkeys)

To execute some code or run a script, can be used keyboard triggers (hotkeys). Examples: F9, Ctrl+K, Ctrl+Shift+Alt+H.

To add a trigger can be used snippet triggerSnippet or menu TT > New trigger. Add triggers in function HotkeyTriggers in file Hotkey triggers.

To open a triggers file for editing can be used the TT menu.

Click the Run button to apply changes after editing.

You'll find hotkey code examples in file Hotkey triggers.

Tips:

  • To get code for "run script" or "run/open file or URL" you can drag and drop scripts, files and links to the code editor.
  • To show hotkey info tools: let the text cursor be in the hotkey string. Then press Ctrl+Shift+Space, or invoke the Keys window from the Code menu or toolbar.
  • To quickly insert code Triggers.Of.Window(...), use the quick capturing hotkey (default Ctrl+Shift+Q).

Also triggers can be used in any script. For example in an .exe program that runs without the editor. Examples.
