Is ^!7 a valid hotkey?

[kurtontheway]

Hi there,
I'm been setting up a hotkey(Ctrl + Alt + 7) to launch an app, and it just does not work. While Ctrl + Alt + [a-z] just works like a charm. So could someone tell me whether ^!7 is a valid hotkey in AutoHotkey? Thanks in advance!!

Sure it is!

Code: Select all

^!7::
MsgBox, It is a valid hotkey!
return

P.S.
I use a German keyboard layout.
What layout do you use? Does Ctrl+Alt+7 have a function for you?
For me it is {

Regards

Something to note is that this isn't the same as the numberpad numbers; it only will work with the number row. If you want to use the numberpad, it's ^!NumPad7::

Continuing on from what eelrod said:

Code: Select all

^!7::
^!Numpad7:: ;works when NumLock is on
^!NumpadHome:: ;works when NumLock is off
MsgBox, % A_ThisHotkey
return
