h2. Override built-in shortcuts

*As of 2.9 shortcuts can be changed in [[Options Dialog|Options]] -> [[Shortcuts Options|Shortcuts]].*

Starting with version 1.9.6, you can use the scripting event [[on KEYDOWN]] to override most of the built-in shortcuts.
Not all functions have a [[Scripting Commands|command]], feel free to "request":https://dev.adiirc.com/projects/adiirc/issues/new one if you need it.

Can also be used to create new shortcuts.

*Example*

<pre>
; Setup a keydown keyval for character 'r', you can retrieve the keyval value from the $keyval identifier.
on *:KEYDOWN:*:114:{

  ; Check if control key is pressed using bitwise comparison
  ; Control = 2
  ; Shift = 4
  ; Alt = 8
  if ($mouse.key & 2) {
    
    ; Echo the shortcuts was pressed
    echo -ag Ctrl + R was pressed

    ; Halt any AdiIRC shortcuts
    halt
  }
}

; Getting a keyval for a key.
on *:KEYDOWN:*:*:{ echo -ag keyval for $keychar is $keyval }
</pre>

h2. Creating new shortcuts

*As of 2.9 new shortcuts can be added in [[Options Dialog|Options]] -> [[Shortcuts Options|Shortcuts]].*

New shortcuts can be created using the alias syntax and the F-keys.

F1-12 and any combination using alt/shift/control is allowed.

a - Alt.
s - Shift.
c - Control

*Example*

<pre>
alias aF3 {
  echo -ag I pressed ALT + F3
}

alias sF3 {
  echo -ag I pressed SHIFT + F3
}

alias cF3 {
  echo -ag I pressed CTRL + F3
}

alias caF3 {
  echo -ag I pressed CTRL + ALT + F3
}
</pre>
