Shortcuts¶

Override built-in shortcuts¶

As of 2.9 shortcuts can be changed in 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 command, feel free to request one if you need it.

Can also be used to create new shortcuts.

Example

; 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 }

Creating new shortcuts¶

As of 2.9 new shortcuts can be added in 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

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
}
