Override built-in hotkeys¶

Starting with version 1.9.6, you can use the scripting event on KEYDOWN to override most of the built-in hotkeys.
Not all functions have a command, feel free to request one if you need it.

Example

; Setup a keydown keyval for character 'r', you can retrieve the keyval value from [[$keyval]]
on *:KEYDOWN:*:114:{

  ; Check if control key is pressed using bitwise comparison
  ; Control = 2
  ; Shift = 4
  ; Alt = 8
  if ($mouse.key & 2) {

    ; Echo the keybind was pressed
    echo -ag Ctrl + R was pressed

    ; Halt any AdiIRC keybinds
    halt
  }
}
