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 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 hotkey was pressed
    echo -ag Ctrl + R was pressed

    ; Halt any AdiIRC hotkeys
    halt
  }
}

Creating new hotkeys¶

New hotkeys 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
}
