Specifies the hotkey that is used with the hotkey trigger to launch the task.
Declaration
Dim Hotkey As Variant
Description
Set the Hotkey property to the hotkey to be used to launch the task when one of the triggers is the Hotkey trigger.
The Hotkey text must be specified in AutoMate’s “Send Keystrokes” format:
Modifier |
Character to Use |
ALT |
^ |
CTRL |
% |
SHIFT |
& |
For example, to use Ctrl-Alt H for a hotkey, the property should be set to %^H.
Remarks
Please note that the characters used to specify a hotkey are different than the characters used to send the specific key. In other words, in AutoMate and VBA “^c” will send CTRL + c. If you set the hotkey to “^c” it will be the key combination ALT + c.
