How to use the ScrollLock key as a modifier with AutoHotkey? Example:

ScrollLock + F1 : Launch software1.exe

ScrollLock + F2 : Launch software2.exe

ScrollLock + F3 : Launch software3.exe

etc.

I've already looked at this topic and Autohotkey use CapsLock key as modifier key but it seems specific to CapsLock.

This should work:

ScrollLock & F1:: Run notepad

ScrollLock & F2:: Run wordpad

ScrollLock & F3:: Run iexplore.exe

If you don't want ScrollLock to be turned on and off every time you use it in a hotkey definition, then you have two options:

The simplest way is to force the key to stay off permanently by adding

SetScrollLockState, AlwaysOff

in the auto-execute section (top of the script).

#NoEnv

#SingleInstance Force



SetScrollLockState, AlwaysOff



ScrollLock & F1:: Run notepad

ScrollLock & F2:: Run wordpad

ScrollLock & F3:: Run iexplore.exe

or you check its state every time you use it in a hotkey definition and restore this state after releasing it:

ScrollLock & F1::

    Run notepad

    If GetKeyState("ScrollLock","T")

        SetScrollLockState, On

    else

        SetScrollLockState, Off

return
