However, it looks like a number of single keys are still available. For instance, the numbers #1 - #5 are in use but the numbers #6 - #0 are not. So how would I use one of those, say #6, to be a hotkey for "Save Movement Cost"? That's excellent, I'm using it for a big DF'85 mod and it works great! Thanks so much, I usually play only the big scenarios and this will be a huge time saver! Appreciate it!

BTW, I've found that the Ctrl+[additional key] for hotkeys works fine, especially if the keys are near the Ctrl key--that's why I made "Move to Top" and "Move to Bottom" Ctrl + Z and Ctrl + X--I probably use them the most (along with Ctrl+A for Resolve Assault) and they are all right next to the Ctrl key. But the ahk file is super-easy to modify, as I've explained in my previous post, so players can do whatever they want.

OK guys...now that we have the hot key issue resolved what can we do to get the mouse scroll wheel to work? RE: Hot Key Assignment? - Ricky B - 09-14-2013 Mouse scroll to do what? On mine, it changes the view/zoom, I think, already. RE: Hot Key Assignment? - tbridges - 09-14-2013 (09-14-2013, 09:28 AM)Ricky B Wrote: Mouse scroll to do what?

RE: Hot Key Assignment? - Ricky B - 09-14-2013 ? I have never thought to even want that - it can only move it vertically, right? Although I suppose you could make a pushable wheel able to move horizontally with a push. Still seems slow compared to moving the mouse?

RE: Hot Key Assignment? - Ricky B - 09-14-2013 That makes sense for a trackball and is what the trackball is for. Now thinking about it from that perspective, I can see using the mouse scroll wheel to scroll the map up/down - or hold down and it scrolls horizontal. Similar to a document or spreadsheet window maybe. RE: Hot Key Assignment? - tbridges - 09-15-2013 [/quote] I actually use a trackball instead of a mouse, it works great. [/quote] Hey...a trackball is a great idea, thanks, that never occurred to me. I must have an old one around here somewhere, I'll give it a try. RE: Hot Key Assignment? - Joeyeti - 09-17-2013 Hi folks! As a freshman here (did not play much yet) I can only attest to the strengths of AutoHotKey and AutoIt! I use AutoIt scripts even at my work where they ease some tedious clicking between web-based tools. I am a self-learner by trial and error and online help and am eager to check these scripts out.
