I need help with keyboard shortcuts

[tosani]

How can execute with LeftMouseUpAction, keyboard shortcuts, like "ctrl+1"? Thanks

[jsmorley]

You will need to install AutoHotKey and create a script in that which you can call with the LeftMouseUpAction in Rainmeter.

Thank for your reply. The keyboard shrtcuts is already defined by programs (example : in dexpot, keyboard shortcut Alt+1 switch to desktop1). I want to use rainmeter LeftMouseUpAction, to switch the desktop. Excuse my English.

Yeah, the problem is that Rainmeter can't emulate keyboard strokes. You don't need AHK for defining the shortcuts, you need it to actually execute them.

You can also use nifty tool nircmd

and use it exactly like you want to:
!Execute ["\NirCmd.exe" sendkeypress ctrl+1]

You can also do more with this; change volume, execute power commands (shutdown, sleep, hibernate), move cursor, and many more!

Thank you very much, it worked perfectly with nircmd.
