You can customize keyboard shortcuts (or shortcut keys) by assigning them to a command, macro, font, style, or frequently used symbol. You can also remove keyboard shortcuts. You can assign or remove keyboard shortcuts by using a mouse or just the keyboard.
Yesterday, I was helping my friend set up their new computer and they asked me how to create custom keyboard shortcuts in Windows. They were telling me that with their low vision, it can be difficult to locate icons, and they wanted to be able to use their computer without a mouse whenever possible. I was happy to help, and within a few minutes we had created shortcuts for all of their favorite programs. Today, I will be sharing how and why to create custom keyboard shortcuts in Windows and how they can help people with low vision and blindness with opening their most-used programs. This post was developed using Windows 10.
Most Windows programs will support the creation of custom keyboard shortcuts, as long as the program is first pinned to the taskbar at the bottom of the screen. Here is how to create custom keyboard shortcuts in Windows:
Knowing how to create custom keyboard shortcuts in Windows has been incredibly helpful for me, as it allows me to be able to use my computer efficiently, no matter how poor my eyesight is. I highly recommend using custom keyboard shortcuts to open programs in Windows for people that have trouble locating programs on their screen, or who simply want to be more efficient.
Unlike the other prefix symbols, the tilde prefix is allowed to be present on some of a hotkey's variants but absent on others. However, if a tilde is applied to the prefix key of any custom combination which has not been turned off or suspended, it affects the behavior of that prefix key for all combinations.
[v1.1.14+]: If the tilde prefix is applied to a custom modifier key (prefix key) which is also used as its own hotkey, that hotkey will fire when the key is pressed instead of being delayed until the key is released. For example, the RButton hotkey above is fired as soon as the button is pressed. Prior to [v1.1.14] (or without the tilde prefix), it was fired when the button was released, but only if the RButton & C combination was not activated.
If the tilde prefix is applied only to the custom combination and not the non-combination hotkey, the key's native function will still be blocked. For example, in the script below, holding Menu will show the tooltip and will not trigger a context menu:
The $ prefix has no effect for mouse hotkeys, since they always use the mouse hook. It also has no effect for hotkeys which already require the keyboard hook, including any keyboard hotkeys with the tilde () or wildcard (*) modifiers, key-up hotkeys and custom combinations. To determine whether a particular hotkey uses the keyboard hook, use ListHotkeys.
A custom combination of two keys (including mouse but not controller buttons) can be defined by using " & " between them. Because they are intended for use with prefix keys that are not normally used as such, custom combinations have the following special behavior:
Fire on release: The presence of one of the above custom combination hotkeys causes the release of Numpad0 to perform the indicated action, but only if you did not press any other keys while Numpad0 was being held down. [v1.1.14+]: This behaviour can be avoided by applying the tilde prefix to either hotkey.
Keyboard hook: Custom combinations involving keyboard keys always use the keyboard hook, as do any hotkeys which use the prefix key as a suffix. For example, a & b:: causes ^a:: to always use the hook.
Overriding Explorer's hotkeys: Windows' built-in hotkeys such as Win+E (#e) and Win+R (#r) can be individually overridden simply by assigning them to an action in the script. See the override page for details.
Some of the most useful hotkeys for the mouse wheel involve alternate modes of scrolling a window's text. For example, the following pair of hotkeys scrolls horizontally instead of vertically when you turn the wheel while holding down the left Ctrl:
If the tilde () symbol is used with a prefix key even once, it changes the behavior of that prefix key for all combinations. For example, in both of the below hotkeys, the active window will receive all right-clicks even though only one of the definitions contains a tilde:
Finally, each script is quasi multi-threaded, which allows a new hotkey to be launched even when a previous hotkey subroutine is still running. For example, new hotkeys can be launched even while a message box is being displayed by the current hotkey.
To illustrate the above, the mouse wheel can be made into an entire substitute for Alt-tab. With the following hotkeys in effect, clicking the middle button displays the menu and turning the wheel navigates through it:
The main benefit of using a function is that local variables can be used, which avoids conflicts when two or more hotkeys use the same variable names for different purposes. It also encourages self-documenting hotkeys, like in the code above where the function name describes the hotkey.
Since WC3 is a bit older, some of the Hotkeys were ignored and left out from Customkeys so you have to use something like AutoHotkey for Inventory Items, its the same as Warkey but lets you swap ANY key, set the inventory item hotkeys so T= TownPortal G= Potion etc, also disables WinKey or Alt+QQ from closing game, and NumLock pauses the Script on/off for chat. *Read instructions carefully:
One of the most powerful features in Windows 10 is the ability to set up your own custom hotkeys. The OS is certainly known for customizations, making the user experience more personalized, like the ability to add new shortcuts in the context menu.
Using various hotkeys lets you start programs, load websites, and do many other tasks with a keystroke. There are several built-in keyboard shortcut options in Windows 10, and there are also powerful third-party tools that will give you access to more options.
You can do a lot more with extra third-party software. There are a few programs available for Windows 10, and some of those are free programs. WinHotKey is one of the packages you can use to set up customized Windows 10 keyboard shortcuts. Add it to Windows 10 from the WinHotKey Softpedia page. Click the DOWNLOAD NOW button there to save the setup wizard, and then open that to add WinHotKey to windows.
Another useful software package to set up customized hotkeys with is NirCmd, which is available for most Windows platforms. You can add the utility to Windows 10 from this NirSoft page. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click Download NirCmd or Download NirCmd 64-bit to save the file (depending on whether or not you are running the 64-bit version of Windows).
As you can see, Windows 10 features both in-house hotkey customizations, as well as third-party hotkey integration. The NirCmd and WinHotKey programs offer more keyboard shortcut options than Windows 10 does by default. With these hotkeys, you can open software, shut down the pc, restart Windows 10, adjust volume settings, and much more.
It would be fantastic to be able to customize our own hotkeys. Besides many other uses, my thought at the moment is if I can have a hotkey do steps 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 in a row automatically which I normally do consistently in many videos. Besides the many other uses of custom hotkeys

Is it possible to set up custom hotkeys in TOS? By that I don't mean choosing the button to press to sell for example. That you can easily to in the hotkey tab. What I am wondering is if it is possible to example set up a button to sell half of the stocks at 10 cents under bid. Like some more complex hotkeys. Would also appreciate suggestions regarding external sofware to use with TOS, in case that isn't possible in TOS.
Brushes are sort of a special case when it comes to hotkey assignment. The main modifier keys Shift, Ctrl, and Alt all have hard-coded functions related to Brush behavior, and may conflict with or break hotkey assignment. Alt is the safest to use with brushes and some quick tests here indicate no problems using it, but it would be my guess you have a problematic combination somewhere that breaks your hotkeys when you attempt to use it.
With brushes, I recommend following the documentation for Brush hotkey assignment and select them with the customizable letter combos from the Pop-up, or creating a custom pop up panel with a limited situational selection of brushes, and assigning the hotkeys to that panel rather than the brush.
I have seen a bunch of threads all over the internet for custom indicators and some providing an executable file that sets custom hotkeys for a few commands (which are changeable) but say I want to set a key for each time frame, a key for buy/sell, a key for chart shift, etc. Is there no way to do this without knowing how to code?
Even if this is not possible to change hotkeys through standard MT4 functions I belive that this is possible to develop the program which will allows you to set custom hotkeys for many MT4 functions. This can be implemented through WinAPI calls
I suppose to have a greater flexibility I could just create some batch or perl (or whatever) scripts and just create application shortcuts for those, but I was wondering if Windows offer the flexibility to add custom command shortcuts, maybe via the registry?
Tasklayout always helps me to open my favorite folders and applications with hotkeys. I have created additional layouts to lock current Windows session, to hibernate my workstation, etc. The point is: Tasklayout allow user to specify actual command line that should be executed when layout is restored. Thus, you can configure Tasklayout to run any commands with a shortcut.
