Hotkeys

A simple hotkey demo. This script has two inline hotkeys and one multi line hotkey. Activate them with "Shift+Space bar", "Control+Shift+Space bar" and "Alt+Shift+Space bar" respectively.

+space::msgbox, 64, For Your Information..., You hit Shift+space bar! ;*1
^+space::msgbox, 64, For Your Information..., You hit Control+Shift+space bar! ;*2

!+space:: ;*3
 {
   msgbox, 32, Riddle Me This...,
    ( ;*4
      I am the beginning of the end,
and the end of time and space.
I am essential to creation,
and I surround every place.
   
What am I?
    )
   msgbox, 64, Answer..., The letter e. End, timE, spacE, Every placE
 }
return

end::exitapp ;*5

/*
1 Shift+Space bar hotkey.
2 Control+Shift+Space bar hotkey.
3 Alt+Shift+Space bar multi line hotkey.
4 Begins continuation section. To manage large blocks of text.
5 Emergency shutdown.
*/

There is a third hotkey type involving something called a Hotkey Command. It is a little more complicated but also more flexible for certain applications.
