AutoHotKey key SEQUENCE, not just single-key hotkey

I'm not stupid... really. How do you map a key SEQUENCE (ie: Ctrl + Q , F) in AutoHotKey.

I've got Ctrl + Q down:

^q::

I've even got F:

f::

The examples in the help files even show how to do two keystrokes in a row:

Numpad0 & Numpad1::

But it just will not work with:

^q & f ::

Or any of these either:

LCtrl & q & f::
^q & ^f::
^q^f::
^qf::

How do I accomplish a Key SEQUENCE triggering something, when one of those keys is the Ctrl key? I looked into using a HOTSTRING instead, but couldn't work out how to include the Ctrl character, in that context!

Solution

  • Alright; The answer seems to be:

    ^q::
Input Key, L1
if Key=f
...some code here...
