Making and Removing Hotkeys

Hooked attempts to simultaneously be easy to use, but powerful. The creation and destruction of hotkeys is where this is most apparent.

####Adding hotkeys

The basic way to make a hotkey is: hk.Hotkey(["RCtrl","W"],foobar) Note that in the above, hk is an instance of hook. The Hotkey function takes a list of keys (RCtrl+W) as the first argument. The second argument is a function. These are the required arguments. The id of the hotkey is returned (as an int).

The full, complex function in use: hk.Hotkey( ['LCtrl', [345,749], "Wheel"], foo, ("I am an arg",23) ) Okay, lets digest that. The "keys" used are more complex (I am counting a point as a "key"). Again, foo is a function that is referenced. The next argument is the arguments of foo that you want to pass when the hotkey is called. I chose a tuple as the way to pass args.

####Remove hotkeys

Removing hotkeys is as easy as adding them. Any of the following will remove the second hotkey from above.

hk.RemHotKey(1) #this removes the second hotkey (we start counting at 0 of course)
hk.RemHotKey(foo) #this removes based on the function
hk.RemHotKey(['LCtrl', [345,749], "Wheel"]) #or, of course, remove based on the key list.

That is it! You now know how to make functions work. How about learning the keys?
