How to use Arrow Key for MenuItem Hotkey
I want to use Alt + ↑ or Alt + ↓ .
&U
(Alt + U) works fine.
But
&UP
_UP
%#&UP
are not working.
And other special keys (e.g. PGUP) also not working.
cf. https://learn.unity.com/tutorial/editor-scripting#5c7f8528edbc2a002053b5f9
These are the supported keys (can also be combined together):
% – CTRL on Windows / CMD on OSX
# – Shift
& – Alt
LEFT/RIGHT/UP/DOWN – Arrow keys
F1…F2 – F keys
HOME, END, PGUP, PGDN
How can I try for using Alt + ↑/↓ ?

Alright so I'm trying to make a menu of quick shortcuts for a bunch of operations that are slightly less used, so I can never remember the shortcuts but the layer I use to switch ijkl to arrow keys doesn't respond in the menu. but my actual arrow keys work just fine for navigating the menu.
Menu Code:
OptionsMenu(){
Menu, MainMenu, Add
Menu, MainMenu, Add
Menu, MainMenu, deleteAll
Menu, MainMenu, Add, Google, menuGoogle
Menu, MainMenu, Add, Google with prefix, menuGoogle2
Menu, AppMenu, Add, Calculator, menuCalculator
Menu, MainMenu, Add, Apps, :AppMenu
Menu, MainMenu, Show
ControlFocus, MainMenu, menuGoogle, MainMenu
return
menuGoogle:
Google1()
return
menuGoogle2:
Google2(clip())
return
menuCalculator:
Run, Calc.exe
return
}
arrow key code:
RAlt::F13 #if GetKeyState("F13") { i:: Up j:: Left k:: Down l:: Right
return
}
if
My arrow key shortcut works everywhere else, so I'm pretty confused by this. Thanks for at least taking the time to read this post!
