NumpadSub		NumpadSub		Subtract
NumpadEnter		NumpadEnter		Enter key

[Function]
F1 - F24		The 12 or more function keys at the top of most keyboards.

[Modifier]
LWin			Left Windows logo key. Corresponds to the <# hotkey prefix.
RWin			Right Windows logo key. Corresponds to the ># hotkey prefix.
			Note: Unlike Control/Alt/Shift, there is no generic/neutral "Win" key because the OS does not support it.
			However, hotkeys with the # modifier can be triggered by either Win key.
Control (or Ctrl)	Control key. As a hotkey (Control::) it fires upon release unless it has the tilde prefix.
			Corresponds to the ^ hotkey prefix.
Alt			Alt key. As a hotkey (Alt::) it fires upon release unless it has the tilde prefix.
			Corresponds to the ! hotkey prefix.
Shift			Shift key. As a hotkey (Shift::) it fires upon release unless it has the tilde prefix.
			Corresponds to the + hotkey prefix.
LControl (or LCtrl)	Left Control key. Corresponds to the <^ hotkey prefix.
RControl (or RCtrl)	Right Control key. Corresponds to the >^ hotkey prefix.
LShift			Left Shift key. Corresponds to the <+ hotkey prefix.
RShift			Right Shift key. Corresponds to the >+ hotkey prefix.
LAlt			Left Alt key. Corresponds to the <! hotkey prefix.
RAlt			Right Alt key. Corresponds to the >! hotkey prefix.
			Note: If your keyboard layout has AltGr instead of RAlt, you can probably use it as a hotkey prefix via
			<^>! as described here. In addition, LControl & RAlt:: would make AltGr itself into a hotkey.

[Multimedia]
Browser_Back		Back
Browser_Forward		Forward
Browser_Refresh		Refresh
Browser_Stop		Stop
Browser_Search		Search
Browser_Favorites	Favorites
Browser_Home		Homepage
Volume_Mute		Mute the volume
Volume_Down		Lower the volume
Volume_Up		Increase the volume
Media_Next		Next Track
Media_Prev		Previous Track
Media_Stop		Stop
Media_Play_Pause	Play/Pause
Launch_Mail		Launch default e-mail program
Launch_Media		Launch default media player
Launch_App1		Launch My Computer
Launch_App2		Launch Calculator

Note: The function assigned to each of the keys listed above can be overridden by modifying the Windows registry. This table shows the default function of each key on most versions of Windows.

[Special]
AppsKey			Menu key. This is the key that invokes the right-click context menu.
PrintScreen		Print screen
CtrlBreak
Pause			Pause key
Break			Break key. Since this is synonymous with Pause, use ^CtrlBreak in hotkeys instead of ^Pause or ^Break.
Help			Help key. This probably doesn't exist on most keyboards. It's usually not the same as F1.
Sleep			Sleep key. Note that the sleep key on some keyboards might not work with this.
SCnnn			Specify for nnn the scan code of a key. Recognizes unusual keys not mentioned above.
			See Special Keys for details. https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/KeyList.htm#SpecialKeys
VKnn			Specify for nn the hexadecimal virtual key code of a key. This rarely-used method also prevents certain
			types of hotkeys from requiring the keyboard hook. For example, the following hotkey does not use the
			keyboard hook, but as a side-effect it is triggered by pressing either Home or NumpadHome:
			^VK24::MsgBox You pressed Home or NumpadHome while holding down Control.
			Known limitation: VK hotkeys that are forced to use the keyboard hook, such as *VK24 or ~VK24, will fire
			for only one of the keys, not both (e.g. NumpadHome but not Home). For more information about the VKnn
			method, see Special Keys.

JOYSTICK

Joy1 through Joy32: The buttons of the joystick. To help determine the button numbers for your joystick, use this test script. Note that hotkey prefix symbols such as ^ (control) and + (shift) are not supported (though GetKeyState can be used as a substitute). Also note that the pressing of joystick buttons always "passes through" to the active window if that window is designed to detect the pressing of joystick buttons.

Although the following Joystick control names cannot be used as hotkeys, they can be used with GetKeyState:
JoyX, JoyY, and JoyZ: The X (horizontal), Y (vertical), and Z (altitude/depth) axes of the joystick.
JoyR: The rudder or 4th axis of the joystick.
JoyU and JoyV: The 5th and 6th axes of the joystick.
JoyPOV: The point-of-view (hat) control.
JoyName: The name of the joystick or its driver.
JoyButtons: The number of buttons supported by the joystick (not always accurate).
JoyAxes: The number of axes supported by the joystick.
JoyInfo: Provides a string consisting of zero or more of the following letters to indicate the joystick's capabilities: Z (has Z axis), R (has R axis), U (has U axis), V (has V axis), P (has POV control), D (the POV control has a limited number of discrete/distinct settings), C (the POV control is continous/fine). Example string: ZRUVPD

Multiple Joysticks: If the computer has more than one joystick and you want to use one beyond the first, include the joystick number (max 16) in front of the control name. For example, 2joy1 is the second joystick's first button.

Note: If you have trouble getting a script to recognize your joystick, one person reported needing to specify a joystick number other than 1 even though only a single joystick was present. It is unclear how this situation arises or whether it is normal, but experimenting with the joystick number in the joystick test script can help determine if this applies to your system.

SPECIAL KEYS

If your keyboard or mouse has a key not listed above, you might still be able to make it a hotkey by using the following steps:

1.	Ensure that at least one script is running that is using the keyboard hook. You can tell if a script has the keyboard
	hook by opening its main window and selecting "View->Key history" from the menu bar.
2.	Double-click that script's tray icon to open its main window.
3.	Press one of the "mystery keys" on your keyboard.
4.	Select the menu item "View->Key history"
5.	Scroll down to the bottom of the page. Somewhere near the bottom are the key-down and key-up events for your key. NOTE:
	Some keys do not generate events and thus will not be visible here. If this is the case, you cannot directly make that
	particular key a hotkey because your keyboard driver or hardware handles it at a level too low for AutoHotkey to access.
	For possible solutions, see further below.
6.	If your key is detectible, make a note of the 3-digit hexadecimal value in the second column of the list (e.g. 159).
7.	To define this key as a hotkey, follow this example:
	SC159:: ; Replace 159 with your key's value.
	MsgBox, %A_ThisHotKey% was pressed.
	return

	Reverse direction: To remap some other key to become a "mystery key", follow this example:

	; Replace 159 with the value discovered above. Replace FF (if needed) with the
	; key's virtual key, which can be discovered in the first column of the Key History screen.
	#c::Send {vkFFsc159}

Alternate solutions: If your key or mouse button is not detectible by the Key History screen, one of the following might help:

1.	Reconfigure the software that came with your mouse or keyboard (sometimes accessible in the Control Panel or Start Menu)
	to have the "mystery key" send some other keystroke. Such a keystroke can then be defined as a hotkey in a script. For
	example, if you configure a mystery key to send Control+F1, you can then indirectly make that key as a hotkey by using
	^F1:: in a script.

2.	Try DllCall: Support for Human Interface Devices. You can also try searching the forum for a keyword like RawInput*.
	http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/topic6367.html .... http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/

3.	The following is a last resort and generally should be attempted only in desperation. This is because the chance of
	success is low and it may cause unwanted side-effects that are difficult to undo:
	Disable or remove any extra software that came with your keyboard or mouse or change its driver to a more standard one
	such as the one built into the OS. This assumes there is such a driver for your particular keyboard or mouse and that you
	can live without the features provided by its custom driver and software.
