The goal is to test each thing as you put them in place.
That's really good advice, not just about HotkeyNet but every kind of programming.

Pretty often, people send me a 300-line script that they wrote before trying it, and ask why it doesn't work. Did they expect to create something that complicated in one fell swoop and have it turn out correctly? Or did they think it would be easy to find their errors in something that big?

People should start with a tiny script like you did -- only seven lines. Get it working. Add a few more lines. Get that working. Etc.

Programmers have a fancy name for this -- incremental development -- but it's really just common sense.
I used to do development work, so I am familiar with it. The biggest issue is taking over someone else code. My favorite was always...

<code>
Printout "You are HERE 11111111"
<code>
Printout "You are HERE 22222222"
<code>
Printout "Your mama sucks 3333333"

And I'd always forget to remove the your mama sucks line. Oh well.
