Khat, excellent tutorial, but Step 1 probably doesn't do what you think it does. It asks HotkeyNet to send "DoHotkey" to labels (to windows) but this is a meaningless request for HotkeyNet because windows can't execute hotkeys.

What does your Step 1 really do? It creates a loop, and inside that loop, it executes hotkey F9 four times. (SendLabel creates a loop if its called with multiple labels.)

I'm guessing that this is not what you're trying to do.

Like I always tell people -- this is the single most important piece of advice I can give HotkeyNet users -- load that hotkey and then examine it with "Show hotkey definition," which shows how HotkeyNet interprets the hotkey.

Also, I'm not sure why you think you need the extra hotkey. You say it's needed for If's but you can nest If's inside toggles.
