Horizontal Shift Hotkey?

So perform the adjustment using the keyboard, then type whatever you did in the script. As you can see below, the first Send command selects the new resolution, and the second accepts the change when windows asks if you want to keep the new setting. This should get you started. I believe there is also an auto script generator that works much like recording a macro, but i haven't used it. Note that this may seem clumsy, but it's actually pretty fast and transparent when you get it working.



SetTitleMatchMode, 1
; Load Screen Resolution control panel
Run, "desk.cpl"
; Wait for the window to appear, with timeout of 5 seconds
WinWait, Screen Resolution, , 5
WinActivate
Send {Tab 2}{Enter}{Up}{Enter}{Tab 5}{Enter}
; Wait for the Display Settings window to appear and confirm settings
WinWait, Display Settings, , 5
WinActivate
Send {Left}{Enter}
}
