Hotkeys are pretty useless in mIRC. I only know that because I made a DLL to have them. Alt + <a-z> is pretty much owned by mIRC. ctrl + [lots of a-z] are global window hotkeys (ctrl+c = copy, etc)
That leaves you with hardly any, except shift. Of course if you use shift you then cannot capitalize them without faking some keybd_event()'s and that's just annoying ....
I can see why only fkeys are allowed to be use by us because there's not much else to be used.
