Get the pop up of vista calendar by single keystroke


Yes, that’s true and quite simple as well. You can get the popup windows vista calendar using the keyboard and by just assigning it a single keystroke.

Press Win+B, then Left, then Enter just to get a pop up of the calendar through keyboard. We know it’s a long procedure. Don’t worry, we have a shortcut for this as well. We can assign this to a single hotkey script (any one of them from F1 to F12).

AutoHotkey Script

To use this feature, you have to install AutoHotkey. What we will do is assign F4 key to send keystrokes instead of having them to do it manually.  Now in order to do that, create a new file names calendar.ahk and then paste the following code in it.

    

#InstallKeybdHook
#Persistent
#HotkeyInterval,100
SetKeyDelay, -1

f4::
{
send, {lwin down}b{lwin up}
sleep 10
send, {left}
sleep 10
send, {enter}
Return
}

Now save the file and double click it to launch it.

Now By pressing F4 only you can get the pop up of calendar. If you want to close the script out, there's an icon in the system tray.
