# This script demonstrates the usage of hotkeys.

import idaapi
def foo():
print "Hotkey activated!"
# IDA binds hotkeys to IDC functions so a trampoline IDC function
# must be created
idaapi.CompileLine('static key_2() { RunPythonStatement("foo()"); }')
# Add the hotkey
AddHotkey("2", 'key_2')
# Press 2 to activate foo()
# The hotkey can be removed with
# DelHotkey('2')
