title: How can I mimic Visual Studio's "Ctrl-K, C" two-step macro behaviour using Autoit / Autohotkey?
body: <p>I'm trying to set up <a href="http://www.autohotkey.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">AutoHotkey</a> macros for some common tasks, and I want the hotkeys to mimic Visual Studio's "two-step shortcut" behaviour - i.e. pressing <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>-<kbd>K</kbd> will enable "macro mode"; within macro mode, pressing certain keys will run a macro and then disable 'macro mode', and any other key will just disable macro mode.</p>
  
  <p>Example - when typing a filename, I want to be able to insert today's date by tapping <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>-<kbd>K</kbd>, then pressing <kbd>D</kbd>.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone have a good example of a stateful AutoHotkey script that behaves like this?</p>
