Windows "Double-Shortcuts" for batch scripts

In Windows we can create a shortcut for any batch script and assign a shortcut for it. (Right-Click on shortcut->Properties->Shortcut key)

How can I assign a double-shortcut for a shortcut like this? For example Ctrl+Alt+J, Ctrl+Alt+K. When I press Ctrl+Alt+J and Ctrl+Alt+K in a sequential order I want the batch script to execute.

Is this possible in Windows? If this method doesn't work, is there any other method this can be achieved through?

You can also use the SHIFT key which will give you more combinations of keys.

  • CTRL+ALT+key
  • CTRL+SHIFT+key
  • CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+key
  • SHIFT+ALT+key

No, assigning a combination of hotkeys is impossible. Windows shortcuts are essentially stored IShellLink objects. The object's GetHotKey() documentation shows that only a single hotkey can be used.

Perhaps you could try AutoHotKey. Although I have no experience with it, AHK is usually the solution for such things.
