I just started playing online and we use a system requiring many alerts. As I am essentially one-handed I wrote a bunch of Macros (Using AutoHotKey software). They work great in chat but not in an opened Alert Box. Suggestions or another approach where I can use .. say F1 to be 15-17, or 5+♥.

There exists the tool you are looking for : the BBOalert browser extension already used by hundreds worldwide. One of the features are user definable shortcuts (macros) you can invoke thru keystrokes or graphical buttons.

BBOalert is a sophisticated toolkit which aims to automate alerting. The basic feature of recording and replaying alerts is a great help. All you need to begin is to install the BBOalert extension and start playing normally. Every alerted bid is recorded and then when the identical auction occurs the recorded bid explanation is retrieved and sent to the opponents. But this feature is only the top of the iceberg.

BBOalert installation :

Firefox

Chrome

You are invited to join the BBOalert users on Facebook

There are many members playing complex system which require frequent alerts. I am convinced that you will meet there someone using a system similar to yours and who is willing to share his data with you. It can save you a lot time to encode your system.

Feel free to contact me by mail if you need help while setting up BBOalert.
