Hi.
Since Alt is often used as a modifier key, and enabling Alt + click to edit buttons makes you lose that modifier, would you consider adding a fully configurable "sequence" key option so both can coexist? So if I have that option checked and press the sequence key along with Alt+Click, it triggers button edit mode; if the sequence key isn’t pressed, Alt acts as a modifier instead.
Thanks.

Wouldn't it work just as well to create a hotkey that goes into Customize mode? You can push that and then double-click the thing you want to edit.
Alt + Click is convenient for reducing the number of actions you need to do, but if you're making it require an extra action so you can do it, it doesn't seem like it would save any time at that point.
I don’t think so. I just tried, and that approach doesn’t seem to work with menus, menu buttons, etc. Dynamic buttons might also affect target detection, since toolbars look different in Customize mode.
I imagine pressing an extra key would add roughly 100 milliseconds to the whole process.
I'm on boths side here. some times i want alt, others..., autohotkey is blocking the alt key on me.
and then... i have a one click hotkey to get into customize mode, F12, it my most used dopus hotkey. Prefs CUSTOMIZE=toolbars and Ctrl + F12 for backup & restore.
and then in my autohotkey script i have this gem... that accepts and closes the customise window with the same key, F12, even if its in the background, i don't have to mouse around to activate it or even the title bar add-in. This will apply changed and close the window even when its in the background. if i don't want to apply changes then i use the ✖️ in the title bar.
#IfWinExist Customize - Directory Opus
F12:: ;; if dope, click\accept "OK" to close Customize Window in Dopus. the ControlClick send a click to the window even if its in the background, without activating it.
ControlClick, OK, Customize - Directory Opus, , Left, 1, na
return
#IfWinExist ;; END Dopus Customize
Any possibility to make this a toggle?
Thanks very much for the key as it is. I have attached it to Shift+1 since it's any easy reach for the left hand, rarely used and I've used all the functions keys. I've been wanting such a thing for some time. Thanks!
well it kind of is a odd dual-toggle. the way its set up is Dopus handles opening the window with it own hotkey setting, in your case, shift+f1, then autohotkey only reacts #IFWinExist Customize - Directory Opus so only after dopus has opened the window will the hotkey then accept\close it which the matching hotkey.
if you have running ahk script i just changed the hotkey in this one to Shift + F1 for you here...
#IfWinExist Customize - Directory Opus
+F1:: ;; if dope, click\accept "OK" to close Customize Window in Dopus. the ControlClick send a click to the window even if its in the background, without activating it.
ControlClick, OK, Customize - Directory Opus, , Left, 1, na
return
#IfWinExist ;; END Dopus Customize
hmmm, where in the would are you @jinsight this ahk script is looking for "Customize - Directory Opus" in the window title, if this doesn't match it won't work.
Another approach:
i'm using XMBC (X-Mouse Button Control) for a couple of weeks now, which can be configured on a pro app basis (the two side buttons, normally for forward/backward).
They are configured now to push the respective key combinations for the two preference menues.
Thanks for changing the hot key from Shift+1 which is an exclamation point to Shift+F1 which has no binding in Opus.
I don't use a standard title bar instead putting a toolbar in the title bar so I had to change "Customize - Directory Opus" to "Customize"
Worked like a charm.
I also compiled it.
Thanks, again.
@jinsight
Ahk's modifier key symbol s are
+ = Shift
^ = Ctrl
# = Win
! = Alt
Thanks for this.
Your Ahk script is even better than I thought a button to turn off Customize would be. I use it all the time (too much configuring of Opus) and saves a lot of time.
I don't think too many people will find it in this forum post given the title of the post. OTOH, that way you won't get lots of requests for how to get it working.
Dopus does such a great job with it hot keys I have not had to create many via AHK. More often I. Have to exclude my own hotkeys from working in dopus as it does a better job.
Thou the few I have made are great. Maybe soon I'll clean up my IF Dopus.ahk file and post it.
Ur welcome. And yes way too much time in customize mode! 
. Which is why why it has its own single tap hotkey.
F9 - F12 are single taps keys for..
Folder option
File types
Prefs
Customize
The last three I use the same key via AHK to also close the window without mousing around for it.
Valid points!
In the next beta, we'll add a way to do this. Documented here, but won't work until the new version is out:
Looking forward to your IF Dopus.ahk file.
