    #a::
    Send, {LAlt Down}{Numpad1}{Numpad3}{Numpad2}{LAlt Up}
    Return

    #o::
    Send, {LAlt Down}{Numpad1}{Numpad4}{Numpad8}{LAlt Up}
    Return

    #+a::
    Send, {LAlt Down}{Numpad0}{Numpad1}{Numpad9}{Numpad6}{LAlt Up}
    Return

    #+o::
    Send, {LAlt Down}{Numpad0}{Numpad2}{Numpad1}{Numpad4}{LAlt Up}
    Return
