I would like to point out that this udf has problems on a non-English Windows operating systems. the problem is that the "supported keys" are localized on non-English versions of Windows. (strange but true). In fact, for example, the following list contains a list of some of the "codes" of special keys returned by Italian windows version.

so you have to take this into account when you pass the first parameter to the function HotStringSet()

English     Italian
----------------------------
{CAPSLOCK}  {BLOC MAIUS}
{SHIFT}     {MAIUSC}
{Left Windows}  {WINDOWS SINISTRO}
{SPACE}     {BARRA SPAZIATRICE}
{Application}   {APPLICAZIONE}
{Right Ctrl}    {CTRL (DESTRA)}
{LEFT}      {Freccia SINISTRA}

If you set HotStringSetDebug(true) in your script and run your script from SciTe, you can see in the console output exactly what the library thinks it is receiving in terms of codes. If there are any special characters not being recognized, copy whatever is printed in the console to your HotStringSet function.
