Autohotkey signout

1. I often leave my computer without logging out of chat or pausing my music, which is a problem a lot (chat messages while I am away).

   I need a keyboard combination* that signs me out of all accounts on Trillian Astra Pro, pauses MediaMonkey, and then locks my computer.

   *Extra credit: make it happen when I close my laptop screen.

   Thanks in advance,
   Matteo

2. Are you unable to simply lock the screen with Win+L natively built into Windows?

3. I can lock my computer with win+L, but I also want that to sign out of chat and pause my music.

4. I think this is just too obscure of a use case and really to do it well someone would need your exact set of software to test it. It's a great situation to learn how to use Autohotkey and it's macro recorder "AutoScriptWriter" would be able to get you awfully close.

   It's worth it and it's really not as hard as you might think to get to the point where you're functional:
