I'm trying to setup hotkeys for the arrow keys on the keyboard.

Scancodes for the arrow keys are 200,203,205,208

createHotKey 10,0,0,0,203
createHotKey 11,0,0,0,205

For right and left arrow keys, however does not work.

Anyone know why?

createHotKey doesn't use keycodes (the value returned by scancode() ) since these vary depending on the keyboard layout. Instead it uses the ASCII character value of a key.

I don't know whether or not there is an ASCII code for the arrow keys. If not, you'll need to handle the KEYDOWN gadget event.

Thanks Rob, capturing the main window as a gadget and then using the event data works fine.
