AutoHotKey key SEQUENCE, not just single-key hotkey

I'm not stupid... really. How do you map a key SEQUENCE (ie: Ctrl + Q , F) in AutoHotKey.

I've got Ctrl + Q down:

^q::

I've even got F:

f::

The examples in the help files even show how to do two keystrokes in a row:

Numpad0 & Numpad1::

But it just will not work with:

^q & f ::

Or any of these either:

LCtrl & q & f::
^q & ^f::
^q^f::
^qf::

How do I accomplish a Key SEQUENCE triggering something, when one of those keys is the Ctrl key? I looked into using a HOTSTRING instead, but couldn't work out how to include the Ctrl character, in that context!

Alright; The answer seems to be:

^q::
Input Key, L1
if Key=f
...some code here...
return

This catches CTRL+F. If Q is held down at that moment, your code fires.

^f::
    If GetKeyState("q", "p") {
        MsgBox test
    } Else {
        Send ^f
    }
