 Forum: Scripts   Topic: Create new folder in Explorer like Win7 shortcut

Just for variation, here's one I've been using which, instead of doing a File > New > Folder in the menu, uses a dialog to ask for the folder name. After creating it, it puts the cursor focus on the new folder. Bit redundant perhaps but thought I'd post it anyway. It relies on "Display full pat...

I have the following script: !+^,::SendInput {SPACE}\+ ',' \+{SPACE} Which should (I think) output " + ',' + " (without the outer quotes). However the plus signs aren't appearing - they're coming out as blank spaces. I've tried "\+" and "{plus}" just...

If I remove the ~ then Windows doesn't ever receive a left-click at all, because the event is eaten by AHK. With the ~ in place, the left-click event works as normal. So I think I get the idea.. I need to make AHK pass the left-click as normal, but "eat" it only when it's combined with a r...

I've never been adverse to a bit of strange behaviour now and then, but this is of the confounding and puzzling sort. AHK has always worked perfectly well in Firefox, but since I upgraded to Firefox 3.5.x, I can't seem to get this script to work: ; Simulate middle click ~LButton & RButton::Mouse...

Thanks for this idea and to everyone who's expanded on it. I've gone another step further and this works very well for me. 1. It will only work if an Explorer window is the focus 2. It will only work if ":\" is found in the window title 3. It works if the path has "\" on the end ...

^x:: SendInput blahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblah send, {CTRL UP} Thanks, just tried that but it didn't release the keys. Not sure if it had any effect. What a pain.. there must be some way of stopping modifiers from staying down, it's such a basic thing. Output from the script occurs really ...

Though i do remember after using one of my past scripts that sent text in firefox, firefox started acting all funny. Like the mouse wheel would change text size and other buttons did weird things. Sounds like the CTRL key got stuck down. Unfortunately putting {ctrl up} etc. at the end of the script...

I have a problem where, if I release the modifier keys before a macro has finished running, they remain "held down", and I have to press them again to reset them. Any idea how to avoid this? Example: +^::SendInput blahblahblah If I release shift and/or ctrl before "blahblahblah" ...

Thanks jps.. in that case, I'll investigate it further here and see if anything else is causing the keys to stick. Might make a long macro in Textpad itself, and see if it's my version of TP that is the problem.

For reference, what vs of TP are you running? Mine is probably old, v4.5.

I dont know if this helps you diagnose the problem or not but I managed to send 3000 characters to textpad using sendinput without encountering your problem.It took several seconds for them all to be sent so I was definately releasing the keys in time. That's odd. Or this is odd. :) Did you have an...

Thanks Pekka, I'll keep that in mind. Would rather not use the clipboard, but it's a great idea.

Yes, same happens.

I used shift as an example because it's easy to visually tell what is being affected by a hotkey modifier versus {shift down} etc.
