Post subject: New Version of Pidgin not friendly with AutoHotKey

Posted: March 6th, 2008, 1:11 am

I updated my Pidgin to version 2.4.0 [previous was 2.3.1] and one of my scripts refused to work. When I clicked WIN + Z, the buddy list used to pop up, but now I get an error message saying "An instance of Pidgin is already running."

This is the code that used to work

Code:

 

#z::
;----Pidgin buddy List Show/Hide
IfWinActive Buddy List
{
WinClose Buddy List
} else {
Run "C:\Program Files\Pidgin\Pidgin.exe"
}
Return

Plus, any other hotkeys for Pidgin that you guys are using would be great to show off here.

When I used Pidgin 2.3.1, the script worked when it was in the tray, but now with your script, nothing seems to happen. I'm on a laptop using Vista, do the scroll function is unnecessary.

I got the Pidgin Buddy List window to show up, but it is all blank when I use this code

Code:

#Z::
{
    SetTitleMatchMode,2
    DetectHiddenWindows, on
    IfWinActive, Buddy List
    {
        WinClose, Buddy List
    }
    Else
    {
        IfWinNotExist, Buddy List
            Winshow
        Else
        {
            DetectHiddenWindows, On
            IfWinExist, ahk_class gdkWindowToplevel
            {
                WinShow
                WinActivate
            }
        }
    }
}

Just an edited version of the other code.
help =/

I cant get a script to show the Buddy List either. I tried different postmessage etc. I get it to flimmer and show a split second, but then it dissappears again.
I dont have a solution to get it work in AHK, but there is a plugin that will let you toggle the Buddy List (and a couple other hotkeys). You can find it here:
http://pidgin-hotkeys.sourceforge.net/

Gtk applications don't respond the same way Windows does. I tried to automate pidgin before, sadly my attempts were unsuccessful.

GTK + AutoHotKey = Not play nice.
Sorry I didn't see this before, its easy to fix once you know that. Its best to just send a hotkey to Pidgin and have it show/hide its own windows.

You need this:
http://pidgin-hotkeys.sourceforge.net/

And I setup a wierd key I would never use for the plugin:
CTRL + ALT + SHIFT + NumSubtract

And then set up what I want (which changes time to time) with AutoHotKey.

Code:

;Show/Hide by send hotkey to Pidgin (right side)ALT+SPACE
>!Space::^!+NumpadSub

Oh, and the WIN+Scrollwheel instance switcher as above I use this instead:

It works with all applications, like OSX

I've the following script running to make it easy for me to type German on an English keyboard:

Code:

^!a::ä
^!o::ö
^!u::ü
^!s::ß
^!A::Ä
^!O::Ö
^!U::Ü

However, of course, it doesn't work inside Pidgin windows. Anyway to fix this?

See this article (in german), in particular the "Update (2009-05-17)" section (contains link to a script).

P.S.
According AHK Help, section "General Remarks", the German umlauts can be sent by AHK on US / EU-Western code-page, but there are problems with other Unicode chars. For that reason I'm using Lexikos' [url]AutoHotkey_L[/url] custom build, and the script below:

Code:

$^!s::  SendUnicode( "0219" )  ; ș
$^!+s:: SendUnicode( "0218" )  ; Ș
$^!t::  SendUnicode( "021B" )  ; ț
$^!+t:: SendUnicode( "021A" )  ; Ț
; …

$!+Left::  SendUnicode( "2190" )  ; ←
$!+Up::    SendUnicode( "2191" )  ; ↑
$!+Right:: SendUnicode( "2192" )  ; →
$!+Down::  SendUnicode( "2193" )  ; ↓

$!+>:: SendUnicode( "2265" )  ; ≥
$!+<:: SendUnicode( "2264" )  ; ≤
; …

SendUnicode( UniHex )
{
  ; difference between GTK+ applications and all other Windows applications
  IfWinActive ahk_class gdkWindowToplevel
    SendInput, {Ctrl down}{Shift down}u%UniHex%{Space}{Shift up}{Ctrl up}
  Else
    SendInput, {U+%UniHex%}
}

This one is better (you don't need to know the hex-code of the chars):

Code:

$^!s::  SendUnicode( "ș" )
$^!+s:: SendUnicode( "Ș" )
$^!t::  SendUnicode( "ț" )
$^!+t:: SendUnicode( "Ț" )
; …

$!+Left::  SendUnicode( "←" )
$!+Up::    SendUnicode( "↑" )
$!+Right:: SendUnicode( "→" )
$!+Down::  SendUnicode( "↓" )

$!+>:: SendUnicode( "≥" )
$!+<:: SendUnicode( "≤" )
; …

SendUnicode( UniSz )
{
  SetFormat, IntegerFast, Hex
  UniHex := SubStr( Asc(UniSz) . "", 3 )
  SetFormat, IntegerFast, d

  ; difference between GTK+ applications and all other Windows applications
  IfWinActive ahk_class gdkWindowToplevel
    SendInput, {Ctrl down}{Shift down}u%UniHex%{Space}{Shift up}{Ctrl up}
  Else
    SendInput, {U+%UniHex%}
}
