AutoHotkey Community

My autohotkey.ini file includes utilities.ahk, which contains a hotkey for listvars.

I use utilities.ahk in all scripts I write.

When I press the hotkey for listvars, I keep getting the variables for the ahk.ini file, not the script I'm running.

Here's an example of the files:

ahk.ini


How can I control which variables are retreived with listvars when multiple scrips are running?

myscript.ahk



utilities.ahk

Change ^v::ListVars to ~^v::ListVars, then use the little red buttons at the top right corner to reach the one you want

I assume you mean the grey close "x" button?

I don't get it.... I'm only getting one window to open (seeme to be different each time... maybe depending on the order the scripts were launched?)

Actually, my included file line is



I added the "~" as you suggested, but it's only opening up one variable list window...

thx!

See the OnMessage documentation and the last 2 examples. With only the hotkeyed PostMessage in your "always running" script, and the OnMessage -> ListVars in your scripts/include, combined with a small "which script's vars do you want to see" selection GUI on keypress, it would work.

If you include the hotkey in all scripts, only the last (I guess) will be active, and you'll only see those ListVars.
