AutoHotkey Community

I said, ok, then i use a keyboard button instead the right mouse button (i would rather use the mouse alone) an took LCtrl, but then RM appears, disappears, reappears and stays as normal strange. the same with other keyboardbuttons. i am using windows 7 32bit. maybe there is a workaround to use the apple mouse alone (it is the 2 button apple wireless mouse with the little scrollball).

Thanks. I'm glad you found it useful.
Sorry, I don't have that mouse, and I can't do some tests to help you. Quick solution is: change your mouse.


Problem located and partially solved.

In line 76, you will find:

Just delete this line.

Now RMShowHotkey can be every:
1) mouse button that can be pressed down and
2) keyboard key except modifiers (Control, alt...)

Examples:
RMShowHotkey = MButton
RMShowHotkey = RButton
RMShowHotkey = a
RMShowHotkey = y
RMShowHotkey = 1
RMShowHotkey = 2

It works on my comp. I want you to also test and report does it work on your comp too.
If positive, I'll update RM pack.

"Now RMShowHotkey can be every:

Works fine for me; but I'll stick with RButton. Keep up the nice work.

@XionII: Thanks for testing.

Radial menu v3.17 updated again (v3.1708)
Changes:
- deleted line 76. See 2 posts above.
- updated documentation.

Hi Learning One,

i like your plan to rewrite RM and use Radial Menu "mg" instead. I would help with testing and small improviments, addons.

Momentan i use a Mouse Gesture ahk and Radial menu same time. I woulld love to have both together.

So i have Mouse gestures and the Radial menu on the same Hotkey.

Thanks for your amazing work.

Alaskatu

thank you very much for your quick help. we can be glad to have you working on the project!

Thanks a lot for this amazing tool.

I made the following modification, it can be usefull, at line 710 :



Therfore, by putting in the RM Setting file :
Name= no
I can ignore a button while display the others.

Simple exemple :

PS: it seems not working for subfolders, but ok for direct action.
I can't manage to figure out how fix this right now, if anyone find out before me...

I tic (Tariq Porter) - author of Gdip.ahk, am confirming that this is true.

Although I would prefer that nobody altered the library and released it as a separate library because I dont like it when people do things messily

But yeh...go ahead and do whatever you want with the Gdip lib and good luck!

ps. You may like to know that at some point I will have it converted to c# with lots of new functions that are not possible with ahk

Thanks to all, but special thanks to Tic;
Tic, thank you for your public confirmation, permission, hard and awesome work, and generosity!
Without Tic's brilliant work, RM v3+ would probably never exist. I want to remind everybody that showing images on the screen is
Tic's magic. I'm just using his spells! Everybody must respect his awesome work, and his rights as the author of Gdip.ahk!

@~clovis~: If you want to ignore a button while displaying the others, simply specify Name= Separator. See Radial menu help file - Separator And yes, nice skin.
While watching your screenshoot, I can suggest you to set ShadowHeight = 0 because your ButtonBackground doesn't have built in shadow.

@alaskatu1:It may take a veeeery loooong time before I rewrite RM, but this certainly is my plan.
Concerning Radial menu and mouse gestures, I have a good news, your wishes will come true. Read on...

Let me prepare you for Radial Menu v3.18:
Radial menu evolved again.
RM v3.18 = RM v3.17 + mouse gestures, all in one program, in one hotkey!
ShowDelay setting is gone, and replaced with RMShowGesture. By default, you will have to press, hold and drag down your mouse just for a few
pixsels to show RM (very short gesture, minimal effort). All other gestures will not show RM, but will execute whatever you specify.
It will take you a day or a two to get used to new system. I'm already using RMv3.18 for a few days. It works perfectly. I'll start to update
help file (what a boring job). Although current mouse gesture recognition system can recognize unlimited number of gestures, for practical and
security reasons I have set some limits.
Giving commands to your computer has never been easier. Coming soon...

Will it last for days or weeks till 3.18 is coming. i am looking forward with excitment

hey,
i just got 3.17 working. Its nice. But i realized when you substitute right mouse with e.g. h, and click right during radial menu on, the buttons to press disaper.

And to be honest, i will not like gestures...

+1 for not liking gestures, please ensure it is a option, not a requirement.

I like gestures! And will it work with other mouse gesture software like strokeit?

@bmn_:Read number 3.

For those who don't like mouse gestures: I bet you will change your mind. They are very useful. If you don't, here is one relevant paragraph
from RM v3.18 help file : Don't want to use gestures? --> Delete functions. If you don't like mouse gestures, and you don't want to
use them, simply delete all functions in MyMouseGestures.ahk. When gesture definitions (functions) don't exist, there is nothing to execute.

And one more: I have decided not to set pre-defined, built in gestures. Everyone has his own logic and specific needs, so it's up to you to
build your own gestures system that fits you perfectly. MyMouseGestures.ahk is tabula rasa, and it's up to you to write your commands in it.

RM help file has in-depth explanations about RM's mouse gestures. You must read it.

RM v3.18 code was finished one week ago, but I won't release it without minimal information in RM help file.
Writing a help file is a very boring job.
I sometimes ask myself why am I doing all those jobs connected with RM for you (AHK community) for free?!

Anyway, RM v3.18 is certainly not "just another launcher". It's more like "advanced system of control". It will take some time until you explore all possibilities,
understand the concept and customize it, but after you do that, you will enjoy working with it. So be patient. And read RM help file.
