so is it possible to insert the URL using AutoHotKey into the browser field? and to launch to the URL page?
Yep.
Depending on the browser, there is likely a hotkey to select the _address field_ and the usual result is that the whole contents is selected.
In I.E. both the hotkeys F6 and Alt-d both seem to do the job.
I can't speak to the "remote desktop" aspect of the question because I have never had the need or setup.
The simple methods to use are the same as what you would do manually.
1 find the address someplace
2 select the text of the address
3 copy the address with alt-edit-copy (control-C) ^c in Ahk
4 switch to the browser, or open it if not already open
5. select the _address field_ (click, or F6 or alt-d; your choice)
6 paste the prior copied address and hit enter to >go<
In the code below, F2 performs steps 3...6
F1 is just a hodgepodge collection of thought on how to get the address besides control-c
Code:
settitlematchmode 2 ; <----- easier to match a title, still must spell and CaPiTaLiZe correctly
return
f1:: ; you can use several methods to open a webpage
web=http://autohotkey.com ; a variable
;run %web%
;run http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/ ; hard-coded
send {f6} ; this is assuming that I.E.is alreaad open and you wish the
; new address to replace the current contents
sleep ,100
send %web%
sleep ,100
send {enter}
return
f2:: ; pre-select the webaddress and then hit F2
send ^c ; the copy shortcut that works in most windows-based programs
address=%clipboard% ; read the address from the clipboard
; for more information, search for 'clipboard' in the help file
IfWinNotExist, Windows Internet Explorer ;
{
run %addess%
}
else
{
winactivate, Windows Internet Explorer
send {f6} ; <----- hotkey causes I.E. to select address bar
sleep ,100
send %web% ; paste the address
sleep ,100
send {enter} ; enter to 'go there'
return
}
