AutoHotkey Community

You were correct IsNull. Thank you so much!
PS: Awesome name.

Hi polyethene,
i can not understand .Net
i am using the Latest Version of IronAHK 0.5.7-x86 but these commands are not working
i am using Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3

Process, Close
SplashImage
and BlockInput

please help me i am in trouble.

Since I can't plan ahead for time to develop any schedule or deadlines would be difficult to meet. I have a good idea of what needs to be done for each milestone and the time it should take. v0.7 should be this week or next depending on whether we want the smart-compiler in this version. v0.9 would be 3-4 weeks and v1 would be ready in 5-6 weeks after that. That is assuming I have no other new priorities.


Please use the nightly version which is the most up-to-date.

...by "add a date" I just meant add the date you last reviewed/updated the page, not forward-looking dates of when things will be done.


...Merry Christmas?...I can't wait to test my scripts with v1...I don't think I can test them sooner than v1, cuz they seem to all use features not ready until v1...but I can't remember the roadmap right now, I think GUIs are v.7?

i am using this version
there is a problem with the command of SplashImage
it is not working like Original AutoHotKey

AHK 2D GAME ENGINE

I just installed ubuntu on a new partition PURELY to try this out (ahk is the only reason I'm still using Windows).

I CANNOT figure out how to run a simple script! I can't even double click the .exe nor drag .ahk files onto it. Can somebody point me to a simple instruction on how to get a simple script going on ubuntu?

...wow, unless I'm completely missing the point, if you wanna run this on Ubuntu (or Linux), you wouldn't download the exe (.exe's are for Windows {& maybe WINE}). For Linux/Ubuntu, I think you'd download the source & compile it.

1. Install the package libmono-winforms2.0-cil (click Search on Synaptic)
2. Download the nightly binaries
3. Extract the zip and browse to the contents
4. Open terminal (usually right click > Open Terminal Here)
5. Type mono IronAHK.exe Example.ahk

If you install IronAHK with setup.sh you can run scripts the standard way with #!/usr/bin/env ironahk as the first line then running with ./Example.ahk or similar. This is how all kinds of scripts are used in Linux (PHP, Ruby, Python, Perl, etc.)


.NET exe files are slightly different to regular Win32 executables. Apart from the installers, all the precompiled packages for IronAHK work interchangeably on every operating system with .NET or Mono. For Mono the file extension is meaningless, but .exe is typically used for any CLR application with an entry point.

...ah, I was wondering about that...but...

• How is the Mac app download different from the rest of the downloads (can't Macs do the same a Linux?)
• Is there any reason to download the sources? (for Linux)

...is there a way to make double clicking the .exe or .ahk work? Instead of running it that way all the time?


...any other ways to make double clicking work, like in Windows?


...that seems like a weird shebang line. Why "/usr/bin/env" with a param of "ironahk" (what does running env do?) & not something like...

#!/usr/bin/ironahk

Also, just now, looking at the downloads, I'd like to ask you: How do you create the msi files? I've read some steps somewhere online about formatting a computer to a "clean state", making a snapshot, installing manually, taking another snapshot & creating an msi from the differences. Is that REALLY the steps everyone goes thru to make an msi? That seems exceedingly convoluted to me: reformat/reset an "example computer" every time you make a new msi? There HAS to be a better way.

The App Bundle makes it easier for Mac users to run the program. Like .jar files it is essentially a .zip with a certain structure. I don't have a Mac so I could not test it myself, but others have told me it works. Mac users can still run IronAHK the Linux way.


Not unless you prefer to compile yourself. The nightly build server is CentOS with Mono 2.6.7 and the stable releases are built on my Windows 7 laptop with Visual Studio 2010 Professional. However none of this matters since the resulting binaries are practically identical.


Yes it is possible but requires kernel modifications. This will be provided for Debian/Ubuntu users when I write .deb packages.


/usr/bin/env is more portable, but you can specify the absolute path if you like.


With WiX.

So just to be clear: with IronAHK I can have an AHK script which I wrote in Windows which binds tons of my keys to unique actions (such as minimizing windows or switching to Firefox if it's not active) run on *Ubuntu* with little to no modification of the original script?

If so, I think there is no reason to use Windows anymore!

Yes, that was the purpose of creating this project

Thanks for the simple instructions! This simple keybind won't work when I try to compile in Ubuntu though:

CapsLock::Send {Escape}


It literally sends the keystring "Escape". How do I get it to press the escape key? This would work under AHK in windows.

...1st of all, are you using 0.5.7 or a nightly build?...(if so, which?). 2nd, I have no idea if that part is written yet (send command with {special} keys), but since IronAHK is not 1.0 yet, some things don't work/aren't written yet. polyethene will be able to tell you if it should work yet (or is a bug that it don't work).
