thank you !

yes, I have the tray icon.
if I double click the it, I get this message

Type Off? Running Name
-------------------------------------------------------------------

now, I just checked on the vista machine, I get this instead:
Type Off? Running Name
-------------------------------------------------------------------
k-hook CapsLock
k-hook Numpad0
k-hook NumpadDot


I copied the folder containing the script, icons, etc., straight from that machine, and it is the exactly same on the other XP pc I use.


what happen, basically nothing... the numpad just does its numpad job... I have other hotkeys configured on the numpad through other scripts that I made and they work

what I'd expect is the WindowPad behavior I got an addiction for.

The empty hotkey list means that it didn't load any hotkey definitions from the config file. If you're running WindowPad.ahk, try WindowPad.exe instead to eliminate any possible problems with your AutoHotkey installation. You could also try removing WindowPad.ini and running WindowPad.exe; it should restore and load the default config file. If you have UAC enabled (it is by default), make sure to put the script somewhere it can write to, like Documents, not Program Files.

whit your suggestions I managed to fix it...

I run the .exe, it was working.
I replaced the .ahk file I was using with the new that come with the source I just downloaded, and the .ini the .exe generated. it worked!

I edited the .ini to my taste, I noticed that some constant changed, what shoud I use now for: WindowPadMinimize?

thank you so much!

I don't believe there ever was a WindowPadMinimize command. It was always just Minimize. The readme included with the download lists all of the pre-defined commands. You can also define more in the script as "subroutines:" or "functions()".

Excellent script, very very cool.

Maybe I missed it, but does WindowPad remember the original size and position?
What I'm looking for is:
1. to cycle through each state and switch to the original state before starting over
2. to bind a hotkey to the original state

Would that be possible?

1. Not unless you modify the script.
2. Specify "R" for each axis you wish to restore, like #LAlt=WPM R, R. If coordinates and size are also specified and the window is already in its restored position, the "R" is ignored.

Lexicos, thanks for a wonderful program; I'd been enjoying it for years!

BTW, while I appreciate the clever use of Capslock as hotkey (other keys would be difficult as I have many hotkeys definitions), I have problems with the capslock being on after using Windowpad (WP). This messes up with my editing sessions e.g. vim.

Is it possible to to revert Capslock back to it's original state before using WP, immediately after invoking
WP?
If that's not possible, can the capslock be set back to "lowercase" after invoking WP?
If that's not possible, I'll have to abandon the use of capslock and maybe use exotic key combos eg. win-Z (to replace Capslock). Not sure if this can be done in AHK though. Special keys combos e.g. ^! should be doable but I'd used them up. Other combos would be too GUI-unfriendly.

Thanks,
fsnow55

The "Hotkeys" pseudo-command is designed to let the prefix key (CapsLock) through if you don't press any WindowPad hotkeys between pressing and releasing it. If you've pressed a key forming a valid combination (such as CapsLock & a), CapsLock shouldn't be let through. You can try simply disabling the contents of the HC_SendThisHotkey(AndReturn) subroutine, if you want to completely disable the prefix key's original function.

Use GetKeyState and SetCapsLockState in the Hotkeys() function.

Win & z = #z

Lex, your reply prompted me to review the way I'm pressing the Capslock combos. Key is to press CapsLock, and then the other key. Capslock didn't went through, great!. btw, this keycombo didn't work:
#z = Hotkeys, Active Window (WADS)

as the native? # (windows) combo keys have precedence e.g. pressing:
#z-d exposes the windows desktop, hides all windows; instead of windowpadding to the right.

But that's OK, I'll continue to Capslock, but smartly. Good that an old dog did't have to learn new tricks.

Thanks.

Hey - thanks for a great script.

I'm trying to mesh it with another Lexikos script, so far without luck. I'd like for a Gesture to send a WindowPad command. Specifically, when I drag right (in any window other than Firefox), I'd like to achieve the same result as pressing Capslock-D in WindowPad. Right now I have:

Gesture_R:
if (WinActive("ahk_class MozillaUIWindowClass")) {
Send {Browser_Forward}
} else {
SetStoreCapslockMode, Off
Send, {CapsLock down}
Send, d
Send, {CapsLock up}
}
return

Doesn't seem to be doing it. Any ideas to make this work?

Thanks!

Hi i just re installed my win 7 64 bit machine, and I immediately installed Autohotkey and windowpad.
Interestingly I decided to try AutoHotkey_L since it said something about 64bit. Strangely enough, it doesn't appear to allow windowpad to take over control of the windows+ key bindings.

I ran it with an older version of Autohotkey, and it worked fine.

Any reasons why this happens?

Just curious - maybe I missed something from a prior post. It's been a while since I was here.

Thanks!

Could the functionality of WindowPad be extended to do something like Moom does for the Mac?

See here: http://manytricks.com/moom/
(most especially the grid functionality)

Would be very cool, I think :D

Hi Guys,

This is great script, but it doesn't appear to do the one thing that I'd really like it to do..maximize the current window across all monitors (I have 2 identically sized monitors, sitting next to each other).

Is there a way of making the script do that, easily? (Perhaps it's not possible with AHK?)

Thanks again for a great script, even without dual-monitor maximise! :)

Put YourDesiredHotkey=FillVirtualScreen in your WindowPad.ini.
