I have noticed that if I type a query too quickly in anything, anything misses some of the characters I type, forcing me to re-type them more slowly so that anything gets my query correctly.

For example, say I want to switch to a chrome window (the web browser) that I have open. If I open anything and type chrome too quickly, anything often only gets crome (or a similar variation) which forces me to undo and retype the full query (i.e. chrome) more slowly. This subtracts value from the goal of quickly switching between windows.

I am not sure if this is a limitation of AutoHotkey or of anything itself, but it looksl ike anything misses some of the characters I type because is too busy searching, sorting or filtering the possibilities from the previous characters. I am wondering if adding a short delay (e.g. 0.5 seconds) before anything displays the result of the search would do the trick.

I have been using anything every day for about two months, and this is perhaps the only major annoyance that I found in the tool. Other than that, the program is fantastic.

this bug is fixed .you can update your source and have a try .

Fantastic. I just tried it and the problem went away!!

Unfortunately I just noticed another error right now after testing things more thoroughly. The bug is the following: If I add a key to a window with Ctrl-m, the filtering does not work anymore (i.e. I can type anything but the options anything shows will not be updated accordingly).

The filtering works again as soon as I delete the manually-assigned keys (i.e. pressing Crtl-m again on the the selection).

I don't know if this error was there before, but thanks a lot @jixiuf for your help fixing the previous error.

Excellent!

By the way I have noticed that the following property is not working anymore in the new version:

Code:

my_anything_properties["anything-execute-action-at-once-if-one"]:="no"

It's odd, I checked the source code in autohotkey.ahk, and the lines that say:

Code:

if matched_candidates.maxIndex() == 1

seem to be checking the property correctly, i.e.:

Code:

if (tmpSources[source_index]["anything-execute-action-at-once-if-one"]="yes")

So I can't tell why it isn't working.

I would love to start helping you fixing things like this, but I am unable to spot this error myself.

fixed ,source is updated.

but I must mention that
anything-execute-action-at-once-if-one and
anything-execute-action-at-once-if-one-even-no-keyword
are anything-source-property,not anything-properties.
so

Code:

my_anything_properties["anything-execute-action-at-once-if-one"]:="no"

doesn't work .

Code:

!Tab::
my_anything_properties:=Object()
my_anything_properties["win_width"]:= 900
my_anything_properties["win_height"]:= 380
my_anything_properties["anything_use_large_icon"]:=1
my_anything_properties["FontSize"]:= 15
 
anything_window_switcher_source["anything-execute-action-at-once-if-one"]:="no"
anything_window_switcher_source["anything-execute-action-at-once-if-one-even-no-keyword"]:="no"

anything_with_properties(anything_window_switcher_source,my_anything_properties)
return

Fantastic. Thanks jixiuf for fixing these errors. I am using the most recent version of anything and it just works great.

Your tool is really one of the most useful AutoHotkey scripts I have seen on this site.

getExplorerAddressPath doesn't work on windows 7 (i have 64bit). Consider using shell Application com object:

Code:

for Item in ComObjCreate("Shell.Application").Windows ; loop through the ShellWindows Collection
   data .=   "Name:`t" Item.LocationName "`n"
         .   "URL:`t"  Item.LocationURL  "`n"

Code:

getExplorerAddressPath()                
{
        Critical
        Obj:=ComObjCreate("Shell.Application")
        for objWin in obj.Windows
        {
                ForegroundWindow:=DllCall("GetForegroundWindow")
                If (InStr(objWin.FullName, "explorer.exe") && (objWin.hwnd=ForegroundWindow))
                        return, RegExReplace(RegExReplace(UrlUnEscape(objWin.LocationURL),"file:///",""),"/","\")
;                Else if (InStr(objWin.FullName, "iexplore.exe") && (objWin.hwnd=ForegroundWindow)) 
;                        return, """iexplore.exe""" " "objWin.LocationURL
        }
        ObjRelease(Object(obj))
}
UrlUnEscape(url)                ;
{
   VarSetCapacity(newUrl,500,0),pcche:=500
   DllCall("shlwapi\UrlUnescapeW", Str,url, Str,newUrl, UIntP,pcche, UInt,0x10000000)
   Return newUrl
}

Code:

getExplorerAddressPath()
{
    WinGetText,full_path,A
    StringSplit,word_array,full_path,`n
    full_path:= word_array1
    Pos :=InStr(full_path,":\")
    if(Pos>0)
    {
        path2:= SubStr(full_path,Pos-1,1) . SubStr(full_path,Pos)
    }
    StringReplace, path2, path2, `r, , all
    return path2
}

source is updated ,But I never test it on window7

I was wondering if there is a property in anything that controls the maximum length of the strings displayed in the menu.

For example, for the windows switcher application, sometimes I have an explorer window open in a very deep path, e.g.:

C:/a/b/c/../../../../../../this/is/a/very/long/path/.../

but at the moment anything would only display:

EXPLORER_C:/a/b/c/../../../../../../

trimming the string to 96 characters (104 including the word EXPLORER_), leaving out the rest of the path (the path above is just an illustrative example).

I have changed the parameters win_width and win_height to accomodate long paths, but anything still trims the strings when they are very long.

@AmR09
I didn't write any code trimming the candidate. ListView trim it automically.

anything.ahk anything-window-swither.ahk
anything-explorer-history.ahk
anything-favorite-directories.ahk
is update .
I add an "onselect" event for each anything-source above.

and show the candidate on the statusbar at the same time .

Thanks @jixiuf!

I just updated my anything to the latest version.

Do you know if there is a way to get ListView to not trim the strings? Sometimes I want to filter items in the menu with words that appear at the end of a very long string, but I can't do it because the strings are trimmed.

For example, if I have these two items in the menu:

C/this/is/a/very/long/path/foo
C/this/is/a/very/long/path/bar

I would like to be able to choose between them by typing foo or bar, but at the moment I can't because the strings are trimmed.

Thanks again

you can use foo bar to choose ,though you can not see the trimmed string.
maybe you can set fontsize with a small value

Code:

my_anything_properties2:=Object()
my_anything_properties2["anything_use_large_icon"]:=0
my_anything_properties2["FontSize"]:= 12
 anything_multiple_sources_with_properties(anything-sourcess,my_anything_properties2)
