Speak for yourself. The Capslock layout has proven to be the most efficient for me.

The script does not impose a restriction on how many hotkeys you can use. The syntax of the INI is similar to an AHK script. It differs in the following ways:
- = is used instead of ::
- Each hotkey must be single-line.
- Only custom commands are supported - these are outlined in the help file. Variables and expressions aren't supported.
- [Hotkeys:...] sections are used to group hotkeys; hotkeys under [Hotkeys] are applied automatically. The concept is not dissimilar to #IfWin.
Try the following:
- Open the default INI.
- Copy the contents of the [Hotkeys: Active Window (Numpad)] section to the [Hotkeys] section.
- Find and replace * with #.
- Done.

Hi Lexikos
Im using some of your code from windowpad to move a program in FS to a secondary display. It works great but i have a problem with quicktime. I tried solving it with the code commented out but it doesnt work anymore because i dont have the same res on the secondary display. There is probably a much better way to do this, maybe you could enlight me?

| Use SysGet to get the monitor's size and position, then WinMove to move and resize it. |

Hello,
I am trying to get one of the hot keys to be a shift or control key because i am using a laptop.I am having no luck changing it myself.
Please help,

| At the top of this page I posted instructions on how to configure # (Win) as a hotkey. Modifier symbols (alternatives to #) are listed here. |

Wow, this script is absolutely amazing. I had been looking for a way to mimic the window sizing hotkeys found in Windows 7 for use on my computer at work. I use four 22" widescreen monitors to monitor an OpenVMS cluster as well as a web server farm and various other servers so as you can imagine I constantly have dozens of windows open. This makes managing all the different applications I run everyday a breeze.
I made some modifications (removed gather functions, changed hotkeys, etc) and loaded this into my background script that runs when Im logged into the machine and I couldnt be happier.
Excellent work, thank you (and everyone else who contributed) very much!!  |

Sorry, i am totally new to AHK, I read about windowpad in lifehacker and I am totally amazed by the idea... so here I am, diving really deep into this thing and i am pretty confident that I am lost... 
 Okay, so I first download the latest version zip file
then I extracted into c:/documents and settings/.../my documents/autohotkey/windowpad/
then I double-clicked the WindowPad.exe.... and the program icon is in the tray area...
That's about it... I try to click the Window key + a numberpad key... doesnt' work...
I am pretty sure that I have to edit something in the windowpad.ini, right??
or is there a trigger?? I am so sorry I couldn't get it....
Okay, if I just want to have my current window moved to the right have of the screen(that correspond to the num4 key right?), how do I accomplish that?? |

First of all, by "latest version zip file" you must mean the zip file posted on LifeHacker. I have never provided a compiled exe.
Secondly, the LifeHacker compiled script is based on an outdated version of WindowPad, which does not use an ini file. The first post in this thread contains a link to the latest version in source code form. I do not support outdated versions.
Finally, version 1.54 was not configured with Win+Numpad hotkeys by default. I have just uploaded version 1.55.
| Quote: | Version 1.55:
- WindowPadMove now increases a window's width by 50% if a "centre" hotkey is used, the window is already in place, and there is only one monitor.
- Added Win+Numpad configuration to default ini.
- Added comments to the default ini for users who don't read the manual.
- Updated documentation to clarify hotkey configuration and behaviour of WindowPadMove.

If you've installed AutoHotkey, double-click WindowPad.ahk to start it. If you don't wish to install AutoHotkey, you may download the AutoHotkey zip which does not require installation. You may then run a script by dragging it onto AutoHotkey.exe, or compile it with Ahk2Exe.exe. |

I actually download the zip file on the front page, then i unzipped it and there were 4 items and one folder...
Folder:icons
WindowPad.ahk
WindowPad.exe
WindowPad.html
WindowPad.ini
I double clicked it, the exe file.
and my ini file

I've added a compiled version to the zip file. Please download the updated zip. |

|
|
Hello Lexikos,
I am working on a device for my microlight aircraft (based on XP, 2 displays) that combines navigation software, engine monitoring, USB-CAM for rear view (e.g. towing gliders), antikollision... . For this the concerning windows have to be moved, scaled and overlayed on both displays. The condition,what has to be displayed and where, comes
1. from the pilot via buttons (button --> keyboardcontroller --> key)
2. from the messuring devices (e.g. allert, if EGT ist to high or altitude is low -->stall)
So far Windowpad is the best script I ever had and is very usefull for (1), Thank you for this great work.
For (2) I tried to add the necessary routines/conditions to the script. My actual barrier is (I am a "newbie") that I don't know how to use Windowpad out of a script.
E.g. - messuring device sends a key (not in ini) via contoller (I know)
- key starts routine in script (I know)
- routine calls a hotkey defined in ini (I don't know)
I have studied all threads before without success.
Could you give me a hint?
Thanks a lot
Hubert |

To trigger a particular action as assigned to a hotkey, set the Params variable then use gosub. For instance,
| Code: | ; x = WindowPadMove, 0, +1, 1.0, 0.5
Params = 0, +1, 1.0, 0.5
gosub WindowPadMove |
