 Posted: Thu Mar 06, 2008 12:11 am Post subject: New Version of Pidgin not friendly with AutoHotKey |
 |
|
I updated my Pidgin to version 2.4.0 [previous was 2.3.1] and one of my scripts refused to work. When I clicked WIN + Z, the buddy list used to pop up, but now I get an error message saying "An instance of Pidgin is already running."
This is the code that used to work
| Code: |
#z::
;----Pidgin buddy List Show/Hide
IfWinActive Buddy List
{
WinClose Buddy List
} else {
Run "C:\Program Files\Pidgin\Pidgin.exe"
}
Return
|
Plus, any other hotkeys for Pidgin that you guys are using would be great to show off here. |

| When I used Pidgin 2.3.1, the script worked when it was in the tray, but now with your script, nothing seems to happen. I'm on a laptop using Vista, do the scroll function is unnecessary. |

I cant get a script to show the Buddy List either. I tried different postmessage etc. I get it to flimmer and show a split second, but then it dissappears again.
I dont have a solution to get it work in AHK, but there is a plugin that will let you toggle the Buddy List (and a couple other hotkeys). You can find it here:
http://pidgin-hotkeys.sourceforge.net/ |

| Gtk applications don't respond the same way Windows does. I tried to automate pidgin before, sadly my attempts were unsuccessful. |

GTK + AutoHotKey = Not play nice.
Sorry I didn't see this before, its easy to fix once you know that. Its best to just send a hotkey to Pidgin and have it show/hide its own windows.
You need this:
http://pidgin-hotkeys.sourceforge.net/
And I setup a wierd key I would never use for the plugin:
CTRL + ALT + SHIFT + NumSubtract
And then set up what I want (which changes time to time) with AutoHotKey.
| Code: | ;Show/Hide by send hotkey to Pidgin (right side)ALT+SPACE
>!Space::^!+NumpadSub |

I've the following script running to make it easy for me to type German on an English keyboard:
| Code: | ^!a::ä
^!o::ö
^!u::ü
^!s::ß
^!A::Ä
^!O::Ö
^!U::Ü |
However, of course, it doesn't work inside Pidgin windows. Anyway to fix this? |

See this article (in german), in particular the "Update (2009-05-17)" section (contains link to a script).
P.S.
According AHK Help, section "General Remarks", the German umlauts can be sent by AHK on US / EU-Western code-page, but there are problems with other Unicode chars. For that reason I'm using Lexikos' [url=]AutoHotkey_L[/url] custom build, and the script below:
| Code: | $^!s:: SendUnicode( "0219" ) ; ș
$^!+s:: SendUnicode( "0218" ) ; Ș
$^!t:: SendUnicode( "021B" ) ; ț
$^!+t:: SendUnicode( "021A" ) ; Ț
; …
$!+Left:: SendUnicode( "2190" ) ; ←
$!+Up:: SendUnicode( "2191" ) ; ↑
$!+Right:: SendUnicode( "2192" ) ; →
$!+Down:: SendUnicode( "2193" ) ; ↓
$!+>:: SendUnicode( "2265" ) ; ≥
$!+<:: SendUnicode( "2264" ) ; ≤
; …
SendUnicode( UniHex )
{
; difference between GTK+ applications and all other Windows applications
IfWinActive ahk_class gdkWindowToplevel
SendInput, {Ctrl down}{Shift down}u%UniHex%{Space}{Shift up}{Ctrl up}
Else
SendInput, {U+%UniHex%}
} |

This one is better (you don't need to know the hex-code of the chars):
| Code: | $^!s:: SendUnicode( "ș" )
$^!+s:: SendUnicode( "Ș" )
$^!t:: SendUnicode( "ț" )
$^!+t:: SendUnicode( "Ț" )
; …
$!+Left:: SendUnicode( "←" )
$!+Up:: SendUnicode( "↑" )
$!+Right:: SendUnicode( "→" )
$!+Down:: SendUnicode( "↓" )
$!+>:: SendUnicode( "≥" )
$!+<:: SendUnicode( "≤" )
; …
SendUnicode( UniSz )
{
SetFormat, IntegerFast, Hex
UniHex := SubStr( Asc(UniSz) . "", 3 )
SetFormat, IntegerFast, d
; difference between GTK+ applications and all other Windows applications
IfWinActive ahk_class gdkWindowToplevel
SendInput, {Ctrl down}{Shift down}u%UniHex%{Space}{Shift up}{Ctrl up}
Else
SendInput, {U+%UniHex%}
