I downloaded this script an hour ago, I have a the folder setup with some favorites and using the default configuration, but nothing happens no matter when File Open dialog I try. How can I troubleshoot? Other AHK scripts seem to run fine... running 1.0.46.07 and Win XP

I've set the hotkey for the favorites menu as follows:
f_Hotkey1 = ^RButton Up

This mostly works fine, with the menu typically being displayed at the point where I press and release control+rbutton.
However, sometimes the mouse pointer mysteriously moves a long way from the menu just as the menu appears, which is quite annoying.

I use the TweakUI "X-Mouse" powertoy, which allows me to switch focus by moving the mouse into windows without needing to click, and this seems to be contributing to the problem. If I disable X-Mouse, Favorites.ahk seems to work correctly without this occasional strange, mouse warping.

I've tried various things:
Using the middle button, I still get the problem.
Removing the "Up" from the key binding, I still get the problem.
Changing the X-Mouse "activation delay" to something ridiculously large, I still get the problem.

Any ideas on how to work around this (and still use X-Mouse )?

I did try EXAMPLE #3 from the autohotkey Menu documentation, and this didn't display the problem. Perhaps it's due to some odd timing interaction?

Thanks,

John.

Hello, I have assigned the F12 key to bring up the favourites menu. I imagined that in my main AutoHotKey script I could do something like:

Hello, I still haven't figured out how to get keyboard shortcuts working directly. Is it possible? I also have another question. Is it possible to have the direct links appear first and the folder links come underneath these? I tired editing the file but couldn't find a way to change the order in which these links appear.

Well if all you want to do is use the script's "open path in various things" functionality you can just use this function. I just pulled the relevant bits out of the script and mashed them together but it seems to work right. (It's evolved a lot since I first wrote it )

As for putting folders after links, this version of BuildMenu should do the trick. Please bear in mind though that I only gave it a very cursory testing.

Thank you for both your replies. Moving the direct shortcuts to the top is good and the function for "open path in various things" is great. I used to use DirKey. For some reason this stopped working but it was very useful as pressing ctrl+alt+number would set a shorcut key and ctrl+number would execute it. The only thing, I think that now stops it from being perfect is not being able to over-write shortcuts. I know it is possible to edit the Favourites folder but it would be even better if it offered the choice to over-write a shortcut directly rather than saying that it was already in use. Still, the navigation pssobilities are awesome.

Best wishes,

Love this. Very helpful.

Here is a screenshot



Note:
(1) see how the Favorites displayed in the menu (which you get to popup with a customizable hotkey) is created from this Favorites folder.
(2) submenus ..
(3) files and folders are allowed.

Thumbs up !

Hello, happy new year! I'm trying to put dividing lines into my list of shortcuts. The introductory remarks say:

------------------------

; Order of items specified by putting 'menu=(integer)' anywhere in comment field
; of the shortcut. No spaces allowed. Not case sensitive.
; Seperator lines specified by putting 'menu=(integer) blank' anywhere in comment
; field of the shortcut. Spaces before 'blank' optional. Not case sensitive.

------------------------

But when I tried this by rightclicking the shortcut properties via Windows Explorer, the shortcut simply disappeared from the pop-up menu. Is there a way to get this working?

Thanks,

CaH

I'm loving this script, but cannot find a way to allow a held button press (for example, holding the middle button down for 1-2 seconds and then releasing) to work correctly to execute the menu popup; any attempts I have made to modify the code either result in the script terminating after one execution, or only working for one execution, and then only allowing the default hotkeys to work. If anyone could check it out and come up with a suggestion, I'd appreciate it greatly.

Hi there!

Is it possible to define a list of window-titles where the favorite-menu should not be shown?

best regards,

Hi,

I noticed if the shortcut name contains an ampersand (&), it underlines the next character instead of displaying one. (i.e. a "&") That's how menus work, so I was just wondering if that was left on purpose so people can use keys they set up to navigate thru the menu, or what. If you don't think it needs to be "fixed", you might consider pointing it out at the top of the script. Just a thought. (I actually like the idea of using the "&" symbol for creating shortcut keys in the menu)


It would be awesome if menu icons were supported. Like in Menu Icons v2. A folder could have the folder icon, and any shortcuts use their set icon (or maybe the file it points to's standard icon. & maybe a submenu would have none?) Or is it possible to get the icon used by a shortcut? (under "Properties>Change Icon", is it possible to get that path?) Any way, I think that would be absolutely way cool if that could be added. But if not, maybe the menu style should be changed to not have that extra space for a checkmark or icon on the left of the menu names.
