Hello afterburner,
FYI: I'm currently working on the new features. 
Concerning this New Folder hotkey:
What folder/entry is highlighted on the left side in your explorer after startup?
The hotkey just opens the FileMenu and chooses New - Folder.
Another way of achiving this might be using the Apps key. This solution might work on the desktop but I don't know exactly. Give it a try. 
| Code: | #q::
Send, {AppsKey}NO
Return |
btw. in order to work correctly no icon shall be highlighted on the desktop.
Another point is that the AppsKeys doesn't work in Windows Explorer on every folder. e.g. My Documents.

Cheers

-Third hotkey:(for individual renaming) Does the file rename/folder with that name/move thing. |
As far as I understand it hotkey#2 and #3 can be combined.
E.g. using a new hotkey Ctrl+Win+C would open the little GUI/InputBox that demands for this sensemaking name and creates the folder and the .txt file within at once without creating a date-time stamp file within the notes subfolder. What do you think?

 The apps key hotkey above is languange specific. In an english XP it must be either:
| Code: | #q::
Send, {AppsKey}NF
Return |
or
| Code: | #q::
Send, {AppsKey}N{Enter}
Return
|

My reason for having hotkey#2 and #3 seperate was lets say the user is feeling lazy and does not want to rename at the moment, the user can use just use hotkey #1. later the user has to rename a number of files, the the user can use hotkey #2 and rename files.
Your suggestion is great I'm just taking into account the lazy factor lol.
For the do-it now folks they would of course use hotkey #2. |

|
|
The following code I tested on my desktop with no icons highligted:
here are the results AGU:
| Code: | #q::
Send, {AppsKey}NO
Return |
| Code: | #q::
Send, {AppsKey}NF
Return |
The two samples of code above opened the apps context window only.
| Code: | #q::
Send, {AppsKey}N{Enter}
Return |
This last code almost worked, I modified it to work on my desktop. The modified code is:
| Code: | #q::
Send, {AppsKey}
Send, w{Enter}
Return
|
As I said this only works on my desktop.
--------------------------------------------------------
Other tests
Test on: Windows Explorer
Failed: "My Computer" was highlighted. Screen Flickered
Test on: D: drive
Failed: D: drive was highlighted - WinRar was started
Test on: C:\Test
Failed: Test was highlighted - "Copy to" box popped up
Test on: C:\Test - (this time I left clicked inside "Test" folder before using the hotkey)
Success
Conclusion: We have to get the script to move focus inside the target folder without any icons highlighted or always do it manually. |

OK, afterburner. 
New version. Please see first posting. Give it a try. There might be some bugs or script errors.

After testing the new version I did a summersault. Thank AGermanUser.
I noticed that you did not include a way to view the document or to open the "export" folder.
Sugestions:
1: May I suggest you create a two tabs to view the documents in "notes" folder and "export" folder:
Notes:, Export Folder:
That way clicking the tab would show you the contents of that folder.
2: Please include a context menu item the would open the both "notes" and "export" folders individually?
3. I know you've been busy energies into the impovement so I will conclude you may have forgotten about the:
- dictionary lookup suggestion
- New folder suggestion.
Would you include these into the next version?

Starting "AHK CopyPassage 2.0" will create a window "AHK CopyPassage 2.0"
therefore at the label NoteGUI:
the else condition will never be reached.
That means, that the title in | Code: | | Gui, 1:Show, x%PosX% y%PosY% w%GuiW% h%GuiH%, %ScriptName% |
has to be changed, for example to | Code: | | Gui, 1:Show, x%PosX% y%PosY% w%GuiW% h%GuiH%, %ScriptName% GUI |
Only then the hotkey #g will display the GUI.
( Or have I made a mistake?) |

@robiandi
I`ve encountered this error already.
It is because you have opened this thread in a browser window while running AHK CopyPassage.
When you open this thread, the browser window will have the WinTitle AHK CopyPassage 2.0.
Therefore there exists already a window with this name and CopyPassage thinks this is the script window.
I think I'll rename this thread. After doing this, the error might dissappear.

As english is not my mother tounge, I searched quite some time until I realized that you did a somersault. 
| Quote: | | I noticed that you did not include a way to view the document or to open the "export" folder. |
Do you mean the document within the folder you give a name (which is created as a subfolder within the Export folder?)
Viewing the export folder is not a big problem I think. I could use
Run, explorer.exe %ExportDir% to open up an explorer window displaying the content of this folder. What do you think about this?
| Quote: | 1: May I suggest you create a "tabs" to view the documents in "export" folder. Is this possible with AHK? So you could have two tabs:
Notes:, Export Folder:
That way clicking the tab would show you the contents of that folder.
|
Tabs would be possible with AHK. I must have a look into it. But I fear this will make the whole script more complicated as I might have to change a lot of subroutines to pay attention which Tab is open at the moment. Therefore I would prefer another solution for this. Any idea?
Maybe another GUI which could be called by a menu entry, or a button within the GUI, ...
Or do you mean s.th like the current GUI with a ListView element, that lists all text files in the subfolders of the export folder. And clicking these files should display their content in an edit control in the same way?
| Quote: | 2: Could you include also including a context menu item the would open the both "notes" and "export" folders individually?
|
Why would you like to open the "notes" folder? Export folder sounds like #1. An explorer window?
| Quote: | 3. I know you've been busy energies into the impovement so I will conclude you may have forgotten about the:

Would you include these into the next version? Very Happy |
I think dictionary lookup might not be of common interest for all CopyPassage users. Therefore I left that out. But feel free to add this hotkey to the scripts (main.ahk) you have on your harddisk after installing CopyPassage.
Or convince me that this is of common interest.
Concerning New folder suggestion:
As you might have noticed there isn't a 100% reliable solution for creating a new folder by hotkey. It is a known problem. See e.g. this thread. Therefore I left that out too, to avoid users reporting these errors all the time. But again, feel free to add one of the hotkeys we found out already, to your own scripts.

I would not have known English was not your first language.
Concerning:
| Quote: | | Maybe another GUI which could be called by a menu entry, or a button within the GUI, |
I'm sure you could do it that way; the tab idea was to make it easier for the user to see all the text files. I know it would make your job more challenging. Thank you again for your hard work.
I see your point about:
| Quote: | Why would you like to open the "notes" folder? Export folder sounds like #1. An explorer window?
|
So instead just make a way to open the "export" folder. This would help a user who has downloaded a program and then used AHK Copy Passage to copy serial, install instructions, or a program description. Then the user can open the link to the folder then move the stuff somewhere else. This is just a time saving feature for the user.
| Quote: | | I think dictionary lookup might not be of common interest for all CopyPassage users. Therefore I left that out. |
| Quote: | | Or convince me that this is of common interest. |
Ok here's my shot lol:
(insert inspirational music) AHK Copy Passage is turning into more than just a quick notes program. I see it as a tool to copy notes and even keep those notes organized. That other view tab for the "export" folder I suggested would act like an organizer so a user would have quick access to important notes he might want handy and permanent on a daily basis so one would not have to search far for important quick stuff. The first tab, what is contained in the "notes" folder is actually a temporary folder.
Adding web/google look up, the dictionary look up, and the universal folder create hotkey add to the versatility of your program and fall in line with file management and minor editing. I simply see it as a natural progression of your original thought. (insert a huge crowd with loud applause) |

I have noticed that this awesome script does not allow saving with ":" character. Is it possible to allow the script to allow it? If so how can this be done?
Note: May I again say how greatful I am that you created this script I use it every day without fail. I wish I had more knowledge this second so I could continue to customize and expand this script to do a few more awesome things. |

Nope.
Windows doesn't allow ":" as part of a file name. Give it a try. Create a new .txt file on your desktop and name it e.g. :test.txt. So it's not a limitation of the script but a limitation by the OS.

| You're correct. How about substituting ":" for a space in naming files. |

|

Sorry for my poor english
FIFA use DirectInput and doesn't work with simulated Keys.
I've changed:
| Code: | $F5::
IfWinNotActive, %ScriptName%
{
Send, {F5}
Return
}
; Otherwise script is running and label can be executed
RefreshGui:
GoSub, FillNoteFileList
Return
; Hotkey for Keyboard navigation within ListView
$Up::
IfWinNotActive, %ScriptName%
{
Send, {Up}
Return
}
Send, {Up}
GoSub, FillNoteEditControl
Return
$Down::
IfWinNotActive, %ScriptName%
{
Send, {Down}
Return
}
Send, {Down}
GoSub, FillNoteEditControl
Return |
to
| Code: | #IfWinActive, AHK CopyPassage
Hotkey, F5, Press_F5
Hotkey, Up, Press_Up
Hotkey, Down, Press_Down |
at the beginning of the script,
and added the Routines
| Code: | Press_F5:
Send, {F5}
Return
Press_Up:
Send, {Up}
GoSub, FillNoteEditControl
Return
Press_Down:
Send, {Down}
GoSub, FillNoteEditControl
Return |
Now I can keep CopyPassage running while i play FIFA |
