Conclusion:

The jitbit recorder was fine. But I found it much more convenient to just use the Window Spy while executing the keystrokes and copying & pasting ; and just writing it directly in AutoHotkey. Much more efficient.

Hi Sash, I only got to the point where it was generating v1 code. After that, it didn't seem worth it to jump through all the hoops. I'm using the Macro Recorder in Jitbit now, which isn't perfect. But I'll get as close as possible to the automation script in jitbit, then manually translate over to ...

Thanks Greg, I thought of Pullover as a sort of official version, even thought it was third party. A forum entry seemed to indicate there was a way of effectively recording a v2 macro, but recording a v1 first, then applying a conversion tool. But I tried that, and it asks me to install v1. Too conv...

If anyone's interested, I tried MacroWin, and it does NOT write ahk code after recording, for any version of ahk. It's a nice app with a decent price, but it won't simplify (as far as I can see so far) your ahk development. I just purchased jitbit, which does macro recording and lets you edit the co...

Hi,

There are no usable recorders yet, for version 2? Am I correct about that?

After running the Launch_...recorder.ahk, it downloads some language packs and starts installing. But then a popup still says it requires AutoHotkey v1, which is not installed.

Do I need to have both AutoHotkey 1, and 2?

Hi, So the site we discussed is definitely hostile. Webroot and SuperAntiSpyware didn't catch it, but Malwarebytes did report RiskWare.ShortcutHijack in the Google Chrome shortcuts "GOOGLE CHROME.LNK". There was also some small startup program (with the word 'Mac' in it, I forgot the exact name) aft...

Boiler,

Yep, I understand.

Thanks, I'll take a look.

boiler, I didn't even notice that, until after you said to download here. It showed up in my google search earlier, that's why downloaded and installed. But I'm not able to reproduce that search, even though the full google history is available, including the search string itself. Anyway, thanks. Le...

Ok, thanks boiler.

Hi greg/swag, I download this one here, and installed. [link removed by moderator] Should I do a manual run of Webroot and SuperantiSpyware? Thanks greg, I'll send 50 to the foundation when I get upstairs later. Btw, I happened to check the forum to see these responses. But it didn't show up in my e...

Hi, I know it's early, but wanted to check if we have an Ahk.dll/AutoHotkey.dll yet for calling parts of AutoHotkey from other languages. Also, the page that pops up after installing the newest AutoHotkey [link removed by moderator] has a count of downloads and a donation button. The donation button...

Hi Boiler,

Sorry I didn't catch this one, last week.

Yes, this is the kind of script I'm looking for, thanks.


Regards,

See this script from the AutoHotkey Script Showcase.

Hi Mike, I had done a global search, and some of the responses were Scripts and Functions. The only ones found so far, were first experiments & similar, but nothing official. I just tried a specific search in the forum you referred to. But "control mouse with keyboard" in the advanced search box ret...

Hi, I played with scripts a few years ago, that used the keyboard to control mouse movements. There were options to control both direction and speed of the mouse. There were problems with those scripts, some unexplained crashes or uncontrolled mouse movements. Is there a specific robust tested scrip...

Hi, I'm just getting back into AutoHotkey, after purchasing a Koolertron keypad. I'm trying to decide which editor/ide to work with. Is there a feature comparison somwhere, between AHK Studio/Pulover's Macro Creator/others? I don't need to know which is 'better' overall, just some idea of how they d...

Hi, I'd like to copy and paste all the text (not the html) from a dynamic website, in Chrome. But the techniques I'd like to use, would apply to any app, whether desktop or browser. I would call the AutoHotkey script, either from a shell or DLL call from another app, and then use the contents of the...

Ok, thanks.

Thanks, Gregster. I'm surprised that it's necessary to specify the tab character in order to exclude the others, since those trigger characters are automatic. I guess I was expecting an EXCLUDE section for characters you don't want. In other words, if the entire ahk code is ::hw::Hello World ::wt::W...

Hi, I'm just using AutoHotKey right now, for text expansion. I searched google for 'autohotkey single trigger key' and similar searches, but cannot find the answer to this. I want to use ONLY the <tab> key to trigger a text expansion. So if I have wt defined thus: ::wt::What the...? , I'd want to ty...
