Hi swagfag Awesome hint! A question about the response: What does something like "[4 of 7]" mean? Thank you! Global Variables (alphabetical) -------------------------------------------------- 0[1 of 3]: 0 A_Args: Object object {address: 0xDB410} ErrorLevel[1 of 3]: 0 myWorkArea[0 of 0]: myWorkAreaBo...

It seems to be difficult to understand the relationship between two variables below: myWorkArea and myWorkAreaBottom. Could you kindly give some clues? Thank you!

A "toolbar" like the taskbar that takes its own reserved space and pushes other windows aside is called an appbar. So all you would need to do is to create an AHK Gui with buttons to launch your scripts, and transform that Gui into an appbar. Just search for "appbar" in this forum and you'll find a...

Nobody can give some suggestions?

Thanks!

you can do a new Toolbar like this: Choose a folder, put your favorite scripts in there.

Thank you for sharing your solution! It would be great if some buttons can be simply exposed on the screen to facilitate frequent use.

Is it possible to create a dedicated taskbar which can be docked on the screen side and hold some buttons created to launch AHK scripts?

Thanks!

You might have a look at AutoHotInterception (AHI): Multi-Keyboard / Multi-Mouse support for AHK. Per-device blocking! by EvilC

Hi @hoppfrosch It seems that you updated the link recommended. Let me try to understand how it works. Thanks!

Detect multiple keyboards

Exactly what I'm looking for. Thank you!

Is it possile for AHK to know whether a key with a certain key value is pressed on the main keyboard or on an independant peripheral keyboard?

I'm not talking about numeric keys and extended numeric keys. They have different key values.

Thank you for your comments!

You might have a look at TapHoldManager - Long Press / Multi Tap / Multi Tap and Hold / Any number of Taps / Multi-Keyboard / Joystick buttons by EvilC Thank you for the reference. I have already some hotkeys of multi-tap and long hold. It seems that an extended keyboard would be great for one-stro...

If somebody has been using AHK for many years, I think he does hope the keyboard has as many keys as possile. Is it possible to make keys on an independent numberic keyboard to have key values different from those of keys on the full keyboard? If yes, it can be used as a truly entended keyboard and ...

Code: Select all

^Down::send #{Tab}

@flyingDman It works! Thank you!

It seems that only # combinations have the issue. Difficult to understand.

I have a long time annoyance with AHK ----- Win combination hot keys.

For example: fails

What's wrong with my basic understanding about how AHK works? Thanks!

@tmplinshi @ahk7

Thank you both for the very very interesting solution!

(donot know why the forum doesnot allow more than one post to be accepted as the solution)

You could have a script that simply executes a function.

Are you sure you are talking about running a AHK command in a Windows .bat file or command line?

Thanks!

if you want to run an AHK command you prefix it with a+space+your command, like so
a MsgBox Hello There will show a msgbox.

What did you mean? Where do you put the a MsgBox Hello There to run? Thanks!

example for DOS window , size / position / color dos commands DEL or ERASE is same as filedelete ( maybe use ahk command filerecycle ) Thank you for your reply! As far as I know, dos commands DEL or ERASE simply delete the files from the disk completely, rather than moving them to the recycle being...

@Rohwedder Thank you for the solution! If AHK command can be used as windows native commands, many jobs could be simplified.

I wonder whether it's possible to run a single AHK command in windows command line, like in the hypothetical (failing) command line below:
Thanks!
