The existence of the AltTab function seems unusual to me in the first place. I guess that AHK needs to do something special to manipulate the Alt-Tab menu properly and Send "!{Tab}" doesn't cut it. But because there's no OS-level Ctrl-Tab thing going on, you can simply remap your key to Ctrl-Tab wit...

This is actually possible in AutoHotkey already even though I remember people telling me it's impossible years ago in IRC. See this script for an example: The gist of it: #HotIf Foobar() f::return #HotIf ; Every odd F key press is consumed and every even F key press plays a sound. Foobar() { static ...

I've been meaning to write a script like this to prove a point to someone. You don't need to fully understand it, this script abuses an AHK feature in an unusual way. ; When CapsLock is pressed, call PressedCaps(). Still toggles CapsLock ; because PressedCaps() returns 0, meaning the actual hotkey i...

Here's a script that prevents the mouse from moving vertically while Left Alt is held. The mouse remains on the same Y position as it was when the key was pressed - if you'd like it to go to a specific Y position, replace mouseY with it. Note the A_ScreenWidth in there. I can not test this in a mult...

In my view, the following sum is 26, and so this is the meaning of adding the orange to the apple-- in some situations. #Requires AutoHotkey v2.0 num := RegExReplace("number23", ".*?(\d+)", "$1") MsgBox 3 + num MsgBox 3 + "23" num := RegExReplace("number23", ".*?(\d+)", 3 + "$1") This would replace...

The documentation is already 100% perfectly clear what Replacement is: it is a string. You seem to think that it RegExReplace takes some special and magical argument, but no, it is nothing more than a string. The catch here is that RegExReplace also interprets Replacement and replaces any $number, $...

I had formulated a function to get the description of a Windows error code because the documentation for https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/v2/Variables.htm#LastError did not actually link any specific place to read about the error codes. I was told that AutoHotkey v2 already has this built-in: one can...

Good works, but there is one that does some of the same in v2. MsgBox OSError(7).Message You see what I mean? :) AutoHotkey's documentation is usually so good that I always trust it and take its descriptions and examples at face value. I will be filing a documentation improvement because I think A_...

The Auto-Hide Taskbar setting does not hide the taskbar, it leaves an annoying two pixel tall sliver behind. This script uses a simple mouse hook (based on OnMouseEvent ) to appropriately hide and show the taskbar as the mouse moves to and from the bottom of the screen independently of its own hide/...

Hi, I was just wondering, in your specific use case, if you have any reason to not use the filepath itself that is also an unique identifier for the file. Yes. I rename the files. Each file's path is %screenshots%\<year><month> <category>\<14-digit date> <description> . Ideally I'd write the descri...

Include this script and use OnMouseEvent(Function, AddRemove) exactly as you would use OnExit or OnMessage .

~LWin::vkE8 Now pressing the Win key by itself will not show the Start menu, yet you may use any Win key hotkey. With the Win key thus disabled, the Start menu can also be opened by pressing Ctrl+Esc. The Start menu will only appear if the Win key was pressed and released without any other key bein...

Thank you so much for this module, the async/functional behavior is awesome. I think this is what will motivate me to finally port my scripts from 2a to 2b. (I have not tried this script yet, but will after I do that) However, I'd like to point out that escapeparam() is a little bit naive. Right now...
