Put a $ in front of the single-key hotkeys (e.g., $p::) so they are only triggered by physical key presses and not by the script sending those letters as part of the text sent with the Send command.

Thanks that worked perfectly.

Example using: #If ^+b::waitforkey := true #If waitforkey f:: waitforkey := false MsgBox, 4096, % A_ThisHotkey, Run some code here return i:: waitforkey := false MsgBox, 4096, % A_ThisHotkey, Run some code here return r:: waitforkey := false MsgBox, 4096, % A_ThisHotkey, Run some code here return #...

The better way to do this would be to have ^+b turn on hotkeys for f/i/r and then (depending on how you wanted it to work, have each of those hotkeys turn off each other key again). Have a look here. I think something like this would achieve what you're after: #InstallKeybdHook ^+b:: ; keybind for ...

I'm trying to create hotkeys for Ctrl + Shift + b then f, Ctrl + Shift + b then d, etc. I'm using this syntax: ^+b:: KeyWait, f, D, T0.25 If not ErrorLevel Some code... Return KeyWait, i, D, T0.25 If not ErrorLevel Some code... Return KeyWait, r, D, T0.25 If not ErrorLevel Some code... Return This d...

Could try passing an expression as your (second) parameter.

Code: Select all

A_Desktop "\Destination\" A_DD "-" A_MM "-" A_YYYY "_" A_Hour "-" A_Min "-" A_Sec

Forbidden in Windows file names: <>:"/\|?*

Thanks, it's working perfectly now.

Oops! I missed that part.... :) I do still recommend incorporating ErrorLevel checking into scripts that use the file-management commands. It's working now, but if I can ask one more thing, how can I include a timestamp in the folder name? By that I mean I want to do this (Though this obviously isn...

Thanks so much to both of you.

Ok thank you, at least I know the syntax isn't wrong. I appreciate the help.

I'm trying to bind Ctrl + Window + p to back-up a directory to an incrementally timestamped folder instead of the original Windows shortcut. This is the script I'm using, but it doesn't do anything. I'm not sure if I'm using the wrong hotkey sequence to define it, or if there's something wrong with ...

Could someone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong here? The script is supposed to send: Enter Ctrl + 1 3 Enter 1 Enter 3,5 Enter 4,11 Enter 5 Enter Ctrl Then wait an hour. This is what I have, but it doesn't seem to be sending the commands properly. I also can't figure out how to debug what comm...

Code: Select all

~j::
    KeyWait, k, D T0.5
    if (ErrorLevel = 0)
        Send, {Esc}
return

Click KeyWait in the code box to bring up the help file.

Thank you so much.

I'm trying to figure out how I can turn two sequential keys pressed (j then k within 0.5 seconds) into a hot key to send escape. I found this script to create leader keys which is basically what this is, but it's hundreds of lines of code. Is there a simpler way? https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/vi...

Thank you, that was the problem. I appreciate the help.

I'm trying to use Tab + other keys as hotkeys only when a certain program is active/in focus. As is my script works, but completely disabled the tab key so I'm unable to use it to tab around. It also works all the time instead of only when the program is active, and my if statement is returning an e...

Thank you very much.

Is there a way to conditionally check if an app was in focus in the last x minutes? I want to back-up my project folder every 30 minutes, but only if I'm actively using VS Code. I'm planning on running a .cmd batch file using AHK, and I know how to check if a window is in focus, but am unsure how to...

Thank you, I was able to get it to work after some troubleshooting as well as defining the entire path instead of just the name.

I'm using Caps + V to open Visual Studio Code, but about half the time I use the shortcut it breaks the shortcut. And not always in the same way. Sometimes I'm unable to use Caps + V after opening or focusing on it one time, sometimes I'm not able to use any hotkeys, sometimes it works fine. I'm goi...

That works, thank you.

I have a script that sends a VIM command for substituting text when pressing CapsLock & s. The command works, but for some reason CapsLock remains on when I press CapsLock & s despite the code seeming like it should be keeping it off. Any idea what's happening here? CapsLock & s:: SetCapsLockState, ...
