AutoHotkey 1.1.37.00 SciTE4AHK 3.1.0 OS: Windows 10 Pro I recently found that SciTe4AHK had been updated to version 3.1.0. I downloaded it and installed to replace my SciTe4AHK version 3.0.06.01. On install I ran into several problems with the new version: On double-clicking an .ahk script the scrip...

Thank you Tensai. I think it is really a bug with the compiler, though it might be a Windows issue to or a combination of both. I'll try posting it up once I get some spare time. It's not a serious issue, but would be worth fixing (IMHO).

Now that AutoHotkey v2 is released will AutoHotkey v1.1 still be being developed? The reason I am asking is that I think I stumbled across a bug in v1.1 but there would be little point in trying to raise the issue if development of v1.1 has come to an end.

Thank you so very, very much Boiler. Went with the 'X' option and it works just fine. Will go and do some research on both the options you pointed to. Thanks again!

I have following code: FormatTime, CurrentDate,, dddd`, dd MMMM yyyy :*:hc address::Test Address`r10/28 Elm Street`rEdinburgh`rMid Lothian`rEH12 5EL`r`r%CurrentDate%`r`r It is meant to auto-type an address and then the current date. However, if I run it I get the following output: Test Address 10/28...

Thanks very much Mike. I did as you indicated and that fixed that issue. But then the interpreter started finding serial other errors in the script I was trying to translate into v2.0: at that I definitely threw in the towel. I'll forget a about v2.0 and just stumble my way around v1.1 which works f...

Sorry for posting in the wrong forum. Have spent the last 20 minutes trying to read the document you point to and quickly ended up utterly baffled. I think I'll just stick with my AHK 1.1 script, it works and I'm happy with it anyway. I don't have the makings of a coder in me. Ah, well... Another li...

I am tinkering around with AutoHotkey v2.0. For part of my tinkering I have the following block of code (which is just a snippet of a much longer complete code): While WinActive(winTitle) { ;Input, key, VL1, % "" key := InputHook(VL1, "") Switch { Case !WinActive(winTitle) , StrLen(ErrorLevel) > 3: ...

Thanks very much for the response — appreciated!

Newbie to AutoHotkey with a very basic question. There are two ways to run a script: (1) you can run the script directly via AutoHotkey or (2) you can compile the script and run the exe file directly. Fine. However, if I do '1' what happens in how the script is running. Is the script in a constant s...

You can delete EndKeys in the statement... If you do not want any EndKeys, then you do not need to use them. Ah, a light-bulb switched on at that! I was worried about just deleting some of the { keys } willy-nilly without knowing what I am doing. However I have now deleted several of them that I th...

Thanks Mike but after trying to research what you are saying I am none the wiser — getting old now and it shows at times. However, I think I am one step forward on working out what is going wrong, but I am clueless as to how to fix it. This morning I spent a couple of hours just typing and see if I ...

I am having a problem with this script: ; This script will automatically capitalise the first character of a new sentence. ; It is a modification of a script supplied by "mikeyww" at https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=76&t=103709 ; Basically I just reversed the logic of the script Mik...

Thank you again.

Well last night I thought that it would work better for me if I could make a group of programs for ahk_exe inclusion (not ahk_exe exclusion) in this script. That meant I would have to reverse the logic of the script. Tried for two hours and couldn't do it so went to bed. Got up this morning and trie...

Thanks very much Mike, that works! There is no way I would have stumble-stepped my way to that!

No, I'm not going to get this. I have tried stuff using 'if' and am just tying myself in knots with frustration. Does anyone know how I get this script to only work in specified programs/windows? I've tried googling this too but all the advice is use #IfWinactive ... And so on. Driving me nuts with ...

I have the following script which I found on this forum though I added the "GroupAdd" instructions to the script myself. ; This script will automatically capitalise the first character of a new sentence. ; Original script was by someone called "Laszlo" but was posted by "Benirons". ; Source: https:/...

You can run a script that way by making a copy of AutoHotkey.exe...

Ah, yes! Got it now, works a treat. Thank you, Mike!

You can also show the command line, which includes the path to the script.

Sorry mike, I'm a fairly naïve user of AutoHotkey so I don't understand what you are trying to say.
