Just a shout out to likethevegetable ! I just encountered your LNCHR app and really enjoyed working with it. I'm going to switch over a hundred or more of my hotkeys and menu concoctions to this way to tame the 'everything everywhere at once' capability of this creation. I conceived of this approach...

I just wanted to thank just me for this simple and wonderful GUI menu in V2. I made a couple of adjustments for my use to include a menu title without messing with the indexing for the array. I also added a Switch/Case section to place my actions based on the selection. I really like this way of qui...

Try again!

Oh my, it works just fine with double quotes. Must have fat fingered something else at the time.

JPMuir

I guessed until I found a solution. Putting width and height values in single quotes.

Maybe next go around on the help file, an example.

I had previously tried "" double quotes but they didn't work.

Code: Select all

NumberofDays := InputBox("Enter Number of Days","Days", 'w100 h120').value

My Code is to input number of days to add to the result inside a hotstring. My problem is getting the size of the input box down. My inputbox statement gives an error. How do I enter that parameter? ; v2 :*:/wi:: { ; Year and Week No with the date + number of days NumberofDays := InputBox("Enter Num...

to n00b, I tried to duplicate your error by closing some scripts within ahk_startup_v2 and reloading no error reported on my system. Mix of v1 and v2 scripts (8 total) all working as designed in the startup contained script.

JPMuir

☑ Yes, working now. Thanks FanaticGuru for digging out that solution. Wonderful application of Autohotkey for integrating multiple scripts in the desktop environment.

JPMuir

I use Autohotkey extensively on my desktop. I also use XYplorer constantly for file work, downloads, document storage, and of course containing Autohotkey scripts. Not much notation here on XYplorer, but I thought I might share two simple hotkeys that work to change tabsets in XYPlorer using a comma...

JPMuir

Good advice. I've got a lot to learn. So I'll practice a bit with some nonessential menu scripts until I get a feel for the complexity and working nature of the new version. I changed my menu.show hotkeys setting to ;Showtime ~LButton & RButton:: !RButton::SystemMenu.Show and things are working cons...

JPMuir

Oh, like being sick and going to the doctor, and when you get there, your fine. Dang, Soon as I posted this, the menu began to open on main monitor(1) just like it was designed, using either hotkey.. Still puzzled, not sure why it hasn't been working at all (several reboots as well in between) and t...

When I completed the configuration of files and paths, I received an error.
I've been using V1 currently without any problems, but v2 gives me the error I pictured.

I'm just not sure what to do at this point. Any guidance?

Not a download utility but a good handy "screen capture" utility for those problem videos. Check out source to try (in GitHub) is ShareX - I used it with an Autohotkey menu to activate its built-in hotkey configurations which include both snapshot and video capabilities including an MP4 direct recor...

; AHK Startup ; Fanatic Guru ; ; Version: 2023 03 16 Thanks to Fanatic Guru. In addition to Windows 11, Windows Update 2023-03 for Windows 10- Version 22H2 for x64 based systems (KB5023696) also caused consolidation of tray icons failure. I updated the AHK_Startup and all is well here. Many thanks ...

I did run into a problem with my media folder. For some reason the icons in some of the music files/folders choked the popupmenu and rendered it in error. I had to disconnect my music folder from the popup. The error was "couldn't load icon" and I suspected some were malformed or problematic. I have...

What about to use greenshot's command line options instead triggering it via its hotkeys?

Greenshot planning some options like this, but the command line options available now do not include an option.
Previous post I found the solution

JPMuir

Bobo and mikeyww Solution was related likely to one of the scripts I've borrowed perhaps including a brief, but persistent and shortlived tooltip on the menu item selected (clicked). I noticed the same phenomenon on all the menu selections of the menu in the popup having a quick tooltip showing up w...

JPMuir

Thanks Bobo, and I think probably not Greenshot, as I've seen this tooltip before I installed Greenshot yesterday. I used to have to move the mouse to the lower monitor to activate in order to avoid the tooltip showing in the snap. My puzzle is why it happens when I use AHK menu and Not when I press...

JPMuir

I routinely use snapshots of images, text, and windows in my daily routines. I've used various snipping tools, Snip and Sketch, now GreenShot mapped to the [Prt Scr] button. Off and on, mostly on, I get an annoying tooltip when I initiate a capture. the photo illustrates the issue. Not just annoying...

JPMuir

Of course, choosing ^f for my tests was great for the tests, but it also wiped out the possibility of "finding anything" in any app! Best to choose another combination of keys.
