Thanks - that's what I've been looking for. It contains two great ideas: (1) Using the Input function to ensure that the assignment lasts just as long as needed. (2) exiting a whole script to end the temporary assignment. What's the "Send s" command for? I assume it's just left over from testing; I ...

Is there a way to allow for an alternative key to trigger an entry in a menu created with Menu Show ? The following code does not, as I hoped, allow the CapsLock key to trigger the same choice as the hotkey c , since the hotkey reassignment doesn't work while the menu is shown. Menu, TopMenu, Add, &...

Thanks. Both of your answers are solutions; I had to pick one and decided for gregster's since it concisely gets to the heart of it. I feel a bit embarrassed about my question now: If I had run the very example I posted I would easily have seen that difference. My original problem involved other key...

Is there any difference between the functionalities of hotkeys and remap?

In other words, are the following three interchangeable?

Code: Select all

; hotkey, long notation:
a::
	Send b
	Return
	
; hotkey, short notation:
a::Send b
	
; remap:
a::b

Does anyone know a way to assign priority, regardless which was run first?
(The two scripts run in the same window, so #IfWinActive won't help.)

If there are two scripts that act on the same hotkey, say good.ahk = x::MsgBox Goodstuff and better.ahk = x::MsgBox Betterstuff , is there a way to assure that one has higher priority, that is, if both are running the hotkey always triggers Betterstuff, regardless which was started first? Since I kn...

I see - RTFM

But on second thought: Shouldn't it in that case also omit the "2" from "121"?

Micromegas

Oh, of course! Thank you!

The following code output= Shards := StrSplit("11`txi", A_Tab, MaxParts := 2) output .= Shards[1] . "=" . Shards[2] . "`n" Shards := StrSplit("12`txii", A_Tab, MaxParts := 2) output .= Shards[1] . "=" . Shards[2] . "`n" Shards := StrSplit("xxxii`t32", A_Tab, MaxParts := 2) output .= Shards[1] . "=" ...

Scr1pter: Rather than demanding others change their attitude, it's usually better to look at one's own attitude first and try to behave so others can learn from the example. We can answer the question, no matter its font size: numpad0:: Input nextkey, L1, {Left}{Right} If ErrorLevel = EndKey:Left Se...

Thanks to both of you! To StefOnSteroids for backing me up and to swagfag for providing the link. One more item on my to-do list!

tsssss, i mean.... there are some pretty cryptic things in the docs, but claiming this as one of them is a bit far fetched imo The word "cryptic" is your choice of words. What exactly do you mean by "tsssss"? Even with only 3 esses , this can mean anything from disapproval to contempt. Do you disap...

I prefer WinWaitActive because the window class #32770 is displayed more or less quickly according to the speed of the CPU, load of processes and more. Of course; it was only for testing that I let it Sleep in the first place. I just had wanted to rule out the possibility that WinWaitActive fired b...

ControlFocus is not necessary Oh, indeed! So the A in Control, ChooseString, % DDLChoice, ComboBox2 ,A gets its reference from WinWaitActive not from ControlFocus . BTW, it also works with Sleep instead of WinWaitActive , (in which case one has to set the WinTitle, since there's no A ). (Not that t...

GuiControl... commands only work for controls belonging to the script's own windows (GUIs). Thank you, that confirms my suspicion. The text you quote, however, does not say that explicitly. It seems to me it would improve the help if the "only" part were stated as clearly as you put it. BTW, you ad...

Thanks, this works!

As I was just writing How to choose a string from a DropDownList , I realized I'm confused by the help. Content in the left sidebar lists two chapters that both deal with controls: Window \ Controls and Graphical User Interfaces . The former contains e.g. the command Control , while the latter has G...

I am trying to set a control in Notepad++, namely the Font name in the Style Configurator. It seems that there are two commands to do the job: Control and GuiControl . I tried both, but none changes the chosen string: #IfWinActive ahk_class Notepad++ +!1:: +!2:: ; Call Style Configurator: Send !t{do...

Found a workaround:

Code: Select all

#c::
	clipboard := bike
	Send ^v
	Return

Three minutes away from the keyboard work wonders!
