Activate window, whether it's in the taskbar or system tray Topic is solved

To activate a window, I use this:

Code: Select all

; Ctrl + Alt + K: switch to KeepassXC
^!K::
if WinExist("ahk_exe KeePassXC.exe") {
   WinActivate  ; Uses the last found window.  
   }
Return

But it doesn't work when the program is in the system tray.
How can I modify the hotkey?

Close multiple instances of Skype.exe

Skype notoriously likes to hang around without closing. In the past I had a simple hotkey that worked with a Process, Close, Skype.exe Recently this stopped working as there are five or six Skype.exe processes at the same time. I tried this but it didn't work (no processes seem to be killed): ^!F4::...

Re: My new favorite AHK editing environment: EditPad with MishMash

By the way it doesn't look like you updated the ahk scheme within EPP as the two issues you reported yesterday haven't been fixed on your screenshot — they should be.

Re: My new favorite AHK editing environment: EditPad with MishMash

You got it! :dance: Yes, it takes a moment to understand how EPP does colors. That separation of interests (syntax vs. colors) makes sense but the implementation is less than intuitive. If you see any bugs or missing features in the syntax highlighting, let me know. I've probably ignored a number of...

Re: My new favorite AHK editing environment: EditPad with MishMash

That looks right but I'm not going to diff the file to check every detail, I assume you got there from the GitHub link in my top post and you went to the MishMash section and selected the EPP8 version. Check it out, I think you'll find it makes a bit difference to my various syntax-coloring schemes.

Re: My new favorite AHK editing environment: EditPad with MishMash

In the Settings screenshot you sent me, the first pull-down is for the color palette. This is where you say that you want to use MishMash (you'll need to import the INI file which you found on GitHub). Remember, setting the colors in EPP is a two-step dance: 1. Selecting the "Syntax-coloring scheme"...

Re: My new favorite AHK editing environment: EditPad with MishMash

First off, did you change the colors? This doesn't look like my version of MishMash. Or maybe you didn't specify MishMash as the color palette to work with the syntax-coloring scheme? Regarding the strange highlighted words such as Atypicality , I had allowed spaces between the function name and the...

Once again, it's on GitHub. See point 2 after the TL;DR.

Re: My new favorite AHK editing environment: EditPad with MishMash

Hey there, yes there is. Did you see the GitHub page in my post?
- at the top it explains how to install MishMash, the color definitions themselves (INI file)
- in the "how to install" section it explains how to install the AutoHotkey syntax-coloring scheme from within EPP8.

Re: jeeswg's sort algorithms mini-tutorial

Just came across your post and wow, that's terrific, @jeeswg Last year I posted a version of QuickSort for comments, but as some pointed out, it failed for large lists because of the recursion. Yours fixes that. Would you say that your "QuickSort in place" is your most efficient AHK sort at the mome...

Re: [v2 Function]Sort function - replace the built in one with something useable

I made a version for ahk arrays. To note, it copies the array, but it is a very simple implementation. Helgef Your code is way over my head, but I'm extremely interested in it because my own QuickSort recurses and fails for large lists. Would you be willing to share a version compatible wity Autono...

Re: Can't target ipython3.exe console Topic is solved

Also tried:

Code: Select all

#IfWinActive ahk_exe ipython3.exe 
^w::
   WinClose
Return
#IfWinActive
Nothing happens.
Would anyone happen to have a clue as to why hotkeys don't seem to work in that window?

Hi gwarble , thank you for sharing your ideas on this, really appreciate them. Will give it more thought when I find some time. Fortunately not needing to do much in MS Word.

Navigate between Bookmarks in MS Word

A script by Andy on the old forum inspired me to write something to jump between bookmarks in Microsoft Word. Ctrl + Up / Down are supposed to jump to previous / last bookmarks. It kind of works: we move location in the file, but MS Word's numbering of bookmarks doesn't seem to reflect the ordering ...
