Hello, I have a question for experienced and veteran AHK users: Is there a script to emulate the smart paste function found in Word, where spacing is automatically adjusted, deleting or adding necessary spaces, depending on where the text is pasted? If there isn't one that I could use, where should ...

Yes, thank you very much, this has been very informative.

Thank you for taking the time to provide all this info.

Oh sorry, some more text in other message boxes:

Thank you for your patience in guiding me through this. I ran the script and get the following:

WindowsForms10.COMBOBOX.app.0.29531c8_r9_ad1

14 definitely sounds like a lot. Here's a screenshot of the program, with an arrow pointing to the Dropdown list I need to access. 2017-11-17_131730.png Getting the text in the ComboBox: I tried the script, but pressing q only gives me an empty message box. Does that mean it's not possible to get th...

Thank you so much, in case it helps clarify things further, here's some more info from Window Spy: Window Title, Class and Process: SDL Trados Studio ahk_class WindowsForms10.Window.8.app.0.29531c8_r9_ad1 ahk_exe SDLTradosStudio.exe Control Under Mouse Position: ClassNN: WindowsForms10.COMBOBOX.app....

Thank you! Two versions of the same control are:

On my desktop: WindowsForms10.COMBOBOX.app.0.29531c8_r9_ad14
On my laptop: WindowsForms10.COMBOBOX.app.0.201d787_r9_ad11

I'm afraid you code is way over my head, being just a newbie with AHK. How could I incorporate that into my script?

ndiaz

Thank you, I had seen that but I haven't understood how it might apply in this case. If I use SetTitleMatchMode, 2, will it also apply to the COMBOBOX control, or only to the Window title?

ndiaz

Hello, The program I'm using (SDL Trados Studio) doesn't always use the same ClassNN for controls, so for example, a script that I write on my desktop computer won't work on my laptop, and a colleague has mentioned that control names may even change on the same computer after closing and restarting ...

Thank you Barney, that sends "GOBACKGOBACKGOBACKGOBACKGOBACKGOBACKGOBACKGOBACKGOBACKGOBACKGOBACKGOBACK", etc. multiple times and never actually opens the Find and Replace window . I think I've found the solution: adding a $ in front of the hotkey, like this:

$^h::
Send GOBACK
Send ^h
return

ndiaz

Ctrl+H opens the Find and Replace window in a program I'm using. After running a Replace All operation, the cursor is left at the very last replacement, but I want it to go back to its starting position. I plan on doing this with a simple trick: inserting GOBACK at my current cursor position before ...

ndiaz

Problem solved! I've used MouseGetPos.

ndiaz

I've managed to make this work with a hotkey, as below: F5:: Controlclick, Find &Next, Find and Replace Sleep 1000 Controlclick, R&eplace All, Find and Replace return Now my question is, how do I adapt this so it will be triggered when I left click on the Replace All button? I think I need to create...

ndiaz

I have a program with the following behavior: When Replace All is clicked, nothing happens unless Find Next is clicked first, after which Replace All needs to be clicked again. What I'd like to do is: Whenever I click Replace All, I'd like Find Next to be clicked, a short pause, and then Replace All...

ndiaz

So here's my attempt to perform these steps: 1. Cut selection to clipboard 2. Insert desired tag pair (this would be the manual step, the script would have to bypass it somehow) 3. Move the cursor back inside the tag pair, paste the selection (which would preserve the trailing spaces, if any) and mo...

Thank you jeeswg, this is a program used by translators and the tags need to be added dynamically during translation. There's no way of knowing ahead of time where they should be placed, as they need to be applied to the translated text and always depend on the position of the tags in the source tex...

ndiaz

Thank you for that! I just tested it and it works perfectly, but as you have rightly pointed out, this is only good for tags that can be applied sequentially, which is not always the case. So I would like to explore your suggestion to still interact manually with Ctrl-Alt-Right and letting AHK autom...

ndiaz

Perhaps a short video will help explain it better: https://youtu.be/qbYV9-C53JM

There may be a simpler way of approaching the whole thing that I'm not seeing.

ndiaz

Thank you for the explanation. I'm working on fixing the brackets now. The reason I need multiple expressions is because the way the program works is that when there are multiple tag pairs in the same segment (sentence), the first tag pair is applied after pressing Ctrl+Alt+Right, but then to cycle ...

ndiaz

The following is working as intended: !8:: Send ^c Sleep 200 RegExMatch(clipboard,"\s+$",output) If output ; If var's contents are blank or 0, it is considered false. Otherwise, it is true, i.e., a trailing space is found Send ^!{Right}{Esc}{Right}{Left}%output%{Right}{Del} ;sequence of actions for...
