UpDown with decimal variables (use Shift)

Hi all, I'm trying to work out how to do this... I have some code that allows me to use the UpDown control to change values by 0.1 increments. It's pretty simple but it works. I'm now trying to add functionality to jump by larger values if the user is holding shift. Here's the code that allows me to...

Re: Automate installation of AutoHotkey 1.x Topic is solved

Okay. So I just tried something to help you out - this was more of an experiment for me than anything else. You may have heard of something called "ChatGPT". It's an AI that can create scripts/code, etc. I just copy and pasted your request into it and it spat out the following. I'm at work and don't...

Referring to a text file as a Resource in compiled script

Hi All, Looking for some help with this. I have a text file that I need to include in my compiled script. But I can't have it left as a separate file, and it's too large to store as a variable in the script. So I can successfully add the file as a resource using : ;@Ahk2Exe-AddResource keys.txt Howe...

Turning AHK into $ profit?

I've found myself to be rather skilled with AHK, and I've managed to create quite a few extensive programs built entirely with AHK which have made huge procedural and efficiency improvements for places I've worked. I'm generally able to figure out a solution to almost any problem... I'd really like ...

Re: Multiple API calls at same time Topic is solved

If you can't make it work with AHK_H, a potential work around would be to have the script create and run another script for the API call, store the variable in an ini file and retrieve it with the primary script. You would have multiple scripts running synchronously and thus simulating a multiple th...

Re: Intercept hyperlink to display menu

Oh, that's clever! I like this...if the icon changes to a hand for more than 100ms, just display the popup menu, and selecting it will do the right thing. The right-click to copy link location would work, although I would need to put something together to see if it's too "noisy" or too slow. I thin...

Re: Using KeyWait with multiple options

The better way to do this would be to have ^+b turn on hotkeys for f/i/r and then (depending on how you wanted it to work, have each of those hotkeys turn off each other key again). Have a look here. I think something like this would achieve what you're after: #InstallKeybdHook ^+b:: ; keybind for c...

Re: Intercept hyperlink to display menu

You might be able to intercept clicks within the current application (being your web browser) and determine which cursor is currently being used with A_Cursor - as a link will typically always use the "hand" icon. If A_Cursor returns Unknown (a hand icon) then you could change a left click to a righ...
