I haven't completely checked TheCrether 's code, but I am using these two functions to carry out a lot of tasks in the file explorer of Windows 10. Explorer_GetSelection() Description: Returns the currently selected items [folder(s)/file(s)] in the file explorer. (I don't know whether it works on Wi...

I've updated the ToolTipEx.
Those issues you mentioned should be fixed now.

Thanks for the quick fix! It works perfectly now.

iamMG

I compared how ToolTipEx and ToolTipX performed and found out that the former causes delays when called repeatedly, while the latter immediately updates the tooltip text, although the timeout is affected (it is not reset and gets reduced). Can you look into this? Here's a script in which I am using ...

Hi all. Is there a general script/library/function that is able to detect when the user has focus on a text edit field/area (such as the one I am typing this post into, or browser URL bar, or Notepad, etc.)? I found this post which most probably worked for v1: https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewt...

You might want to have an unconditional KeyWait at the end of your function. Wow, that did it. Haha. This forum has oodles of tap-hold scripts in case any of them give you additional tips! Thanks, I found out about TapHoldManager . Do you reckon if any other script/library is better than this one?

Hi, I've made a function that can perform two tasks. One is when the Hotkey is pressed for a short duration (0.2 second in this case). The other is when it is pressed for more than this duration. #requires AutoHotkey v2.0 #singleInstance force persistent $F1:: longPress("{Volume_Mute}") $F3:: longPr...

I am facing this error while using Acc v2 library. image.png I have placed Acc.ahk in the Lib folder where the script is placed. image.png What am I doing wrong? Here's the code: #requires AutoHotkey v2.0 #include <Acc> #HotIf winActive("WhatsApp ahk_exe ApplicationFrameHost.exe") ; WHATSAPP ^e:: { ...

Thanks for the quick reply.

While browsing your Github, I came across ToolTipEx. I compared its code with the ToolTipX script I mentioned earlier, and found out that they are different.
Can you please tell which one is superior/superseded? Or do they serve different purposes?

iamMG

Nice script as always @NPerovic!

I am using ToolTipX script as a library. I found it here: viewtopic.php?p=515335#p515335.
Can you incorporate the system-aware feature in that as well?

Much appreciated.

Edit: Btw, I followed you on Github.

Hi A_AhkUser , I converted your script to v2 using the QuickConverter tool. However, it is not working for me. Can you tweak the code please? I'd really appreciate it. ; REMOVED: #NoEnv #SingleInstance force #Warn i := 0 #HotIf not (caretViaAcc()) e:: { global i ToolTip(++i) } #HotIf caretViaAcc() {...

Thanks for the reply. I got busy and couldn't reply earlier. I ended up doing this: keyWait %key% , D send {%key%} keyWait %key% , T%timeout% if ErrorLevel send {Backspace}{%secondary%} key can be any digit (0 to 9), secondary is their respective 'Shift' usages (0: ) , 1: ! , .... , 9: ( , etc.). ti...

This code sends '1' when I press and hold the '1' key for less than 0.3 seconds, and '!' if held for more than 0.3 s. $1:: keyWait 1 , T0.3 if !ErrorLevel send {1} else send {!} keyWait 1 return This works as expected. However, if I press any other key in a quick succession after a short-press '1', ...

Hi, I made this script to auto-enable Dark mode for MS Word using a simple click on the entry in the Tray menu. #persistent menu tray , NoStandard menu tray , add , Dark Mode , ToggleDarkMode iniRead darkModeEnabled , Settings.ini , Settings , darkModeEnabledEntry ToggleDarkMode: if !darkModeEnabled...

Thanks @Rohwedder. I had to add '$' modifier to the 'F1' key in the first line. Then it worked perfectly fine.

Final script is:

Code: Select all

$F1::	
	keyWait F1, T0.2
	if !ErrorLevel
		send {F1}
	else send {volume_mute}
	keyWait F1
return

Hi, Some of the function keys on my laptop keyboard support dual functions. The F1 key also serves as mute button when pressed along with the Fn key. I want to make it a hotkey so that a short-press causes it to behave normally, while a long-press (longer than 200 ms) causes the Mute functionality. ...

I have written this script to Mute video calls in Skype by pressing 'M' key (By sending Ctrl+M). To not trigger the hotkey when I am typing in the chat window and need to use the letter 'M', I came up with this workaround: Getting information from the cursor type. But of course, it works only when I...

Some like this ?

Holy cow, this worked! Thanks @Odlanir.

I really appreciate how amazing and helpful this community is.
Also, thanks for the input @gregster and @Rohwedder.

I always keep my desktop empty so that it looks aesthetically pleasing. I want to write a script which detects double-clicks on the Desktop and launches program tied to that area of click. For example, when the x-coordinate is between 0 to 100, and y-coordinate is between 0 to 50, it should launch W...

I assume, Task Manager - Google Chrome is meant as a literal string - you will have to wrap it into quotation marks in an expression.

This worked. Thanks!

Hi everyone. I want to use the Delete key to end a process in the Task Manager in Chrome. Both, the Task Manager and normal Google Chrome windows, have the same ahk_class (Chrome_WidgetWin_1), ahk_exe (chrome.exe) and ahk_pid (12080). So to differentiate between them I made use of WinTitle. Here is ...
