Thanks very much! Now I see it's actually mentioned in the beginning of the docs, in the Concepts and Conventions page. However when I google "ahk env var", the build-in variables page comes first, so I didn't find the answer initially.

There are native window env variables that AHK doesn't have with `A_variable`s. For instance, the %HOMEPATH% env variable of windows points to C:\Users\{username}, but there's no equivalent A_HOMEPATH. Another example is %LOCALAPPDATA% which points to C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local. Is there a wa...

Hi @StefOnSteroids and @swagfag, thanks so much for your inputs. I don't know what I did, but my issue disappeared on its own, it's really strange. I'll report back if I find out why. But thanks for your help!

I did something like this: ; In VSCode, use alt + ↑↓←→ to move cursor fast #IfWinActive ahk_exe Code.exe !Left::Send {left 10} !Right::Send {right 10} !Up::Send {Up 5} !Down::Send {Down 5} #IfWinActive It works as intended, but the problem is when I press ctrl + alt + ↑↓←→ , they fire too, which ren...

Suppose I remapped my / this way: ; semicolon + k = / `; & k::/ ; restore semicolon `;::; Now, if I want to have the following hotstring: ; never forget adding a space after // :*://:://{space} It won't fire if I use my remapped / , but will fire if I use the native / . Is there a way to make both w...

I have this hotstring: itll::it'll It works as intended. However, sometimes I forget I have it, and I manually type out it'll , then it'd turn into iit'll . At first I didn't know why, but then I found out it's because my ' (apostrophe) was a remapped key. If I use the original ' on the keyboard as ...

Hi Rohwedder,
Thanks for your answer! Does it work on your computer?

A simplified example: 1::a 2::b ::ab::hello I want to trigger Line 3 by typing 12, but it will only trigger on typing ab, not on 12. By some googling, I found people saying it could be done by InputLevel , I tried, but not successful. I also found people saying it could be done by separating them in...

Suppose I have this hotstring in my script: ::star::★ If I write my script with Sublime Text, and save as UTF-8, the hotstring will output some gabled text like 鈽�. If I then open this script with notepad, and save again, the issue will be fixed. The hotstring will correctly output ★. But if I then ...

Thanks for your answer Noesis, is this how it's supposed to work? Is it in the documentation? Thanks!

Hi, I have a question, when I did this: It worked as intended. However if I flip the order of these two lines, the ^= stops working and functions as ^{End}. So it seems the order counts, but I didn't find the reference in the help file about such ordering ?

Hi, I remapped my "l" key to right arrow: l::Right however I don't want to change the original behavior of ^l #l !l +l etc, so I figured I could do: #InputLevel 1 l::Right #InputLevel 0 ^l::^l #l::#l +l::+l !l::!l ^!l::^!l ^+l::^+l !+l::!+l but this is pretty ugly, so my first question is : Is there...

Hi, what is the cleanest way to write "if ScrollLock is on, toggle it off when any key is pressed, except for w,a,s,d or shift"? Thanks very much! Background: I remapped my RAlt to ScrollLock, and want to use w,a,s,d as arrow keys when ScrollLock is on, but want to toggle back when any key is pressed

I like the first one! It does the job! Thanks so much!

Yes, I edited that, because it was very misleading. In the original OP, I said I did two things:A. !Backspace::Send {Delete} B.^!Backspace::Send ^{Delete} A was very natural, because it's exactly how you press delete on a mac. Originally I thought A was the reason why B triggered Ctrl-Alt-Delete, ho...

For some personal reason, I need to set this: However, it doesn't work as intended, because it triggers the Windows Ctrl-Alt-Delete.
The weird thing is I didn't even press Delete, what I pressed was Backspace.
Is there a way to fix it? Thanks very much!!
