If I define this hotkey to automatically enter the word "WordPress": :*:xw::WordPress Typing "xw can" works as expected. It results in: WordPress can But if I type "xw will" (or any other word beginning with "w") It results in this: WordPresWordPress As you see, it repeats "WordPress" and also sucks...

Thanks so much to you and gregster for these helpful tips.

Era

Thank you, jeeswg for this helpful reply. And for all you do for AHK!

And thank you, IMEime, for this helpful tip. I'll look into it.

One final query: Does anyone know of a way to search this forum for a precise phrase (such as duplicate numpad)? Quotes don't work.

Thanks,
Era

Era

OK. I partly solved this with this code: NumpadUp:: send, numeric keypad up return Up:: send, main keyboard up return But I still can't quite get the hotstring version working. GoaI: I'd like to reassign the set of keys that duplicate the numeric keypad on my keyboard. For example, there is a Home k...

Thank you! I'll experiment with these...

I'd like to simulate a mouse-click on this button. How can that be done? Here's the Chrome HTML for the button: <button class="btn btn-success" ng-click="$ctrl.submit()" ng-disabled="!$ctrl.canSubmitReply()"> <span translate="DISCUSSION_SUBMIT_REPLY" ng-if="!item" ng-show="!submitting" aria-h...

Thanks again for this explanation. Yes, soundbeep works. I have a souped-up Alienware computer so maybe it's just flying past the audio. When I add Wait, there's a brief, quiet, high-frequency bip, nothing else.

Era

Thanks for this. I'm going to save it to use in other scripts, after I figure it out!
Something strange on my machine: had to add a Wait command to the SoundPlay to hear anything...

Era

You and most of us. What's the use of those differently punctuated variable names? Makes no sense to me

Era

Isn't there an AHK equivalent of something like this:

If Asc(s) > 96 Then
s = UCase(s)
Else
s = LCase(s)
End If

Era

Thank you, gregster. I need to figure out #persistent.

swagfag's use of:

SetTimer, % fn, 50

makes me wonder how much of an impact running timers like this has on the CPU usage.

Thanks for the info on the directives/commands. I think I need to calm down and do more reading about how AHK works.

Era

Thank you. This seems more generalized and certainly more sophisticated than my version. I can't test it though because my version is running (it's in my ahk startup file) and I don't yet know how to selectively turn off running scripts. Also, I don't fully understand how your code works, but I'll s...

Here's my solution to a problem that's been plaguing me for years, but is there something better? (Purer, more programmatic code than that found in my newbie script below?) When I open the File Explorer window, the scrollbar is always halfway down so you can't even see the (so called) Quick Access z...

Era

I understand your point. When I've learned more about v1, I'll study v2. Maybe have some suggestions. In the meantime, I do hope they decide to eliminate :=

Era

You know best. To me, though, it does have to do with V2. Sorry I didn't respond to your query.

You prove your main argument that the over head of OOP exists. You have not yet defeated the counter argument that the over head gives the programmer better abilities over the long run. You're right, but I don't think proof is possible because the dispute isn't fundamentally about programming; it's...

Era

In any sensible programming language, Hello World! would require only a single line of code, not ten. So, by effectively proving my primary argument (although clearly you are quite unconscious of having done so), I must hope that you become at some point aware that your blithe self-confidence can be...

Era

My dear Mr. ? SwagFag: Functions can be provided with input/output descriptions via comments...so you don't need to tax your pretty head with reading the code within. I/O comments are quite like OOP in that way, without the messy code hiding and cascade. You can tell people what to put in , and wha...

How many times, gregster??

just using it as an example, this was posted just a while ago: https://autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=48182 full disclosure, i hit expand, scrolled past 5 screenfuls of text and instantly my gut wrenched with aversion. i didnt even want to try and read, let alone comprehend the code the...
