AutoHotkey Community

Mikeyww, as always, you have given me brilliant advice. I closed all ahk scripts (and clipboard managers), and Windows copies and pastes flawlessly. But when I try to use any ahk script which uses the clipboard, it still fails in the same way previously described. So something is wrong with my ahk s...

Mikeyww, thank you. I stopped using Ditto about a week ago to see if that helped.

I will now methodically try your testing procedure.

Mikeyww, I don't want to waste your time, so I will call Microsoft support and HP support to see if it is a Windows or HP issue. But briefly, here are the answers to your questions: "Are you asking a question about Microsoft Windows, a question about an AutoHotkey script, a question about AutoHotkey...

Nope, problem still occurring.

Thank you, CoffeeChaton! I'm still playing around with this, but the key value approach seems to be very helpful!!!

Uh-oh, I'm getting a "Menu Item Name Too Long" error when I have much text in a paragraph in my textfile. Does anyone know how to fix that error? I see that the normal maximum for menu item names is 260 characters. https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/v1/lib/Menu.htm . Is there a way to somehow increase ...

I think I figured it out. By changing the way my other script appends the clipboard textfile to the following, your script now works like a champ: Thanks!

Hallo Rohwedder! Thanks, your script is awesome. The one issue is that it can't paste the final line in textfile. Here's what it looks like when I press Win Z: Clipboard_05-14-2024_01.png When I click the last line, it just pastes "$583.76". In other words, the menu SHOWS "$583.765/13/2024 Refund of...

I've created a little AHK clipboard manager. I am having trouble creating a MENU out of the data in a text file in which I store my clips to show PARAGRAPHS. Specifically, this code works to show LINES in my menu: FilePath= C:\RunningListOClip.txt FileRead, Contents, %FilePath% Sleep, 1000 Clipboard...

I'm still banging my head against the wall ... For example, here's my current script trying to at least lower the priority of the auto-spawning (rootkit) scripts from HP and Microsoft: #Persistent Process, Priority, , High DetectHiddenWindows, On If A_IsAdmin && !RegExMatch(DllCall("GetCommandLine",...

I also enabled the Add 'Run with UI Access' on the script, but it still didn't work. HP bloatware resource-hogging services are still automatically respawning themselves.

Gregster, I am launching my script with administrator privileges. I haven't tried any of the other options listed in
"How do I work around problems caused by User Account Control (UAC)?"

For well over a year, I've been trying to get my AHK script which calculates a bunch of math, then automatically pastes the information (i.e. sends the resulting strings) to my Word accounting spreadsheets. The script works great EXCEPT when a self-spawning service (such as HP TouchPoint Analytics) ...

Upon further testing, it appears at this point as if the problem was corrupted files. Chkdsk /r seems (so far) to have fixed the problem.

Hi Mikeyww, I think I've solved the problem (although I'm still testing). I had 2 different AHK scripts with administrator privileges. I think that created some sort of conflict. When I removed the administrator privileges from one of those scripts, it seemed to fix the clipboard issue. I apologize ...

Virtually all of my AHK scripts center around writing to and reading from the clipboard. I use Ditto as my clipboard manager, and Windows 11 as my operating system. I'm writing to see if anyone else in the AHK community is experiencing problems with their Windows 11 clipboard and - if so - how they'...

Thank you, Rohwedder. I did have that working at one point, but it stopped working a couple of months ago.

My best guess is I accidentally changed some of the code.

My Autocorrect script contains a hotkey to toggle the script between active and suspended mode, and to show a tooltip as to the script's status: #a:: ; Win a toggles autocorrect on/off Suspend ToolTip,% a_isSuspended?"Auto Off":"Auto On", 1790, 1520 Return That works from WITHIN my Autocorrect scrip...

Thanks, Garry. I will take a look.

Thanks, william_ahk. I will take a look.
