Others here may know the way. How and when are you running your four-line script file? It just runs and then exits immediately afterwards? What is in your text file when the script fails? Have you confirmed that the script successfully reads your text file? Can you post a screenshot of the error mes...

Test in Notepad to see how it works. Use this script with no other code and no other scripts running.

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v1.1.33.11

*2::
SetKeyDelay 25, 25
While GetKeyState("2", "P")
 SendEvent {Blind}2
Return

In v2, coordinates are relative to the active window's client area unless CoordMode is used to change that.

Welcome to this AutoHotkey forum! Coordinates are relative to the active window's client area unless CoordMode was used to change that.

You can run the script that is posted.

You can try blind mode with your Send.

Code: Select all

SendEvent {Blind}1

Ensure that you are using the wildcard hotkey modifier as shown.

Welcome to this AutoHotkey forum! Whether a script works depends on what you want the script to do. I suggest that you provide a description of that. If you are new to AHK, I recommend using its current version, which is v2, instead of this older deprecated version that is no longer developed. #Requ...

Welcome to this AutoHotkey forum!

Probably your mistake, but if you have a script that does not work, you can post it in the forum to get specific feedback about it.

mikeyww

Welcome to this AutoHotkey forum! You are mistaken. Code following an infinite loop (within the same thread) does not execute because the loop is infinite. I would shorten your script, re-test, and then be more specific about what your script does, and what it should do, step by step. Include an exa...

Welcome to this AutoHotkey forum! The AHK documentation may be a useful reference for you. This forum can also be searched for any sort of issue or solution. You may find that your questions have already been answered, once or hundreds of times! Enjoy. #Requires AutoHotkey v2.0 F3:: { Static on := F...

Hello,

When the sound is muted, the muting is on.

Welcome to this AutoHotkey forum! You'll need to change the syntax to be v2 syntax. You can find all of that syntax, including examples, in the documentation. V2 uses expressions throughout. #Requires AutoHotkey v2.0 Send '{Enter}' #Requires AutoHotkey v2.0 ^3:: { Loop 20 { Send '{a}' Sleep 1000 Sen...

You indicated that the script usually works. Are you running other scripts or programs that also manage or interact with the clipboard at the same time? That is my only thought. Others here may have more insight into this. Incidentally, := does not need to force an expression via % because it is alw...

mikeyww

The pipe is not an AHK parameter; it is part of your command line. The PID is an AHK parameter. Thus, use the syntax that AHK provides, as follows. ExitCode := RunWait(Target [ , WorkingDir, Options, &OutputVarPID ] ) The target is your entire command line. Some programs will not return a PID or wil...

mikeyww

Yes. The page that you cited notes the following possible target types: ToolTip, Pixel, Mouse, Caret, and Menu. Take your pick.

mikeyww

Hello, "Doesn't work" says nothing about what your script does, and nothing about what your script should do. I did not test it, but a few tips are below. One script has two RunWait commands. The other does not use RunWait and does not have two such calls, but only one, so there are at least two dif...

Hello,

This may or may not work, depending on your situation.

CaretGetPos

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0
running := False

F3:: {
 Global running := True
 WinActive('A')
 SetKeyDelay 100
 Loop 12
  If WinExist() {
   If !WinActive()
    WinActivate
   SendEvent A_Index ' '
  }
}

#HotIf running
F3:: {
 RunWait A_WinDir '\System32\notepad.exe'
 Global running := False
}
#HotIf

I do not know whether that is the problem, but it could be related-- worth exploring in any case. Good luck!
