I really wish to see async method in v2, or other possibility to create a worker thread

you could use AHK_H

Have you tried SetTimer with Period = -1

hello,
do you have exemple code?

Try this: I hope that helps.

This is AHK v1 code!
AHK v2 does not yet offer multithreading, As far as I know.

If your question is not aimed at me, ignore please and sorry. AHK_H is the way to go, as mentioned before.

in my opinion async implementation must be the priority for AutoHotkey v2

Something along the lines of Promises as in JavaScript would be helpful. I’ve considered trying to implement it myself but haven’t taken the dive yet.

You can also execute code as a new process. See Run example #3 (ExecScript).

I think this is outside the scope of v2.0 or the development forum. Perhaps Ask for Help/v2 would be more appropriate to explore the current options, otherwise Wish List (although in that case there are sure to be existing topics that cover this).

Something similar is needed for despite there being work-arounds. Hopefully we not Promises though.

Care to explain your dissatisfaction with Promises?

They're hard to understand initially, very verbose, and their generalized structure is the monad (which Promises are not.) I skimmed through a few of these articles. 1, 2
