Remember spots to send clicks to Topic is solved

[ztoddw]

This seemed to me like it should be a pretty common and useful thing to a lot of people, so I'd be surprised if no one has a script already to do this...

I'm looking for a script to be able to assign certain spots on my screen, and assign a different hot key combination to each spot, to be able to have a click simulated on that spot when I press that hot key combination. I imagine I would click a button to tell the script I'm ready to assign a new spot, then I'll click on that new spot, then press the key or key combination I want to use as the trigger for it. Then every time I press that key combination after that, it will generate a click on that spot.

I looked a little at Pulover’s Macro Creator at https://www.macrocreator.com/ but that seems to just create a script, and doesn't automatically set up hotkeys for the places I click.

I want to be able to set up multiple places on screen to send clicks to by pressing different key combos.

You're right. What did you find in your forum search?

Code: Select all

map := {}, width := 250
Gui, Font, s10
Gui, Add, Text  , Center   w%width% vcoord
Gui, Add, Text  , xm                       , Hotkey:
Gui, Add, Hotkey, x+m yp-3 w190     vhk
Gui, Add, Button, xm       w%width% Default, OK

F3::
CoordMode, Mouse
MouseGetPos, x, y
GuiControl,, coord, (%x%,%y%)
Gui, Show,, Clicks
Return

ButtonOK:
Gui, Submit
map[hk, "x"] := x, map[hk, "y"] := y
Hotkey, %hk%, Clik, On
Return

Clik:
CoordMode, Mouse
MouseClick,, map[A_ThisHotkey].x, map[A_ThisHotkey].y
Return

GuiEscape:
GuiClose:
Gui, Hide

Didn't know you could skip declaring the nested object like this.

Code: Select all

Map := {}
Map[ hk , "x" ] := SomeValue

as opposed to something like this.

Code: Select all

Map := {}
Map[ hk ] := { X: SomeValue }

Thanks for sharing

You are welcome. Reference: https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/Objects.htm#Usage_Arrays_of_Arrays

table[x][y] := content ; A
table[x, y] := content ; B

If table[x] does not exist, A fails whereas B automatically creates an object and stores it in table[x].

Awesome sauce. I didn't find what I was looking for when I searched before. But this looks like what I was looking for. Kudos.
