I just came across HotkeylessAHK, this is amazing and one of the best stuff I found on the internet.

I tried sending params but failing, would really appreciate if you could guide me somewhere.
Please do let me know if you need more information.

Hi Arif,

using parameters in calls is currently not supported. However, there is a simple solution that I also use in my personal scripts, e.g., here: https://github.com/sebinside/AutoHotkeyScripts/blob/master/source/lib/StreamDeckFunctions.ahk#L133

The idea is to make a parameterized function (e.g., ScarlettVolume) and then create parameterless functions that call this function (e.g., ScarlettVolume10) that call this function and can be called using HotkeylessAHK. If there are not that many different parameter variations, this works fine. If you need more variability, you would have to extend both the server and the AHK library of HotkeylessAHK. Feel free to make an issue or fork with that functionality, if required.

Best,
Sebastian

I plan to take this approach where I will share params via ini file, call function, and guide the function to read params from ini files.
