Does anyone have any starter code?

[omar]

I've got a nice autokey assigned.
I type #ahk
And I get:

Code: Select all

#SingleInstance force
;===============================
/*
Put code details here.
*/
;===============================
MsgBox, ,, AutoHotKey now loaded and ready to be used, 0.5

; Start coding in the line below.

#F10::Reload ;<- Windows Key + F10 causes the script to reload itself

This Gives me a good headstart.

Anyone else have anything similar - hoping some of you will tell me about some other essential settings I might be missing.

Thanks.

Hi omar,

Alternatively, you can customize the template lines - the template file is located @ C:\Windows\ShellNew\Template.ahk.
If your looking for interesting and relevant settings to implement to your template you might be interested in this thread: New AutoHotkey Script Template.

Hope this helps.

I generally use (For the template file) this header:

Code: Select all

/*

	Title:							SomeTitle

My header hotstring currently specifies this:

Code: Select all

#SingleInstance force
ListLines, Off
#KeyHistory 0
Menu, Tray, Click, 1
#NoEnv
AutoTrim, Off
#UseHook

SplitPath, A_ScriptName,,,, vScriptNameNoExt
Menu, Tray, Tip, % vScriptNameNoExt

since it looks like we're posting headers, heres mine:
