Script for sending Enter automatically after finishing the typing Topic is solved

[soheill0098]

I am using a dictionary program for PC. when I'm typing on the search bar of the application I should press Enter every time after I finish typing the word(s) so that the program search for the word. I want an autohotkey script for the application in order to automatically sending Enter after I finished typing the word. so the script should automatically send Enter after I didn't type for instance for 0.75 second at the end of typing ( I'm doing touch typing so I assume it takes less than a 0.75 second for me to press two buttons although the time might be adjustable). So can you please help me with this?
Thanks in advanced!

Code: Select all

#InstallKeybdHook
lag := 500
Loop {
 WinWaitActive, ahk_exe notepad.exe
 Sleep, lag
 SoundBeep, 1500
 SetTimer, Check, 100
 WinWaitNotActive
 SetTimer, Check, Off
 SoundBeep, 1000
}
Check:
last := typing, typing := A_TimeIdleKeyboard < lag
If !last || typing
 Return
Send {Enter}
SoundBeep, 1700
Return

Change "notepad" to match your own program.

I did but still doesn't work( it worked in notepad)

It is a screen shot of windows spy for the application should I use "Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary" after Winactivate, ?

Also I wrote the script under

Code: Select all

#IfWinActive Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary

Maybe that caused the problem.

#IfWinActive works only for hotkeys & hotstrings. You could try the following.

Code: Select all

#InstallKeybdHook
lag := 500
Loop {
 WinWaitActive, Oxford Advanced Learner
 Sleep, lag
 SoundBeep, 1500
 SetTimer, Check, 100
 WinWaitNotActive
 SetTimer, Check, Off
 SoundBeep, 1000
}
Check:
last := typing, typing := A_TimeIdleKeyboard < lag
If !last || typing
 Return
Send {Enter}
SoundBeep, 1700
Return

Thank you very much! I opened another file and put the script and it works now! but is it possible to do it somehow without the annoying beep beep sounds? Also it sends Enter several times instead of one time.

You can certainly delete the beep lines.

You might want to increase the lag.

You are right! It was stupid of me!
