Hotkeys for Google Earth

[orto]

Hello.
I would like to create a hotkey (ctrl + s) to save the current kml file.
Please help me.

I was experimenting with the desktop version. It would be straightforward to use ImageSearch to find and click on the "Copy" icon, and then use FileAppend to save the text to a file. If you need more details, feel free to post.

mikeyww, thank you very much for your reply!

I have a kml file.
I would like to reposition the label and save the result.
To do this, I right-click on and select “Save Place As...” (Screen1).

This will open a Windows Explorer window (Screen2).

I would like to avoid these steps.
So that I can press “Ctrl + S” and so that the current kml file is saved. Without any windows appearing.


* I am using Google Translate.

This worked in my test.

Code: Select all

kml = %A_ScriptDir%\test.kml

#IfWinActive ahk_exe googleearth.exe
F3::
Clipboard := ""
Send ^c
ClipWait, 0
If ErrorLevel {
 MsgBox, 48, Error, An error occurred while waiting for the clipboard. Aborting.
 Return
} Else FileRecycle, %kml%
FileAppend, %Clipboard%, %kml%
Run, notepad.exe "%kml%"
Return
#IfWinActive

mikeyww, thank you so much!
This will help me a lot.
Sorry. After pressing F3, a text file opens for me.
Is it possible to prevent the text file from opening? So that the changes are immediately saved to the kml file. Without opening any windows.

Yes. You can delete line 13.
