Currently no Input command or function

Not even listed in the included AutoHotkey v2 Help documentation. :shock:

So, can't use Input, [ OutputVar, Options, EndKeys, MatchList] in any shape or form.

Sure, you can.
There is the more flexible InputHook() which is also now available in v1 (v1.1.31+).

Note this comment in the V2 changes doc:
Input (use InputHook; see its documentation for a comparison)
Doc is here:

Fair enough, but if there had been a deprecation notice in the v1 help docs instead of a footnote relegated to the remarks...
InputHook() is more flexible than the Input command

... I may not have needed to make this post ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, but thanks all the same. :thumbup:

The documentation for Input does not carry a depreciation notice because it is not deprecated. There are many commands in v1 that are not part of v2 yet still carry full status in v1.
