I want to store these GUI edit box parameters permanently

Post by Raghava Doregowda » 07 Jun 2023, 02:51

Below is the Code I've partially developed. I want to assign the Numpad keys (which I never use most of the time) to links/URLs to be opened specifically in chrome browser. I've developed this GUI so that a user need not access a AHK code and attempt to understand the code in order to customize the links every time. He/she should be able to press say the Numpad + button to open up this GUI and edit the links/URLs.
I have a problem however with "permanently" storing the links in such a way that even after shutdown/restart, I want the numpad keys to continue working to open the saved links. How do I go about that?

Code: Select all

; #Warn  ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.
SendMode Input  ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%  ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.

Just something to think about if you are developing scripts for other users. While you might never use the numpad keys, many other users use them all the time. Your script may seriously impede their normal use of the keyboard.

I was just typing out my mind :dance: And yes if one wants to change it then he/she can change it to a modifier key combo with numpad keys.
