Trying to figure out the syntax for continuous sections

[imkira3]

I'm trying to put a multi-line script onto a single line. I have tried && and `r and `n and `r `n, it looks like `r is newline but I keep getting errors no matter what I try. I can't seem to find detailed information on this anywhere. Here is the code, I'm trying to combine lines 3-7

Code: Select all

A_NumLock := "TEXT"

+NumLock::{
WinActivate "ahk_class" "Shell_TrayWnd"
ToolTip A_NumLock, 0, 1000000
Sendinput "!{Esc}"
}

SetTimer () => ToolTip(), 5000

You’re trying to do something that is not allowed. I don’t see why you think using AHK’s representation of a line break character would somehow fool the interpreter into thinking they’re really separate lines.

I'm used to using one line per bind, it's easy to organize. I was hoping to find a simple method to do so, and why would I not think a character that's meant to represent a line break would act as one? I do something similar in Notepad++ using \r\n

OK. Well, it doesn’t.

[imkira3]

Then I will try and find another method that works

There isn’t one. As I said, it’s not allowed.

You could make an expression where you call several functions in the same line, but that’s not the same as combining lines into one.

Example:

Code: Select all

Tab::MsgBox("Hello..."), MsgBox("world")

…but that not combining lines in general. You couldn’t combine loops, code blocks, etc., this way.

That sounds promising, and it might save space too. I don't mind having supplemental code above or below the list of binds, like how line 1 sets the text variable. That's important for user customization. All I'm trying to do is have the list of binds compacted. Right now it looks like this:

Code: Select all

NumpadDiv::^z
^NumpadDiv::numpaddiv
!NumpadDiv::^numpad1
<#NumpadDiv::launch_app1
>#NumpadDiv::launch_app1
NumpadMult::^y
^NumpadMult::numpadmult
!NumpadMult::^numpad2
<#NumpadMult::Run "C:\Users\%A_UserName%"&&"C:\Users\" A_UserName ""
>#NumpadMult::Run "C:\Users\%A_UserName%"&&"C:\Users\" A_UserName ""
NumpadSub::^s
^NumpadSub::numpadsub
!NumpadSub::^numpad3
<#NumpadSub::launch_app2
>#NumpadSub::launch_app2
...

I like it like this, keeps things organized on several levels, but if the Shift section is gonna eat up 5 lines for each button that's gonna fluff it out, I'll have to scroll a lot more while I work. It seems like a small thing, but it can be a big deal as code gets bigger. I was working on this one code that had about 60,000 files, I couldn't even edit it without bulk replace tools, it was too big so I became really organized because I had to.
