Multiple Keyboard Setup

All,

This is how I setup my multiple keyboards with Autohothey.

There are other posts in the forum on how to achieve this setup, but I just figured that I would share mine.

The setup is pretty easy, but involves using HIDMacros to determine which keyboard you are using and your compiled autohothey script.

HIDMacros has a feature to launch programs, so in the run application box, I added the file path to my compiled script (exe) and then added a space and then the id of the script I want to run. The trick is to set up your script to accept command parameters and then return the correct script.

Here is how I setup the script before I compiled it:

;Receives Input
a=%1%

;Sends to Function
MyNewVar := ProcessAction(a)

;Function
ProcessAction(n)
{
if (n="word")
{
	run, winword.exe
}
else if (n="calc")
{
	run, calc.exe
}
else if (n="searchgoogle")
{
    send, ^c
    sleep 50
    run, http://www.google.com/search?q=%clipboard%
}

;end funtion
}

So the field in HIDMacros is this:

<filepathtoscript>\MyAHKScripts.exe word

<filepathtoscript>\MyAHKScripts.exe calc

<filepathtoscript>\MyAHKScripts.exe searchgoogle

Works like a charm.
