No bug. Explained: A_ThisHotkey When a hotkey is first created -- either by the Hotkey command or a double-colon label in the script -- its key name and the ordering of its modifier symbols becomes the permanent name of that hotkey, shared by all variants of the hotkey. I see. So ~a is counted as a...

Why ` A_ThisHotkey ` is getting the `tilde hotkey` instead of the `normal hotkey`? eg: #NoEnv #SingleInstance Force #Persistent ;~ #Include .\Test.ahk ;~ #Include ..\lib\System\RemoveToolTip.ahk #IfWinActive, ahk_exe ShareX.exe ~a:: i := 1 ; whatever code not important return #IfWinActive a:: ;~ dis...

Pos will be 0 if there is no match in v2. In v2, outputvar is a match object if there is a match. By default, a dot matches any single character which is not part of a newline (`r`n) sequence, Note, `r`n , not single `n . v2 docs says the same, it is probably not updated, RegEx newline matching def...

## Problem (Clarification) In most programs, pressing Alt activates the menu bar . You might want to determine whether the menu bar is active Yes, I meant to say: " activates the menu bar "; not "any real toggle " of alt (-- it just behaves similar to a toggle state (I couldnt find the right term t...

NorInd

In most of the software, If you press alt , its now in a toggled ON state . If you press alt again, its now in a toggled OFF state . How can I detect that in AHK? <see Update 20220901 [How can I determine whether the menu bar is currently activated by Alt key?]> --- note: ie: I want something analo...

SendLevel is the solution! Thanks for the reply.

Following code works::

Code: Select all

; in file AA
r:: 
SendLevel, 1 ; 1 is normally sufficient, as #InputLevel defaults to 0
SendInput, ^i
return

; in file BB
$^i:: ToolTip, AAA

NorInd

You can #Include the other file. That makes your script act as if the other script is contained within it. ^r::Gosub, $^i #Include %A_ScriptDir%\bb.ahk Thats true... But I dont really want to do that... It introduces entangle between the files. I rather that BB.ahk is running independent of AA.ahk....

:arrow: Gosub can call any labeled subroutine. Example Yeah, I did saw that in AHK documentation One workaround is to use Gosub to jump directly to the hotkey's subroutine. For example: Gosub #LButton. But the problem is, ^i is in a different .ahk file BB . I dont think ^r in file AA can gosub to a...

NorInd

For example, ; in file AA ^r:: SendInput, ^i return ; in file BB (another lib) $^i:: ToolTip, % "AAA" return ^r will not be able to trigger ^i in this case. What if I do want to force trigger ^i with ^r ? When Im not able to modify file BB (say, file BB is from another person's lib. I know this way ...

### lintalist I found a nice solution (workaround) by `lintalist` Just fyi my program Lintalist has a "plugin" which allows you to set the cursor position after pasting and you can use Selected or Clipboard text (an a variety of other plugins) https://autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=3378 S...

Using 'WinSet, Transparent' beforehand/afterwards? Em, I am not sure what you mean. Do you mean somehow combine Transparent & Region ? Are you able to provide an example with codes? Say, I want to set: the upper part of the window to alpha = 175 , the lower part to be alpha = 135 . The work around ...

NorInd

https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/WinSet.htm#ExRegion I know this Region command, (I am using this only as a temporary solution) but it makes the window (the part outside the Region) totally invisible -- ie: alpah = 0 ; But how can I make that part only partially transparent -- ie: alpah = 1...

NorInd

I know I can use the command WinSet, Transparent, 175, A to make the window transparent.

But it makes the whole window transparent.
How can I make only part of the window transparent?
eg: Make only the upper part transparent, while the lower part is not.

#Persistent OnClipboardChange("ClipChange") ClipChange() { hwnd := DllCall("GetClipboardOwner", "ptr") DetectHiddenWindows On WinGet name, ProcessName, ahk_id %hwnd% ToolTip Clipboard changed by %name% } Base on lexikos code, here is what I wrote, I test it simply, its working. (But I may just live...

Try checking the Type parameter that is sent to the function when ShareX changes the clipboard each time. Perhaps one time it is 0 because it first clears it and the next it is 2 because it then loads it with the captured image. I don't think it is 0 in the first time. But check Type can be helpful.

NorInd

If the Send command is somehow triggering a clipboard change when used with ShareX, try unregistering it before the Send: This does not fix the issue. Because "the Send command" does not "triggering a clipboard change". I think the problem is like what lexikos says: every time ShareX took a screens...

ControlSend does not allow you to hold down a key. I cannot think of other ways.
