Untested, but something like this should work... #Persistent Loop, 9 { Hotkey, F13 & %A_Index%, MyLabel } Return MyLabel: Key := GetKeyNumber(A_ThisHotKey) MsgBox You pressed F13 and the number %Key%. ; YOUR CODE HERE Return GetKeyNumber(key) { StringReplace, key, key, F13 & Return key } Unfortunat...

I have been writing a lot of repetitive hotkeys like the following: F13 & 1:: sorted_monitors := GetMonitorIndexesSortedByLeftmost() PerformMove(sorted_monitors[1].ind,-1,-1) return F14 & 1:: sorted_monitors := GetMonitorIndexesSortedByLeftmost() PerformMoveWindow(sorted_monitors[1].ind) return F13 ...

This works great! I don't really understand what you did though. Can you explain why this solves the problem? Maybe I just don't understand Windows' window management well enough.

I wrote an autohotkey function to move the active Window from one monitor to another. It does scaling based on the monitor resolutions to determine the position and width/height of the new window: GetCurrentMonitor() { SysGet, numberOfMonitors, MonitorCount WinGetPos, winX, winY, winWidth, winHeight...

Hi, There are posts about it. I would search forum for "multi-monitor" and also look up @JoeWinograd. The one I found still refers to them with an index rather than by name. Maybe I'm not looking at the right thing? This is what I found: https://www.experts-exchange.com/articles/33932/Keyboard-shor...

I want a hotkey to move windows to a specific monitor, specifically my "LG HDR 4K" monitor, as it is displayed in Windows. The problem is that I have only figured out to do this using monitor indexes, and every time I unplug or re-plug in the monitors, the indexes seem to jump around. I was hoping I...

I want to write an autohotkey script to find the Microsoft Teams and the Microsoft Outlook windows and snap them to the right and left half of a specific monitor (say index number 3) regardless of their current location (including being minimized). I think I can do this but I need to know how to ide...

Currently I'm using this to toggle inverted colors on all my multiple computer monitors (Windows 10). F14:: SendInput #{NumpadAdd} Sleep, 300 SendInput #{NumpadSub} Sleep, 100 SendInput ^!i return I am using the win numpad add and win numpad sub keys to start up magnifier in case it isn't started, a...

Works great, thank you!

Works great, but just one question. Does this have to be its own independent .ahk file or can it be included within another file that has several other unrelated hotkeys in it (unrelated to notepad)? Is it possible to limit the scope of the `#IfWinActive` you used? I'm trying to avoid having to do s...

I want the hotkey "alt + z" to toggle word wrap in Notepad on Windows 10. It should just send "alt + z" outside of Notepad, as if autohotkey wasn't running. I wrote a basic script, but it's not ideal: $!z:: WinGet, activeprocess, ProcessName, A If (activeprocess = "NOTEPAD.EXE") { Sleep, 200 SendInp...

I have been using this script here for a while to copy the filepath of selected items in File Explorer and it has been working great. However, it does not work when I am inside of a program using a "Save As" dialog. For example, if I am in Excel and go to "Save As," a file explorer dialog pops up to...

Forgive me, for I am still very new to all of this, but I've been searching for AutoHotkey scripts that will take the current files or folders that are selected on either the desktop or within file explorer and will create an array of all of them, separating files from folders. I found some code tha...

Fantastic work!

I'm not sure if this is possible, but I'm wondering if AutoHotKey can be used to create a keyboard shortcut that, when inside File Explorer, copies the path of the highlighted item to the clipboard if a file or folder is selected, and copies the path to the current folder being browsed in if nothing...

JohnTravolski

Okay, so before I state my request as advanced as it is, I should say this: is there any kind of scrip that will copy the URL (file directory) in the title bar of the active (current) window? http://i.imgur.com/msjxuFe.png When the file explorer window is active, I need the script to be able to auto...

I commonly save many of my files in different places at the same time. For example, whenever I edit a word document, I save it to an external flash drive, the computer's secondary SSD, and also to OneDrive, which is a folder on a separate hard drive. What I'm trying to figure out is how a script cou...

JohnTravolski

Thanks, I'll try it and let you know how it goes after a few runs. I'm really new to this program, so I appreciate all the help that has been offered to me.

So, this is my script: ^F1:: ; M1 Key or Control F1 Clipboard = Send, ^c ClipWait ;waits for the clipboard to have content Run, C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2015\Photoshop.exe "%clipboard% return ^F2:: ; M2 Key or Control F2 Clipboard = Send, ^c ClipWait ;waits for the clipboard to have...

JohnTravolski

Thank you so much; that was it! I was so confused because I thought that the

Code: Select all

^c

in the first line of the original script was the shortcut. It works perfectly now. I appreciate this.
