Re: Disabling hotkey when certain programs are the active window

Thanks but it doesn't seem to work. If I add "Notepad" to the list of programs and try it in Notepad, middle click + scroll still moves the cursor to the centre of the screen.

Re: Shortcut to toggle displays between 'disconnect this display' and 'extend desktop to this display'

https://autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?p=73224#p73224 https://autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=31163 Thanks but that interface is far too basic; it seems to have been devised for a two-monitor system whilst I have six monitors and would like to be able to control them all individually.

Shortcut to toggle displays between 'disconnect this display' and 'extend desktop to this display'

Windows 10 has menu of 'Display settings' where individual monitors of a multi-monitor system can be disabled/enabled and Windows remembers the relative positions. I've tried various alternative solutions including ChangeDisplaySettings.ahk, ToggleDisplay.ahk, MultiMonitorTool.exe but they don't wor...

Finding 12 unique scancodes to use for a macropad project

I would like to make a 12-key macropad which will use an Arduino microcontroller to send signals to my PC via USB. How can I determine suitable scancodes or scancode combinations to send which are not used by anything else connected to my machine?

Re: Limit mouse movement to window, control or custom rectangle

Is there a way to make this restrict the cursor to specified monitors on a multi-monitor system (but two or three monitors and not a single monitor at a time)?

Toggling mouse cursor restriction to multiple monitors (and putting others into stand by)

I have four monitors but I don't use them all all the time so it's annoying when my mouse wanders to a monitor which is turned off. Is there a way I can toggle a restriction of the mouse to a particular monitor? I'd combine it with a way to toggle the monitor being sent a stand-by signal which I can...

Re: Setup Notepad++ for AutoHotkey

There is no error message. When I say it doesn't work, I mean that when I choose 'edit script' from the tasktray AHK icon context menu, the script opens in MS Notepad as it does by default.

The path to the Notepad++ executable is correct.

Re: Display device (monitor) toggle Topic is solved

Okay, with help from different sources I've established that the script actually starts with the line DisplayPosition_Set(device_name, x, y, defer=false) whilst DisplayPosition_Get("\\.\DISPLAY2", x2, y2) and DisplayPosition_Set("\\.\DISPLAY2", x2, y2) are "function calls" which need to be placed in...

I use the following code so that if I edit my autohotkey.ahk file in MS Notepad and save, the save action reloads the script in AHK.

Re: Error: function cannot contain a function

You should probably only include setDisplayPosition.ahk once, at the top of the script. Do you need the pause ? Also for the LongHotkeys , you can do loop 7 new LongHotkey("# & M & " A_Index, "monXfunction", A_Index) ; Key-combo, function, params ... monXfunction(X){ Run MultiMonitorTool.exe /switc...

Re: Error: function cannot contain a function

Actually, the position of the includes are no good; they are executing without the key combination being entered. They really need to be a part of the LongHotkey functions but that's not possible because a function cannot contain a function?
