Move mouse cursor into text that is highlighted

[codude]

I'm looking for a way to move the mouse cursor into text that is highlighted in a Word doc. Anywhere in the highlighted area is fine.

Pixelsearch comes to mind.

Mousemove to move the mouse icon

You might need get pixelgetcolor to find out what color the highlight is, if the color changes when you move the mouse over it.
https://autohotkey.com/docs/commands/PixelGetColor.htm
Mousegetpos will give you the current location to check for the color
https://autohotkey.com/docs/commands/MouseGetPos.htm


Here is some code to get you started.

Code: Select all

f6::
MouseGetPos, X,Y
msgbox, Move the mouse away from the color, we have the loation at %x%`, %y%
PixelGetColor, color, X, Y
clipboard = %x%, %y% %color%
msgbox, The color is %color% and is located at %x%`, %y%.  I have put this data on your clipboard
return


f7::
msgbox, %color%
PixelSearch, Px, Py, 0, 0, A_ScreenWidth, A_ScreenHeight, %color%,,fast
if ErrorLevel
    MsgBox, That color was not found in the specified region.
else
mousemove, Px, Py
return

The background picture of the highlighted text seemed to remain constant in all situations so the PixelSearch worked fine. Thanks

I think the keyboard cursor is just before or after the selected text, so "around" A_CaretX, A_CaretY may optimize the search.
