USB Barcode Scanner to Web Browser
Posted: 01 Mar 2017, 14:03
Hello,
First off, I'm totally new to AHK and have very basic scripting knowledge.
I bought a USB Barcode Scanner which acts as a USB Keyboard when plugged in.
Basically, when I open Notepad and scan one of my barcodes, it enters a URL followed by the Return key.
What I want is pretty simple. When I scan something, I want AHK to open a new tab in Firefox at the URL included in the Barcode.
I've seen scripts in here that does similar things but I have a little bit of learning to do before I can understand those better.
Thanks a lot
