OSD display trick!!!

howiesun · 15 Dec 2017, 15:46

Taran is awesome.. but I couldn't figure out how to duplicate it..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gF-f25d ... gPCJWft4QZ

Basically he was able to turn OSD to read a text file, and based on his key presses, finds in the text file the corrisponding function of premiere pro (or anything else for that matter)
and displays it on the second line.. watch the video u know what i mean..

For the last few days I have been trying.. but basically I was able to take the original SHOWOFF.AHK , move the window down, change the text color, make the background transparent... and that's it..

can someone be kind enough to help me out here? thx~~~~~~~

I got the osd working already
what I need to find out is how it links to a text file to display the function

btw
I have tried this code
it does not display at all for me
could it be because I have a 3 screen set up?
but the original show off.ahk works for me

He's looping through a text file that has the keys he uses in Premiere. Here's what I came up with.. (Iteration and Arrays aren't my strong suite)

Code: Select all

FileRead, commands, %A_ScriptDir%\Command.txt   ; store the commands from the file into a variable
Loop, Parse, commands, `n                       ; splits the variable into each line using "`n" as a delimeter
{
  key2 = %A_LoopField%                          ; save each file line to keys2 variable
  StringSplit, commandT, key2, =                ; split the keys2 var into 2 sections--> Function | Hotkey
  cmd = %commandT1%                             ; commandT[N] is now an array. commandT1 = Function
  keys = %commandT2%                            ; commandT2 = Hotkey
  MsgBox, %cmd% = %keys%
  ; You can check for keys and states here
}

The text file contents..

Code: Select all

NewProject=LCtrl Alt N
Sequence=LCtrl N
Title=LCtrl T
OpenProject=LCtrl O
BrowseAdobeBridge=LCtrl Alt O
CloseProject=LCtrl Shift W

I played around with the ShowOff.ahk and added a second text variable to show a "function" happening when you left click. It also changes color, is transparent, and is one line lower like in the youtube video. I added the second text var to the settings file so you can customize it like the first text. What I added is in RED. This code will work but you'll have to add every key combo line for line with IF statements. There's a better way for sure but hopefully this will get you started.

Code: Select all

;ShowOff.ahk
; Shows pushed down keys and buttons

He's looping through a text file that has the keys he uses in Premiere. . Here's what I came up with.. (Iteration and Arrays aren't my strong suite)

Code: Select all

FileRead, commands, %A_ScriptDir%\Command.txt   ; store the commands from the file into a variable
Loop, Parse, commands, `n                       ; splits the variable into each line using "`n" as a delimeter
{
  key2 = %A_LoopField%                          ; save each file line to keys2 variable
  StringSplit, commandT, key2, =                ; split the keys2 var into 2 sections--> Function | Hotkey
  cmd = %commandT1%                             ; commandT[N] is now an array. commandT1 = Function
  keys = %commandT2%                            ; commandT2 = Hotkey
  MsgBox, %cmd% = %keys%
  ; You can check for keys and states here
}

The text file contents..

Code: Select all

NewProject=LCtrl Alt N
Sequence=LCtrl N
Title=LCtrl T
OpenProject=LCtrl O
BrowseAdobeBridge=LCtrl Alt O
CloseProject=LCtrl Shift W

I played around with the ShowOff.ahk and added a second text variable to show a "function" happening when you left click. It also changes color, is transparent, and is one line lower like in the youtube video. I added the second text var to the settings file so you can customize it like the first text. This code will work but you'll have to add every key combo line for line with IF statements. There's a better way for sure but hopefully this will get you started.

Code: Select all

With the multiple displays you can try to specify which one to use with https://autohotkey.com/docs/commands/SysGet.htm
That seems like a Gui, Show, X Y issue though. I would set the ShowOff.ahk settings to something like X=500 Y=500 and shoot for the middle of your screen. I hope this helps.

EDIT:
Sorry about the double post.
