Recently I found out about Autohotkey and I think it is so powerful that it could help me with my issue.
I have a laptop that acts weird upon shutdown.
When I shut it down and close the lid (about one to two seconds later), it sleeps instead of shutting down. And when I wake it up, it resumes the shutdown process and turn off instead of turning on in the first place, which is really inconvenient.
I thought of two ways to use Autohotkey to fix that issue, but I don't know how to implement it.
WAY 1:
Make a script that knows
IF a shutdown action is in process
THEN the laptop should not listen to the LID CONTROL,
Hence continuing the shutdown peacefully without interruption.
WAY 2: (if option one is not possible)
Make a script that waits N amount of seconds when the LID is closed - (where N is the typical number of seconds that take my laptop to shutdown - I will measure that later).
IF the laptop has shutdown THEN the WAIT is over,
ELSE IF the PC is still on, so LID CLOSURE was meant to sleep the laptop
THEN issue a sleep process.
How to implement that?
