Hallo allerseits, Ich kenne mich nur ganz wenig mit AHK aus. Über Syntaxdetails weiß ich praktisch nichts. Seit längerem mal wieder was mit AHK gemacht. Dabei in die V2 Doku reingeschaut Siehe die roten Rahmen image.png Aber die Beispielcodes scheinen V1 zu sein. Sagt zumindest der User der mir in d...

Hi andymbody thank you very much for pointing me to this. As I am very new to AHK. If you look at these examples which are shown under the link https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/v2/lib/SetTimer.htm have a close look https : / / www . autohotkey . com / docs / v2 /lib/SetTimer.htm screenshot from my sc...

Hi andymbody, thank your very much for answering. Ok I finally managed to make it work with the #Persistent "command". The documentation of the SetTimer-function does not mention it. Additionally the website explaining the #Persistent says quoting from the website https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/v2/...

Hello, of course my frist step was to lookup the docs how to use timers https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/v2/lib/SetTimer.htm and of course I have looked into the examples that were presented. Though these examples are very different from what I want to write. So for analying how it works I started wi...

Hi Everybody, Im using quite a lot of different applications. But in some of them the window-spy is unable to detect text-edit-fields or buttons. Does this depend on the compile-process how the *.exe-file was created? For me most important is the software Xournal++. Window-Spy is unable to detect th...

Hi everybody, I did a google search about a syntax-highighting definition for notepad++ with a dark -theme for autohotkey. Of course google did find some hits. So I looked them through and tried some of them. Though the posts are pretty old so that even the links are broken or the syntax-high-lighti...

I'm using the software xournal++ on a tablet for lessons where I explain mathematics by handwriting. you can add plugins as lua-code o xournal++. As long as the plugin does things like keypresses this works pretty good. Now my idea is to have a hoovering shortcut-button-bar with user-configurable fu...

Hi Spawnova, thank you for explaining the $-sign in front of hotkeys. keypresses are eventdriven. My understanding of this is: If only one keypress happends my code does not run through a second time. So How can I detect that there was only one keypress within the first run of the code? Or as anothe...

Hi Rohwedder, thank you so much. I owe you a beer. if you pm me a paypal-mail i'll send it to you. I see AHK has a lot of options. The examples in the help are rather poor. That was the reason for asking here in the forum. Do you happen to know a well commented collection of how to use commands? I a...

hm, seems to turn into a difficult journey to success: The script compile and runs but as soon as I press the key "s" I get an errormessage non-existant hotkey-variant Specifically $s So does this mean that the newest version of AHK does no longer understand what $s means? Are there altenative ways ...

Hi Rohwedder,
thank you very much. Now the script compiles and runs.

Hi Rohwedder, thank you very much for answering. I tried your script but I get an error-message Error at line 3 Line Tes: Switch errorlevel Error: This line does not contain a recognized action. Program will exit. Im using AHK Version Version 1.1.30.03 ist this a bug of this version? First I added t...

Hello everybody, in a CAD-software I'm using snap-functions need a single-stroke-hotkey like a single letter "S", "D" etc. from another CAD-Softare I'm used to have two-key-stroke-commands likne "sg", "st" etc. No I would like to write a script that transforms a two-key-input into a one-key-press to...

Hello, I'm a hobbyist coder with delphi. So I'm familiar with the basic concepts about writing code. But I have only a little knowledge (yet) about the AHK-scripting language. I'm using the Texteditor jEDIT instead of the built-in Arduino-IDE for coding in c++ for arduinos. jEDIT can detect if the f...
