/ahkg/ - AutoHotKey General

Fyi:
windows is botnet and linux can do keyboard automation sooo much beter

Bump because I'm interested

>>62160413
Care to share? I use Debian at work and the first thing that comes up for keyboard automation is some port of ahk.

>>62160396
OP share your scripts, installed this bug never bothered to make my own shortcuts.

finally a thread on /g/ i could contribute to and i'm just here samefaggin

Really scraping the bottom of the barrel for new general ideas here.

So, uh, how do you make a script which makes a tilde appear when I press the tilde key (left of one, below esc)? Sounds retarded, yes, but the thing is every time I press that key I get nothing and when I press it again I get ¸¸ (cedilla, U+00B8). That is without holding shift, and when I do hold shift and press it once I get nothing immediately again, but once more and I get ¨¨¨ (diaeresis, U+00A8). So, yeah, a script that clears what I presume is a character buffer and outputs ~ when I press the tilde key?

Anyone know how I can script the keyboard shortcuts of a semi-decent window manager? I only know how to set one position with one shortcut. What I don't know how to script is using the same shortcut to incrementally adjust a given window. For example I'd like
>start with maximized window
>Win-Left: window shrinks to left half of screen
>Win-Left: window shrinks horizontally again by half
>Win-Up: window shrinks vertically by half toward the top left corner
>Win-Right: window expands horizontally to half the screen width again without changing vertically

I know those commands, but the only way that comes to mind for me to use them is a bunch of conditionals. For example Win-Left could mean "halve the width of the active window and maintain its X position" if it's already on the left, or it could mean "double the width of the active window and adjust its X position" if it's on the right. That seems clunky as fuck.

or just use different hotkeys

AHK + Terminal keyboard > Any gaming keyboard with keybinds

>>62165164
I've never run into one myself, but I hear there are games out there which freak out if you have AHK running. Gotta have the keyboard for those.

>>62165184
I believe you can change the API that AHK uses which fixes these issues if you run into them.

>>62165169
yeah, but that's the only way if you don't want work with conditional actions

>>62164893
Try using scancodes maybe. There's a script to find the scancode of a pressed key. Here's an example:

SC159:: ; Replace 159 with your key's value.
MsgBox, %A_ThisHotKey% was pressed.
return

Thanks anon, using this:

SC29::
    SendRaw ~
return

It just werks now.

>>62165851
Mind sharing the script? I would love to have tiling in Windows controlled soley by the keyboard.
