AutoHotKey

I'd like to trigger an event in AutoHotkey when the user double "presses" the esc key. But let the escape keystroke go through to the app in focus if it's not a double press (say within the space of a second). How would I go about doing this? I've come up with this so far, but I can't work out how to check for the second escape key press: ~Esc:: Input, TextEntry1, L1 T1 endKey=%ErrorLevel% if( endKey != "Timeout" ) { ; perform my double press operation WinMinimize, A } return Matthew Lock Found the answer in the AutoHotkey documentation ! ; Example #4: Detects when a key has been double

A simple script like a::msgbox hi! used to work fine under Windows 7. Now that I upgraded to Windows 10, it isn't working when certain windows are active. Specially LButton -Hotkeys can mess up everything, leading to the situation where you actually need Task Manager. Here is a small list of applications in which hotkeys are not recognized anymore: (instead, as of the above script, a simple a is sent) Team Speak 3 Everything Fraps Where it does work: (examples) Editor Skype Windows Apps in general Ahk help Open Office (most programs) Can someone reproduce this? What's wrong with AutoHotkey in

I recently switched to the Dvorak keyboard layout as a bit of an experiment. One of the most difficult parts of the transition has been dealing with hot-keys. Most hot-keys are designed with QWERTY in mind and, to make matters worse, hot-keys seem to be extremely muscle memory bound. Rather than relearn all the hot-keys, I've written an autohotkey script to translate the Dvorak layout back to QWERTY when the Ctrl , Alt , or Win keys are pressed in conjunction with other keys. It works beautifully everywhere I've tried, except Visual Studio '08. It seems keystrokes are being caught before

I use a Java application at work. I need to send clicks to buttons and fill in textboxes. I would like these actions to happen in the background. The ahk_class of the window is SunAwtFrame, and none of the controls are exposed to WindowSpy. I have used JavaFerret to determine that the first button I want to press has an AccessibleAction Version Information: Java virtual machine version: 1.7.0_25 Access Bridge Java class version: 1.7.0_25 Access Bridge Java DLL version: AccessBridge 2.0.2 Access Bridge Windows DLL version: AccessBridge 2.0.2 AccessibleContext information: Name: New Call

I am working on a AutoHotkey script that does a repetitive job in Google Chrome. Every time that I click a link from the script, I have to tell my script to sleep while the page loads. I am wondering if there is a way in AHK for me to tell the script to wait for the browser to finish to finish loading the page rather than sleeping for a set amount of time. Is this possible? Jason Cramer While Karthik's answer is better than a sleep command, and it can function fairly well for many sites, I found that there are some problems which can creep up especially if you use this quite often. I needed a

I want all programs in my computer to be closed only by right clicking the taskbar icon and choosing close. So when I click the X button on any window, it should translate to minimize instead. How can I achieve this using AutoHotKey? vafylec This AutoHotkey script should achieve what you're looking for. Note: the code may not work correctly if aero mode is on. MouseGetPos gets the hWnd of the window under the cursor. WM_NCHITTEST gets information about the type of item under the cursor, needing a bit of fiddly maths to combine the coordinates into a 4-byte structure. The difficult bit is that
