autohotkey's Issues

more than one file is selected

Explorer_GetPath
works very well but not if more than one file is selected. how can i make it work with the last selected? (tried it with Explorer_GetSelected())

Contact for a few question

I have a few questions about the scripts as I have been using and customizing for a while. Is there a way that I can contact you outside of the issue list?

Create config file for loading directory shortcuts

In Shortcuts.ahk, I find myself wanting to change these often. This really should not be a code change. This also has the added benefit of making the script usable in both Work.ahk and Home.ahk

• Load directory values from .ini file
• Determine the desired hotkeys. CapsLock + F keys? Win + F keys?
• Put a sample config in source control and ignore real config

Target Label Does Not Exist Line 379

Hi

I have pasted notify.ahk into a seperate ahk file and included it as a #Include in my project.

It works amazing, when I click a notification I get this error:

Target Label Does Not Exist (line 379)
SetTimer, Notify_Flash%GK%, Off

Is there anything I have missed in setting this up correctly?

Keyboard Layout CapsNav: Use existing layout for that, example Neo2

Hi

Just a suggestion. I see many people reinventing their own keyboard layout because they are unhappy with the default QWERTY or QWERTZ. It might be better to use some existing reworked layout like Neo2. Note that you can still use the regular QWERTY/QWERTZ together with caps lock and all the higher layers of Neo2. You can checkout my example here: https://github.com/ypid/dotfiles/tree/master/windows/neo-vars

My point is that much more thought has been put into layouts like Neo2 compared to home-brewed layouts. I understand that for you it is probably not worth switching. I want to mention this for people who start out new.

"AT=" command doesn't seem to work

Bug report, using the "AT=" command doesn't seem to work

Expected behaviour:
When Notification times out, AT= should trigger "MyTestLabelGoesHere" label

Example usage:
;NotifyTest.ahk
#include Notify.ahk
Notify("Title", "testmessage",-5, "Style=Tooltip SI=50 GC=000000 TC=White MC=White SI=350 ST=450 BC=00000 GR=9 BR=13 BW=0 BT=105 TS=9 MS=8 PB=767676 GR=0 AT=MyTestLabelGoesHere ")
return

MyTestLabelGoesHere:
msgbox this message box does not show when the notification timesout
return

Am I doing this right?

No commands work

Is this project still functional or supported?

Explorer Lib With Tabs In Windows 11

In the Explorer Lib, in order to retrieve the right tab/window in the Windows 11 Explorer, you need to check if the window title is the same as the title of the tab in addition to checking if it is the right hwnd:

Explorer_GetWindow(hwnd="")
{
    WinGet, process, processName, % "ahk_id" hwnd := hwnd? hwnd:WinExist("A")
    WinGetClass class, ahk_id %hwnd%
	
	If (process!="explorer.exe")
		Return
	If (class ~= "(Cabinet|Explore)WClass")
	{
        WinGetTitle, currentWindowTitle, A
		For window In ComObjCreate("Shell.Application").Windows
			If (window.hwnd == hwnd And window.LocationName == currentWindowTitle)
				Return window
	}
	Else If (class ~= "Progman|WorkerW") 
		Return "desktop" ; desktop found
}

The two thing I added to the code are WinGetTitle, currentWindowTitle, A and And window.LocationName == currentWindowTitle

ordering of selected files

Hi, this library is awesome.! Thanks. One thing that I can't quite figure out... When using sel, it seems that the order the is retrieved from Explorer_GetSelected() depends on how you select the file. Maybe this comes in handy for some things. Any ideas on how I could get it to always be the same? The order doesn't matter to me, but I do need the same order every time regardless of how it is selected. Any ideas?
