I'm new to AutoHotkey.
I have a specfic need to be achieved in Powerpoint using autohotkey.
Let's say in Powerpoint, I want to change font color.
The normal steps are:
Select the text
Click "Home" > Click "Font Color" > The Font palette gets expanded and I select the color.
Now, I want to make this process quicker as below
Select the text
Press FC (as shortcut from keyboard) and autohotkey should press the following keys Alt+H+FC (Very importantly, if I don't press C immediately after F, then it should get typed as replaced text of highlighted text)
So, my code goes as like this
#SingleInstance, Force
#IfWinActive ahk_exe POWERPNT.EXE ; check whether ppt is the active window
f::
#if keypress c
send, !HFC
#if
return
But, this doesn't work.
I don't where am I making mistake. Could someone help, please
I know this is an autohotkey question, but the quick access toolbar (QAT) in PowerPoint may solve your problem out of the box.
The QAT assigns Alt+1 to the first feature, alt+2 to the second, etc. By customizing the order of buttons on the QAT, you can access features you use often with one key combination.
Instructions
First add the font color button to the QAT: right click the 'font color' button, and click 'add to quick access toolbar'
Change the order of features in the QAT: right click on the QAT - customize quick access toolbar). Use the arrow buttons on the right side to change the ordering.
This is the order I use myself:
This allows me to very quickly align objects on a slide, change background color, outline, and text color, all initiated from the keyboard.
So I need to automate some button clickings on a java program. I tried ahks/autoit's controlclick but it doesn't really work (normal clicks do work, but I require no mouse movement).
I tried to get some information from window detective / window spy, etc. but not much is displayed apart from the window name and ahk_class
Java Ferret shows quite a lot more information though: https://gyazo.com/3539415488ce3e03c90f3532327419f2
How can I trigger one of these "push button" actions? (say "Descendent 19 role")
If you can get the X and Y coordinates of the control along with the window name, you could use a mouse click event.
Other than that, you can try using an image search to find the control's X and Y and perform a mouse click.
The question is quite straight forward, I want pressing the > character to send Tab. Something like
>::Send, {Tab}
but that doesn't seem to work, probably because the '>' is used to denote right-(ctrl|alt|shift). How do I escape it? Tried {>} with no luck.
Your code does work:
Code before or after your hotkey might be affecting how it works.
Try putting your code at the top of the script.
If that doesn't work, RIGHT CLICK the autohotkey icon on your taskbar, then click "Edit This Script". Save and replace the script with just:
>::Send, {Tab}
RIGHT CLICK the autohotkey icon on your taskbar again, then click "Reload This Script". Now test > again.
I'm using notepad++ (v6.5.3) and I constantly have to change the size of the tab for viewing some results. Not that it's taking me a lot of time to do it manually everytime, but it would be great if I could optimize that.
Is there a way to do so? Would a macro be the solution, or are they just for typing stuff?
Thanks a lot!
Ok, there's an easy way how you can achieve this - I have tested it right now:
Install AutoHotKey (or start portable version which runs without installation)
In Windows 7 and above, ensure you launched AutoHotKey as Administrator (otherwise you get inconsistencies in its behavior) - if not sure, exit it and restart it as administrator
Right click Autohotkey tray icon and select Edit This Script
Import the macro below this list at the end of the AutoHotKey script file and save the file
Right click Autohotkey tray icon and select Reload This Script.
–– This was end of general steps, now let's go with your macro: ––
In N++, display Preferences window and press its Close button1 at the bottom (NOT at the top-right corner)
Now you can use shortcuts Win+F2 and Win+F3 to switch different tab sizes instantly
SendMode Input
DetectHiddenWindows, On
SetTitleMatchMode, RegEx
;--------------------------------- Hotkeys for Notepad++ only
#IfWinActive ahk_class Notepad\+\+
#F2::Send {F10}{Right 6}{Down}{Enter}{Tab 2}{Space}16{Enter}{Tab 3}{Space}
#F3::Send {F10}{Right 6}{Down}{Enter}{Tab 2}{Space}4{Enter}{Tab 3}{Space}
#IfWinActive
1) Important: N++ user experience provided in dialog boxes is absolutely terrible. There are no anchors where you can fix focus when using keyboard. Thus you always need to perform step 4 manually when leaving Preferences dialog box otherwise the macros would send keys into incorect window page OR at correct page but incorrect control. Preferences dialog window remembers selected page and control. Macros I created for you therefore assume that correct page is already listed and button Close was recently focused.
Good news is Notepad++ windows with this weird behavior are rare exception from general user experience. In other places in N++ (or in other apps) where user interface components (menus, dialogs etc.) always start from the same point you do not need any special precautions like the one in step 4.
Adjust the macros as you like:
you can create more of them
you can adjust the numbers "16" and "4" typed into tab size input box
you can change shortcut keys to something else
you can replace sending keys with sending mouse clicks at desired screen/window positions
you can achieve many other useful shortcuts in N++ and in all other apps – check AHK deeper!
I am working with a Help file as a Word 2007 document. I need to update the screenshots as I go through, so I'm trying to get AHK to select the 'Change Picture' option from the right click drop down menu when I press my key combination. I've got the code, and it works perfectly... the first time I use it. After that, I only see the right click menu flash and disappear. I suspect that the script from Send {Down 4} on is not executing because I can just barely see the 'Cut' option highlighted, but the selected image is not cut from the document, indicating that the Send {Enter} is also not being executed.
I cannot find anyone else who seems to be having this problem. If I manually reload my script, it works fine again, but only the once. Then it's back to flashing the drop down and nothing else. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to get this process down to as few clicks as possible, but it's getting to the point where I'm wasting more time trying to solve my macro problems than I would just doing it the slow awkward way.
My script as it is now:
^!z::
Send +{F10}
Send {Down 4}
Send {Enter}
return
For clarification's sake:
When I remove everything following Send +{F10} and then use my hotkey, I get the right click menu displayed and not flashed, but again, only the first time I use it. After that, the menu goes back to flashing on the screen once. To compare, actually pressing Shift and {F10} displays the right click menu, and it does not disappear on lift.
If I move all three Send commands into one line to get Send +{F10} {Down 4} {Enter} The script executes the 'Cut' option from the right click menu, then moves the cursor down 4 lines and then sends the {Enter} keystroke. This set of actions works after the first use of the script, unlike previous instances.
In my copy of Word, the control key causes a secondary 'Layout Options' menu to pop up if there is an image selected. While I'm not sure why it's working for you the first time but not subsequently, when I test this at my end it works if I change two things:
Use mouseclick, right instead of Send +{F10}
Change the shortcut modifier from shift-ctrl to Win, i.e. set it to #z
You can try sending the keyboard shortcut instead of down command
SetBatchLines, 1
SetKeyDelay , 100 ; in miliseconds, keep increasing until your pc can hadle it
!x:: ; your hotkey in my case alt + x which is similar to ctrl + x for cutting text
Send +{F10}
Send {t} ; use the cut keyboard shortcut, for word should be 't'. if for some weird reason isn't change it
Send {Enter}
return
