![]() We’ve found it’s more effective to record keystrokes rather than rely on mouse clicks as these are based on the mouse’s position on the screen, which means they won’t work if a dialogue box or program window is resized or moved. Scripting for most of these is done by hand in AutoHotkey’s editor, but mouse and keystrokes can also be recorded using the supplied macro recorder (AutoScriptWriter), just like in Office. It can also be used as an auto-text tool, to create customised entry forms, dialogue boxes and menu bars, and remap keys and buttons on mice and joysticks for good measure. This allows you to create scripts that can automate not just common commands like launching programs, but also mouse clicks and keystrokes. The only problem with macros is that they’re limited to Office, so what can you do if you’d like to extend this functionality to another program – or across Windows as a whole? The solution lies a program called AutoHotkey. Clearly there's some sort of problem with how the file is downloading, no matter which version I choose.Anyone who’s taken advantage of their office application’s macro function will realise just how useful a tool it is: suddenly, instead of having to perform several repetitive tasks or mouse clicks over and over again, you can record those keystrokes or mouse clicks, then “play” them back with a single click or keystroke, saving you time and effort in the process. ![]() Eventually the progress bar in the Downloads window stops moving at what appears to be about 98%, and I can't even get Task manager to open to make it stop. If I try to extract the contents of the zip, it takes an excessively long time, during which the status popup sits at 95% and a progress bar in my Downloads window slowly creeps along, and Trillian and the extract zipped folders location window both begin Not Responding. ![]() I've also tried downloading the Unicode 64-bit zip installer, which says "Class not registered" when I try to open it from the IE dialogue when I download the zip and open it via Chrome, it goes into the zip just fine but then says "Script file not found C:\blah\blah\AutoHotkey.ahk". Chrome says "Failed - Download error" with nothing more specific, and IE says immediately that the download "might have been moved or deleted", whether I choose to run or save the installer. ![]() Okay, so I just tried to download AHK, and it's not working no matter what I do. ![]()
