ReRun - Run a program repeatedly on hotkey
« on: July 23, 2021, 12:13 AM »
When a certain hotkey is pressed, ReRun asks you for a program and runs it. From then on, everytime this hotkey is pressed, the program is run again.

This is useful if you working to improve a script/ ahk file / batch file and need to test it repeatedly, or are needing to manually compile/deploy/run commands repeatedly. Using rerun is faster than finding the active window and clicking on a program to launch it.

Code: C++ [Select]
  1. ; Change line 6 to a new hotkey: see http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/Hotkeys.htm#symbols
  2.  
  3. #NoEnv
  4. SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%  ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.
  5. §::
  6. if program =
  7.         FileSelectFile, program, 3, , Open a file, Programs (*.bat; *.com; *.exe)
  8. if program <>  
  9. {
  10.         SplitPath, program ,, OutDir
  11.         SetWorkingDir %OutDir%
  12.         RunWait, %program%
  13. }
  14. return

Note: the default hotkey is §, which is handy if you have a mac uk keyboard, but annoying if you don't. So change the start of line 5.

Mod Note: though the poster turned out to be a spammer, the script might be of use to someone.
