AMPL

This plugin allows you to create, edit and manage AMPL scripts. AMPL scripts are AutoHotKey scripts that are standardised into a particular format.

A is for AutoHotKey: and is also for Another, because there is also a fair amount of overlap between these types or programmes.
M is for Multiple: and is also for Manipulate because the windows can be manipulated through the scripts.
It is also for Macro because AMPL allows you to record and edit macros.
and also for Many because of the many script that can be written: FARR gives you a live search for easy launching.
P is for Programme: and is also for Plugin because AMPL can be extended by plugins (A plugin for AMPL Variables is included).
It is also for Powerful, because AMPL is build from the powerful AutoHotKey language.
L is for Launcher: and is also for Layout because different layout can be defined for each script

::Usage

Typing "am" will present you with the 7 sub-commands. Highlight and press tab, or type the shortcut directly:

	Run Script / Executable: [Shortcut amr].
	Create Script: [Shortcut amn] Opens AMPL Script Editor with a new script.
	Record Script: [Shortcut amn] Opens AMPL Recorder with default settings and records user activity. After closing the recorded script is loaded into Script Editor.
	Edit Script: [Shortcut ame] Loads the selected script into the Script Editor.
	Script Information: [Shortcut ama] Display information of the selected script.
	AMPL Options.
	Install Script: [Shortcut ami] Runs ScriptShortcutter which will create shortcuts on the host computer.
	Delete Script: [Shortcut amd]. Removes the script from the search criteria. This is done by changing the extension; to re-instate the script just change the extension back.
	AMPL Help: This file.
	Script Updater: Script Updater will update existing scripts when a new version of AMPL_Includes has been installed. Script Updater will run at each initialization of the AMPL plugin.
	Compile Script: [Shortcut amn] Use Ahk2Exe.exe to compile script. This does not do anything useful if the script is only going to live on your computer, as you'll get better performance from an uncompiled script.

am (.*)

"am" followed by a space, and search characters, will display matching scripts and executables. am is a shortcut of amr.

::Options

Use Icons

The icon set to use.

To create a new icon set:

Create a new directory in the Icons directory. For example: C:\Program Files\FindAndRunRobot\Plugins\AMPL\icons\My Icons
Add new icons as desirered; Required icons not present will be taken from the default set (C:\Program Files\FindAndRunRobot\Plugins\AMPL\icons\).
Run the AMPL Options programme and select your new icon set.

AHK Directory

The path to the AutoHotKey directory.

The AHK tools Ahk2Exe, AutoScriptWriter, Window Spy & AHK Help File are expected to be located in the starndard sub-directories.

Scoring: Prefer

AMPL will score either ahk Scrips, exe files or neither higher. Note: there is no real reason to compile your own scripts.

Scoring: Match Weight

AMPL will score string matches higher when they appear at the start or end of the file name.

This setting can be used to promote or demote a file depending where the search string is matched in the file name. Commonly, promoting matches from the beginning of the file name is more like the way we remember names.
