With "top" meaning favourite most used.  It's hard for me to say just 3 when I have at least the same 15 to 20 running all day, every day.

I was not sure to post here, but I found some (not good) news about the clipboard that I use all time.

The site says:

M8 Software ceased trading on 23 Jun 2019

As some of you may know, M8 Software was a one man business. The proprietor was diagnosed with cancer some time ago and is no longer fit to manage the business. A new owner is being sought.

Best wishes to the author, quite helpful man.

Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: block mouse/audio on local network to targeted computers

« on: September 20, 2019, 10:58 AM »

Oh.. great.

There are no strong requirements and I can configure whatever is needed on the local network (opening ports or installing databases).

A "backdoor" to unlock the computer manually if something goes wrong would be great (in case something  goes wrong with the network and the computer remains locked).

Not a basic requirement but another beautiful lock would be stopping internet service, not sure the best way to achieve this, remove dns or whatever. This will help me to keep them focused on the task when internet is not required.

My students will not hack this :-)

Im available for testing, of course.

An user interface is NOT a must have.. i can go command line or with a very basic UI.

I think the idea is clear, this is not a punishment software, just a helper for the teacher.

Hello, sorry for the delayed response.

@publicdomain

My first choice was AHK, but I'm a newbie with that scripting language. Do you have some preference?

@KodeZwerg

We use win10. There are no restrictions and the network settings are free to configure (for example, to set static ip's).

Post New Requests Here / IDEA: block mouse/audio on local network to targeted computers

« on: August 15, 2019, 11:56 AM »

Hello. I was trying to acomplish the following idea with autohotkey but I'm stuck on the remote aproach.

I'm a teacher and some of my students have strong atention issues (special needs, autism...).

Sometimes I have to get atention and my idea is to block the mouse and mute their computer on the ones that they are not listening me.

This helps me to stop any music/audio on their headphones and block their primary input, this should be enough.

I get some code from Skrommel, but I'm still thinking how to send the shortcut to their computer. No idea about the best way.

This is the starting code:

#m::                    ;win + m hotkey
if (x != 1)
{
    BlockInput, MouseMove
    x := 1
    Hotkey, LButton, DoNothing
    Hotkey, RButton, DoNothing
    Hotkey, XButton1, DoNothing
    Hotkey, XButton2, DoNothing
    SoundSet, +1, , Mute
    return
}
if (x = 1)
{
 SoundSet, +1, , mute
    reload
}


DoNothing:
return


Any feedback is appreciated.
