One of the littles bug I remember is when I repeat create shortcuts over same folders. Now I am not obtaining warnings....
I don't think I understand this.  Is there a specific series of steps you can use to reproduce the problem?  If so, please share -- may be an example with actual file and folder names?

I had initially thought that folders such as "My Pictures" might require special treatment, but in local testing, found that the titles of the Windows Explorer windows ended up using full paths.

Is that not the case for you?  If it isn't, if you list precisely which folders require special treatment, it may be doable to add support for them.

Another approach that occurred was the possibility of specifying a table (as you mentioned) in one's ini file.  One of the problems with this idea is that I don't know of a good way to get the names of keys from an ini file in AHK in a convenient fashion.

AHK has IniRead, IniWrite, and IniDelete, but as far as I know, there is nothing like IniEnumerateKeys or IniGetSection.

I have a TapTap shortcut of RightCtrl RightCtrl, to match my Launchy shortcut of LeftCtrl LeftCtrl
I used to have a set up pretty close to this -- it used two instances of FARR though.

I don't suppose FARR will natively support configuring double-tapping...

I have considered and researched a bit, and for the moment, have the following work-around.  It may work for the equivalent of "My Documents" folder.  Please let me know if it works for you:

The third screenshot is in the My Documents. Perhaps this have no solution because of the title window is not easy for the script to find. But perhaps you can retrieve the unusual name and create a correct corresponding solution.
I hope to consider this soon -- perhaps after sleeping :)

Sometimes I'm not aware why a window appear. So I put here the window and if you need more information I will pay more attention to the moment appeared until solution if possible.
If you find a precise series of steps that can reliably reproduce problems you have please share them.

Thanks for your comments (and the nice image of the mountain/hill and sky from an earlier post).

Thanks for the tip -- it turns out that "different tool" is one put together with AHK_L so I've been using something similar :)

FWIW, I'm not using all of the functionality (for example the sidebar and finer-grained control over scheduling and scanning), but at the moment, am leaning toward keeping this one installed.  I've been using it pretty much at least once a day since installing it.

The types of places I tested it on include:

  • Wikis with recent changes pages
  • Forum topic listings
  • Changelog pages for software

I find the following functionality particularly helpful:

SiteDelta does not only inform you when something changed - it also shows you WHERE and WHAT changed. You don't have to read through the entire page to find the news - just read the interesting (changed) parts.

Came across the following Wikipedia article too:

I tried adding some additional settings.  Below is a snippet of a relevant ini file.  May be no additional explanation is necessary.

Code: Text [Select]
  1. ; hotkey for "Choose Location..."
  2. ChooseLocHotkey=^+l
  3. ; hotkey for "In Explorer windows"
  4. InExpWinHotkey=^+w

Is it possible to have a hotkey for this option like ^+o or any other ?
I will consider it.

I would like ^+s to create a shortcut in the desktop directly.
I was able to get this working with the following type of setting in CreateShortcutsIn.ini:

6=^+s::%USERPROFILE%\Desktop

Have you tried something similar?

I'd like to be able to specify local files for searchUrl (e.g. for a local copy of the autohotkey script listing page).

Is it possible to do this already and if so, is there a way to do it without specifying absolute paths?

You mean instead of searching in a file downloaded from the web, you want to search in a local file?
Any chance you might be motivated to work on this?

I'd like to use it for things like:

Find And Run Robot / Re: What hotkey(s) do *you* use to trigger FARR?
« Last post by ewemoa on June 23, 2010, 03:30 PM »
I've been using the Apps key (the one that brings up the context sensitive menu) in combination with a modifier for invoking a different tool recently.  I just looked for a way to use this in FARR but didn't find one.  Has anyone else had any luck using it?

...and now back to semi-off-topic things :)

I've read somewhere: the deal is 'reserved' - i.e. at some stage some one of your key definitions could be taken over by a new universal shortcut from MS

It's fine using them for your own purposes, as long as you realize they can be defined by Microsoft later on...

These two quotes suggest to me that unless I develop some good method of managing shortcut key invocation habits that I'd be better off not configuring any shortcut keys that use the Windows key...Perhaps using them for testing purposes would be appropriate though.

which means you should never use them for defaults in software you release.
Great point.  Thanks for this.

Too bad MS doesn't provide a clean way for the user to say he doesn't want those default hotkeys... which means you have to resort to keyboard hooks in order to unregister hotkeys from explorer.exe and whatnot.
Indeed.  Perhaps this will change in a future version of Windows.

Win+F12. Can't remember why I switched from the pause key - perhaps it interfered with Win+Pause, which brings up system properties?
FWIW, Win+Pause still brings up system properties here.

Nice touch -- prefixing the key reserved for debuggers with the Windows key :)

Going still further off-topic, I find the following puzzling:

Either WINDOWS key was held down. These keys are labeled with the Windows logo. Keyboard shortcuts that involve the WINDOWS key are reserved for use by the operating system.

from:

  http://msdn.microsof...6309%28VS.85%29.aspx

Am I not supposed to use the Windows key for my own shortcut key definitions?

I use Pause/Break because it's the default and doesn't seem to interfere with other things here very much.  Also have Alt+Pause configured to work with FARRFolders.

regarding alt+space and control+space
Alt+Space (system menu anyone?) and Control+Space I avoid because of conflicts with other things that I've been using for more than a decade.

Sorry I didn't mention the following, but the "In Explorer windows" functionality requires the following setting (or what the equivalent is for the Windows you are using).

Starting at the menu bar for a Windows Explorer window:

  Tools -> Folder Options -> View

the setting:

  Display the full path in the title bar

should be enabled / checked.

What do you have for that setting?  I guess it won't be English :)

I haven't tried the code you posted, but perhaps it will come in handy later.

I don't think I understand yet.

Is it that you want to be able to make shortcuts into all open Windows Explorer windows (except the one with files selected)?  That might be possible.

Failed to mention that there are portions which I'm skeptical will fit that well on some small screens -- sometimes I adjust zooming and/or turn sideways to cope (too bad these things aren't supported on all devices).  Happy to hear reformatting suggestions :)

Wow, I guess iSilo managed to survive long enough for this round of small devices!

Converted some Lua references for reading on smaller screen devices [1].  Don't know if anyone else will have any use, but FWIW:

Done via hand so expect errors :)


[1] This means either splitting of a large original or conversion from some non-HTML format to HTML.
