DONE: Farr's go away

jgpaiva:
Since farr still doesn't have internal commands, i made this small script for myself, and decided to post it here.

Using ctrl+space to bring up farr can be a problem, for example, the selection in emacs won't work, since it's bound to that same key, and also, you can't select various items in explorer, by pressing ctrl+space.

I configure it like this: Add it to farr's directory of scripts.
Then, when i want to use ctrl+space, i press ctrl+space to bring up farr, and i type exit[enter], to execute this script.
The script closes farr, and keeps itself in the tray.
It creates a hotkey, so that when i press [windows key]+F, it runs farr, and exits.

It's just an easy way of being able to use ctrl+space, and still be able to call farr up real fast again, since farr is all about speed and productivity ;)

(.ahk file attached, .rar contains .ahk and .exe)

This does not make your script null and void, but what about alt-space and pause/break?  I have never used ctrl-space... also, I know mouser has a hotkey control in CHS, he could probably add it to FARR if you wanted more configurability.

But, at the end of the day, if your script does what you want, use it!

jgpaiva:
:)  kfitting that's not the issue.
I don't like to use pause (it's too far ;) ), and alt+space has a strange focus behaviour.
I do like to use ctrl+space, but sometimes, i just want to disable it, that's what this script is for ;)
I just execute "exit", and when i want to use farr again, i press ctrl+f :D

jgpaiva, thanks for pointing out this thread for the request i made here. btw, for portability reasons, i've made some changes and i hope you don't mind. :) and i've also made another script that brings Farr to the front when using the mouse (i use this as a link in Launchbar Commander)..
