Using an Alias on a plugin
« on: August 28, 2020, 01:32 PM »

I'm trying to set a custom alias (tilde) on this plugin, but it doesn't save when I close this dialog or work. I tried with other characters and it still doesn't work.

I'm using the latest version of FARR v2.239.03. Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug?

I don't know how to fix the plugin itself. But you could try an external AutoHotkey script as a workaround. This might do the trick, if I understand the plugin screenshot correctly.

Code: Autohotkey [Select]
  1. ; use ' as hotkey to send string "tab " if pressed when FARR is active and searchbox is empty
  2. #IfWinActive, ahk_exe FindAndRunRobot.exe
  3. '::
  4.   ControlGetText, FarrText, TEdit1, ahk_exe FindAndRunRobot.exe
  5.   if !FarrText
  6.     Send tab%A_Space%
  7. Return

Thank you! This is a good stop-gap.

I suspect it's a bug with FARR not the plugin, as I imagine FARR's the one that handles the alias.
