Using an Alias on a plugin

Using an Alias on a plugin

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. #NoEnv
2. #SingleInstance force
3. ; use ' as hotkey to send string "tab " if pressed when FARR is active and searchbox is empty
4. #IfWinActive, ahk_exe FindAndRunRobot.exe
5. '::
6.   ControlGetText, FarrText, TEdit1, ahk_exe FindAndRunRobot.exe
7.   if !FarrText
8.     Send tab%A_Space%
9. Return
10. #IfWinActive

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.
