AutoHotkey usage
Using .ahk files in a module
Replace all #SKINNAME#
instances you see on this page with your module name
The following guide will show you how you can use AHK to run 2 toggling bangs by pressing a hotkey for your module. Of course, this isn't what AHK is limited to do, as demonstrated by the YourFlyouts module.
Getting started
Create file ./@Resources/Actions/Source code/#SKINNAME#.ahk
And create file ./@Resources/Actions/Source code/Close.ahk
And finally, create file ./@Resources/Actions/Hotkeys.ini
Assigning default values
As you can see, in Hotkeys.ini
the values are blank. We'll have to assign a default value first.
You can either put these values in the file, to make the default hotkey
LWin W
Or you can visit your settings page (if you made one) and change the hotkey.
Open the
@Start
skin from the Rainmeter manage panel.
Integration to your module
This method works, but can be more efficient by the use of a lua script.
Paste the 2 blocks into your main skin file.
Add the following contents to the
[Rainmeter]
section:This allows the module to:
Always stay on top of other windows
Launch the ahk process when the module is activated
Dismiss on unfocus
Close all ahk process when the module exits
