Op de site van AutoHotkey kan sinds gisteren versie 1.0.42 gedownload worden. De nieuwbakken versie is vanaf deze pagina in verschillende vormen naar binnen te halen. AutoHotkey wordt ontwikkeld in C++ en stelt je in staat om vaak gebruikte toetsaanslagen, handelingen en/of knoppencombo's met het toetsenbord, muis en gamepad achter een sneltoets te zetten, zodat de betreffende handeling in één keer wordt uitgevoerd. Daarbij is het mogelijk om eerder gescripte toetscombinaties van AutoIt2 te converteren naar de scripttaal van AutoKey. Het changelog van versie 1.0.42 ziet er als volgt uit:
1.0.42[break]
- Fixed expressions such as "If not Installed" not to be misinterpreted as "If not in List". [thanks Toralf]
- Fixed certain unusual situations where a hotkey would unnecessarily require the keyboard hook.
- Fixed vkNNN hotkeys to be handled by the hook when that VK is also used as a prefix for other hotkeys.
- Fixed #IfWin's automatic disabling of prefix keys work properly if Suspend is ON.
- Fixed minor hotkey issues on Windows 95/98/Me: 1) The wildcard prefix (*) is ignored and such hotkeys are put into effect rather than being disabled; 2) Non-wildcard hotkeys that are a subset of a wildcard hotkey are put into effect rather than being disabled; 3) A left/right hotkey such as >#x is put into effect as Win-X rather than simply "X".
- Changed the Hotkey command to create a new variant (when appropriate) rather than always updating any existing hotkey of that name. Please update your scripts accordingly.
- Changed hotkeys to recognize ^!c as being the same as !^c (different symbol order). This also affects the Hotkey command.
- Improved the Hotkey command to support UseErrorLevel and context-sensitive hotkeys (via "Hotkey IfWinActive/Exist").
- Improved #IfWinActive/Exist to support Windows9x. In addition, the keyboard hook is now avoided whenever possible. Finally, #IfWin now sets the Last Found Window.
- Improved the following commands to support TListBox/TComboBox and possibly others: Control (Add/Delete/Choose/ChooseString); and ControlGet (FindString/Choice/List).
- Added support for hotkey and hotstring variants (duplicates). Such hotkeys perform a different action (or none at all) depending on the type of window that is active or exists.
