Download AutoHotkey 1.0.44.01

AutoHotkey is developed in C++ and allows you to put frequently used keystrokes, actions and/or button combos with the keyboard, mouse and gamepad behind a hotkey, so that the relevant action is performed in one go. It is also possible to convert previously scripted key combinations from AutoIt2 to the scripting language from AutoHotkey. The developer has been busy and released version 1.0.44.01 with the following changes since the last entry in the junk tracker:

Version 1.0.44.01:

• Fixed StatusBar’s grabbing of UpDowns that are added after it. [thanks Tekl]
• Changed Round() to display exactly N decimal places rather than obeying SetFormat.

Version 1.0.44:

• Fixed OnClipboardChange to work even when the script is displaying a MsgBox or other dialog.
• Fixed FileCreateDir not to report ErrorLevel 1 when the specified directory ends in “\”. [thanks Wesley]
• Fixed hotkeys Control::, Shift::, and Alt:: to fire on release of the key rather than press-down (broken by v1.0.41).
• Fixed loading of icon #1 from nonstandard file types such as .bin.
• Fixed ListView creation to obey the text color set by “Gui Font”.
• Changed and fixed the hotkey tilde prefix (~) so that hotkeys like ~Esc and Esc are considered duplicates; that is, a script cannot define both ~Esc and Esc unless they are under different #IfWin criteria (in which case ~Esc and Esc have been fixed to work properly). [thanks jballi]
• Changed and improved ListViews: 1) a new option WantF2 is in effect by default, which causes an F2 keystroke to edit the current row (when not ReadOnly); 2) added LV_Modify(Row, “Fish”) to scroll an item into view; 3) drag notifications occur even without AltSubmit; 4) item-change notifications have A_EventInfo set to the row number; 5) ErrorLevel no longer mirrors A_EventInfo in cases where it was never documented to do so (same for GuiContextMenu).
• Improved Edit controls to select all text in response to Control-A. This can be disabled via -WantCtrlA.
• Added new GUI control types TreeView and StatusBar.

Version 1.0.43.11:

• Fixed %A_WorkingDir% on Windows 9x, which was sometimes blank. [thanks Points]
• Improved BlockInput with a new mode that blocks only physical movement of the mouse, not keystrokes or mouse clicks.

Version 1.0.43.10:

• Improved PixelGetColor with two alternate modes that work in a broader variety of windows and full-screen apps. [thanks TDMedia]
• Improved StringMid to allow “Count” to be omitted to retrieve all characters. [thanks kapege.de]
• Improved FileSelectFile to support special folders such as My Computer via CLSID strings (FileSelectFolder and Run already support them).
