Download AutoHotkey 1.0.47

AutoHotkey is developed in C++ and allows you to put frequently used keystrokes, actions and button combos with the keyboard, mouse or gamepad behind a shortcut, so that the respective 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 released version 1.0.47 with the following changes since the previous entry in the junk tracker:

Version 1.0.47:

• Added support for function libraries, which allow a script to call a function in an external file without having to use #Include.
• Added RegisterCallback(), which creates a machine-code address that when called, redirects the call to a function in the script. [developed by Jonathan Rennison (JGR)]
• Added NumGet() and NumPut(), which retrieve/store binary numbers with much greater speed than Extract/InsertInteger.
• Improved Sort with an option to do custom sorting according to the criteria in a callback function. [thanks Laszlo]
• Improved OnMessage() with an option to allow more than one simultaneous thread. [thanks JGR]
• Improved Critical with an option to change the message-check interval, which may improve reliability for some usages. [thanks Majkinetor and JGR]
• Changed Critical to put Set BatchLines -1 into effect.
• Changed the error messages produced by #ErrorStdOut to contain a space before the colon. [thanks Toralf]
• Fixed OnMessage() functions that return one of their own local variables to return the number in that variable, not 0.
• Fixed potential crashing of built-in variables that access the registry (eg A_AppData, A_Desktop, A_MyDocuments, A_ProgramFiles). [thanks Tekl]

Version 1.0.46.17:

• Fixed A_UserName (broken by 1.0.46.16).
