My 5 Favorite AutoHotKey Scripts

[@thanhvo3424]

Love this so much! Thank you Tyler! I'm a recruiter that handles a lot of emails and Hubspot Tickets on a daily basis, and this is beautiifull!! Big support from Vietnam!

The auto-pdf-to-clipboard is amazing

[@LivingGuy484]

I would really appreciate the VBA that makes a PDF in the same folder, this is awesome

[@komm11]

Thank you for sharing, nice to see the programmer)

[@americanmacgyver]

Thank you Mr. Faulkner. Yes, I would watch a video from you about VBA as well. I like that you gave practical examples.

[@JoeGlines-Automator]

Great job Tyler! Very cool examples and you did a great job easing people into AHK! Great to see working examples! There are some great gems here! :)

[@DavidJJJ]

Great automations, I love the hierarchical menu, I could definitely use that.

[@davidsonshine9678]

Thanks Tyler Faulkner. I am using AutoHotKey to type this comment. Lol, just kidding.

[@Therefour]

really great video! I will definitely be using some of these as inspiration

[@my_pleasure_in_your_leisure]

Tyler, brother, great video. Definitely do more, including VBA. I noticed you used mouse to click on that software. Tip: you can start/switch frequent apps by pressing Win-number; additionally you can send this hotkeys to numpad and switch between 9 main apps (Excel, browser, messengers) with only one key, no mouse, no Alt-Tab, no workspaces. Also: instead of fixing calc and NPP on the taskbar I chose to set hotkeys for them: Win-C and Win-N. Cortana easy to disable. Or launch them with > alt, shift. Or even hotstrings. Also, more advanced: you can set python scripts to AHK shortcuts, it changes the game completely. Definitely do more.

Cheers for the video, some nice automation there, I've been putting stuff together in VBA and power automate, would definitely be interested to see what other scripts you've put together VBA and AHK

[@simonlpoisson]

Good video, thank you for the inspiration from France

[@50PullUps]

6:49 this little menu would be awesome for filling out job applications. Instead of copying & pasting items from your resume into the web page’s fields, a single-click GUI for inserting the info would make the tedium of job hunting a little less horrible.

[@terfand]

Thank you Tyler!

[@mksounds]

Hello. Great tutorial. One question: how do you close a window without knowing it's name? I mean klicking the close button

[@arbabirfan2448]

cool and all VBA things also can be done in AHK 7:00 if that is win32 menu, you do not even have to match menus AHK can read them and you can make list out of it

[@kingsamuelngonga]

Wow just wow

[@suvarnakolhe808]

Great job

[@richardwilliamsmusic]

how do you take the code commands you wrote in vscode and have them apply to your computer as macros?

[@yanchaniago9395]

HI Sir.. I am new the this AHK. I run this program which requires me to keep pressing the Ctrl Button. So I want to change these following combo buttons into 1 click only. Ctrl+Z to Z Ctrl+ UpArrow to UpArrow Ctrl+Down Arrow to DownArrow Can you Help? Thanks a bunch.

My favourite turns numlock on every 500ms. Every time you enter a hyper-v machine it turns it off which always drove me crazy.

[@Russels_Viper]

Hello there,, I am trying to use a simple script to replace '

[@shonilcha]

Great job on the Whisper tool Sir.. I am trying to get rid of the line breaks in the transcript output that it gives me. Is there a way to remove that?

[@tbfaulk]

I'm not aware of an option for this in Whisper. However, whenever I've wanted to remove the breaks, I just find/replace in notepad++. Specifically, I use a regex search for carriage return and line feed characters.

[@bennguyen1313]

What is the difference between AutoHotKey and AutoKey.. either in syntax or philosophy. I'd like to make a simple gui ( few textboxes, few red/green indicators, and pushbuttons).. but I also need to call functions from a 32-bit dll. Can this be easily done? BTW, Keith Galli has a nice solution (using AseemblyAi) to transcribe audio files.

[@tbfaulk]

I've never heard of autokey, but a quick Google search shows it's specifically made for Linux. I don't believe the two are related.

[@bennguyen1313]

@@tbfaulk Sorry meant to write "AutoIt v3"

[@tbfaulk]

Ah, gotcha. I understand that AutoHotKey is actually a branch of AutoIT. I don't know all the history of it, but I actually thought AutoIT was no longer in development.

[@pankajgarg2341]

Can you share how to make the buttons for auto-pdf-to-clipboard please?

[@tbfaulk]

Yep! This is the code that will convert the current sheet into a PDF (pure VBA) Sub SaveAsPDF() Folder = ThisWorkbook.Path FullName = ThisWorkbook.Name filenamewoext = Left(FullName, InStr(FullName, ".") - 1) newfilename = Folder & "\" & filenamewoext ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:= _ newfilename, Quality:=xlQualityStandard, IncludeDocProperties:= _ True, IgnorePrintAreas:=False, OpenAfterPublish:=True End Sub And this is the code that will activate the AHK script (note that you must have the script running in order for this to work). Sub CopyPDFtoClipboard() SendKeys "^%+{F1}" Application.SendKeys "{NUMLOCK}" End Sub You can just copy-paste this into a new VBA module to create the macros. You can then create buttons and assign the macros to them. If you like, I can email you the spreadsheet directly.

[@mcdizzzzle]

Just thought I'd share this function that you could incorporate in your menu script (#4). This will paste the text instantly. Very useful for longer strings. SendClip(str) { bak := ClipboardAll() A_Clipboard := str BlockInput true Send("^v") Loop 20 Sleep 50 Until !DllCall("GetOpenClipboardWindow") BlockInput false A_Clipboard := bak }

[@tbfaulk]

Thanks! I do use the clipboard for pasting longer strings, but I didn't want to try to dive into that in this video. However, I'm not familiar with the block input. I'll have to check that out;

[@LivingGuy484]

I would really appreciate the VBA that makes a PDF in the same folder, this is awesome
