I am trying to understand this bug and I am looking for a workaroud.
Using this script:
#NoEnv
#SingleInstance force
SendMode Input
;Alt+t to send keystrokes
!t::Send, /[]
It send the correct keystrokes /[] to all windows but the windows console (cmd)
Additional Info:
Using autohotkey v1.1.09.02
With an english US keyboard layout, it sends: '90
With a french canadian multilingual keyboard layout, it sends: é^ç
Any idea of what can fix it?
Try this:
#NoEnv
#SingleInstance force
;SendMode Input
;Alt+t to send keystrokes
!t::Send, % chr(047) chr(091) chr(093)
Return
And let me know if it solves your issues.
Found this:
I use multiple languages or keyboard layouts on my system. Why do Send and Hotstrings sometimes send the wrong characters?
This can happen whenever the script's language or keyboard layout does not match that of the active window. To fix it, open the script's main window via its tray icon. While the main window is active, use the language bar (or a language hotkey such as LeftAlt+Shift) to change the script's language/layout to match that of the window you are currently typing in. Switching the script's language can be automated with the following example hotkey:
#l:: ; Win+L hotkey.
ListLines ; Show the script's main window.
WinWaitActive ahk_class AutoHotkey
Send {LAlt down}{Shift}{LAlt up} ; Switch to alternate language (keys must be in this format).
WinMinimize ; Minimize the window found by WinWaitActive above.
return
More info: Like all applications, each script starts off using your default language. If the default does not match that of the active window (where the keystrokes are sent), the difference in keyboard layouts might cause keystrokes sent by the script to be translated into something unexpected.

I am in the Edit Command mode Shortcuts dialog and things seem reasonable ..
But the actual behavior is a different story
When using the Option modifier (plus a non-modifier key) it just ends up printing a high-ascii character value in the add shortcut area .. and then when I refresh the page it has gone away.
I can not get Command modifier (plus a non-modifier key) to work at all. It is jus ignored.
The Control modifier (plus any key) is completely ignored.
So there is a basic usability misunderstanding here. Advice appreciated.
I added 'Ctrl-Q' as a shortcut to restart kernel and run all the cells. You can see the picture below. It is working fine. In the 'Ctrl-Q', 'Q' was just lowercase and it ran successfully.
I try to download file using Autoit from Firefox 28.0.
I try to download a exe file,popup flashed but autoit window info tool cannot recognize the save button.
how can i automate this.
My scripts looks like
Local $hWnd=WinActivate("[CLASS:MozillaDialogClass]")
WinWaitActive($hWnd)
;MsgBox(1,$hWnd,$hWnd)
;ControlClick($hWnd,"","Save")
ControlClick($hWnd,"&Save File","")
;WinClose("[CLASS:MozillaDialogClass]")
how can i automate this......
Right now both of your ControlClick attempts are incorrect. The correct syntax is ControlClick(Window title or handle, *window* text, control *id*, ...). Look at the helpfile and examples for it to see what you're not doing right currently.
The firefox download dialog is a little tricky, googling gives a lot of results for people who have tried to do the same thing and struggled.
The easiest method is to click the window at the coordinates of the button. ControlClick can be used for this (simply leave the control id blank). The AutoIt window info tool should give ControlClick coords when you try and select where the button is.
That method does assume that the button is always in the same place, which is not necessarily the case. Alternatives are to use ControlSend to send the Alt+S combination (or whatever it is for that button).
And finally, it's worth mentioning the IUIAutomation framework which has shown to be very reliable for automating windows that aren't using standard winapi controls.
The simplest way to do is as follows on mozilla:
Use the following code on autoit.au3 file
ControlFocus ( "MozillaDialogClass", "", "" )
Sleep(10)
Send("{ENTER}")
Execute the same file in selenium using:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("C:\\Users\\Balaji\\Desktop\\autoit.exe");
Use the below code to download a file in Firefox using AutoIt.
WinWait("[TITLE:Opening ; CLASS:MozillaDialogClass]","", 10)
If WinExists("[TITLE:Opening ; CLASS:MozillaDialogClass]") Then
; Perform keyboard ALT key + s key to select Save File Radio button using keyboard shortcut.
ControlFocus ( "[TITLE:Opening ; CLASS:MozillaDialogClass]","", "" )
Send("!s")
; Wait for 2 seconds
Sleep(2000)
; Press Keyboard ENTER button.
Send("{ENTER}")
EndIf
(1) For example, I want to set map gd g* in Qt's Fakevim like below but failed.
(2) And also I'd like to set F3 as the save command, how to do it?
(3) In Fakevim, it provides an option "Read .vimrc", but where to find the file .vimrc?
Thank you!
It doesn't look like there is a lot of documentation for FakeVim, so official sources might not exist. Most of this was obtained by experimentation.
If you want to dig deeper, I guess there's no source as official as the actual source: http://qt.gitorious.org/qt-creator/qt-creator/blobs/0809986e501415fe2c8508800b94b5b3169dc048/src/plugins/fakevim/fakevimplugin.cpp
User commands
First off, realize that in Tools>Options>FakeVim>User Command Mapping, you're only setting what your user actions will perform, not how you perform them.
By default, user command #1 is triggered by pressing Alt-V, then 1.
Alt-V, then 2, triggers user action #2, and so on.
You can change the keyboard shortcuts through the general QtCreator configuration interface, under Tools>Options>Environment>Keyboard. There is a "FakeVim" section with all the user actions listed. Select your user action of choice, press the little "erase" icon in the input field under "Shortcut", then press your desired shortcut key, which should appear in the input field.
Second, to finish a command where you would normally press enter, you should literally type in <CR> after the commands. You also need to enter in ':' to enter command mode.
So if you wanted to map the vim save command, ":w", to F3 via FakeVim, you would:
Go to Tools>Options>FakeVim>User Command Mapping.
Enter ":w<CR>" as one of the user commands (say #7).
Go to Tools>Options>Environment>Keyboard.
Find the FakeVim action "UserAction7".
Set F3 as a shortcut for it.
Now, every time you're in the editor, you should be able to click F3 and have the FakeVim :w command execute, which will save your file.
Note that there is also an option to set a shortcut for "Save" directly in the QtCreator keyboard settings, so for this particular shortcut you don't actually need to go through FakeVim.
Setting shortcuts for other vim commands should be similar. Note that you're restricted to the subset of vim commands that FakeVim implements. Refer to the source, linked above, for checking any particular command you're wondering about.
Vimrc file
On Linux this would be ~/.vimrc, a file in the user's home directory. I presume you're asking about Windows.
The best source I can find is this bug report about it being hard to use Fakevim's vimrc on Windows: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTCREATORBUG-8748
Following that, the file Fakevim looks for is ".vimrc" in %USERPROFILE% (you can enter a name like that in Explorer to go to the folder). However, it's tricky to access a file with a name like that on Windows. (Thus why the real vim uses '_vimrc' on Windows -- but FakeVim apparently doesn't, at least at the moment.)
Here is a superuser page with workarounds for how to create such files on Windows: https://superuser.com/questions/64471/create-rename-a-file-folder-that-begins-with-a-dot-in-windows
I wish to simulate a right click on a file. This is done by opening a Windows Explorer window and then right clicking on it.
The main issue is finding the location of the file in Windows Explorer. I am currently using Autoit v3.3.8.1.
My code 's first line:
RunWait (EXPLORER.EXE /n,/e,/select,<filepath>)
The next step is the problem. Finding the coordinates of the file.
After that, right clicking at that coordinates (it seems to me at this time) is not a problem....
Some background:
OS: Windows 7 64-bit
Software Languages: C#, Autoit (for scripting)
The Autoit script is called by a code similar to that below:
Process p = new Process();
p.StartInfo.FileName = "AutoItScript.exe";
p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
p.Start();
The code is compiled into a console class file which is run at startup. The autoit script runs as the explorer window opens up.
It seems as though you are taking the wrong approach to the problem, so I'll answer what you are asking and what you should be asking.
First up though, that line of code is not valid, and is not what you want either. You want to automate the explorer window, and RunWait waits for the program to finish. Furthermore you want those items to be strings, that code would never work.
Finding the item in explorer
The explorer window is just a listview, and so you can use normal listview messages to find the coordinates of an item. This is done most simply by AutoIt's GUIListView library:
#include<GUIListView.au3>
Local $filepath = "D:\test.txt"
Local $iPid = Run("explorer.exe /n,/e,/select," & $filepath)
ProcessWait($iPid)
Sleep(1000)
Local $hList = ControlGetHandle("[CLASS:CabinetWClass]", "", "[CLASS:SysListView32; INSTANCE:1]")
Local $aClient = WinGetPos($hList)
Local $aPos = _GUICtrlListView_GetItemPosition($hList, _GUICtrlListView_GetSelectedIndices($hList))
MouseClick("Right", $aClient[0] + $aPos[0] + 4, $aClient[1] + $aPos[1] + 4)
As has already been mentioned, sending the menu key is definitely a better way than having to move the mouse.
Executing a subitem directly
This is how it should be done. Ideally you should never need an explorer window open at all, and everything can be automated in the background. This should always be what you aim to achieve, as AutoIt is more than capable in most cases. It all depends on what item you want to click. If it is one of the first few items for opening the file in various programs, then it is as simple as either:
Using ShellExecute, setting the verb parameter to whatever it is you want to do.
Checking the registry to find the exact command line used by the program. For this you will need to look under HKCR\.ext where ext is the file extension, the default value will be the name of another key in HKCR which has the actions and icon associated with the filetype. This is pretty well documented online, so google it.
If the action is not one of the program actions (so is built into explorer) then it is a little more complex. Usually the best way will be to look at task manager when you start the program and see what it runs. Other things can be found online, for example (un)zipping. Actions like copy, delete, rename, create shortcut, send to... They can all be done directly from AutoIt with the various File* functions.
With more information, it would be possible to give you more specific help.
First, you might want to look at the Microsoft Active Accessibility SDK. In particular look at this interface...
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/accessibility.iaccessible.aspx
You can use this to walk the items in the control and find the one with the file name you are looking for and its screen location.
From there, maybe try something like this for simulating the right click.
How can I use automation to right-click with a mouse in Windows 7?
Once you have done the right click, use accessibility again to find the right option on the context menu.
Maybe there's an easier way, you should be able to cobble something together like this if you don't find one. Good luck!
Suppose I have a file named test.txt on D drive. It needs to right click for opening Context Menu. To do this, the following code should work:
Local $filepath = "D:\test.txt"
Local $iPid = Run("explorer.exe /n,/e,/select," & $filepath)
ProcessWait($iPid)
Sleep(1000)
Send('+{F10}')
I've been playing around with some ANSI stuff (like colors etc.) in java and php (from scratch) and I'm trying to find a way to basically wait for a key press. I'd like to have something like the following pseudo code at the end of my main event loop:
If (KeyPressed)
Begin
var event = new KeyboardEvent();
event.Key = ReadKey();
this.BubbleEvent(event);
End
But everything I've been trying over the last couple days fails because the key presses only become available on STDIN after the user has pressed enter.
It doesn't matter much what language you answer in, but java, php, plain old c or c# would be nicest, and I cannot use any really spiffy library stuff because I need to port it to all four of those languages... I need this to work over a telnet or ssh connection, but my research so far suggests it is impossible unless you're working on the local machine.
Please prove me wrong.
The curses function cbreak(3) will disable line-buffering and erase/kill handling. You can do this yourself with stty(1) if you really want.
When your program dies and leaves the terminal in cbreak mode, you can usually use either stty sane or reset to bring the terminal back to a reasonable state.
From within Perl, you can use either the Term::ReadKey or the Curses module to manipulate the terminal. See the Term::ReadKey(3pm) or Curses(3pm) manpage for details.
From within C, you can use either ioctl(2) calls on the terminal device to turn on cbreak mode, or you can use curses. See the ncurses(3) manpage for details.
I know, this is an old thread, but I could not find a suitable answer anywhere else. So with some help from the senior programmers of my company I came up with this:
private void waitKeypress() throws IOException
{
System.in.read();
while ( System.in.available() > 0 )
{
System.in.read();
}
}
The part reading as much input as is available solved my problem that when used multiple times, "System.in.read()" alone does not always wait.
For me this does the trick, I use it like this:
doSomething();
waitKeypress();
doNextThing();
Hope it helps.
Kind regards,
Ralph
