A curated list of awesome AutoHotkey libraries, library distributions, scripts, tools and resources.

awesome-autohotkey's Issues

Connect awesome-Autohotkey with waffle.io

Waffle.io offers a cute graphical interface to work with github-issues (like trello). It's more intuitive to work with issues via waffle.io

The connection between waffle.io and awesome Autohotkey has to be established by an admin og the github organization ahkscript ....

See: https://github.com/waffleio/waffle.io/wiki/FAQs#add-new-board

waffle.io badge position

Is there any special reason for placing waffle badge on the top of the list (like any functionality depends on position or any other)? If there is no any special reason I think it is better to move it along other badges (list will look more structured).
What you think about that?

Author and state (discontinued) position in item.

This Issue came from that discussion #21 (comment) .

First of all, does we really need to write name of the author? Does it gives any useful information for the reader? Also many item have several authors. I think we should not write author. If we decide to use author I think it should be italic and enclosed by two -, like -author-.
What you think about it?

I think it is very important to know if item is discontinued so the reader should get this information in first place. I think (discontinued) should come after name (and if we decide to use author, after author too) of the item and should be bold and have ! sign, like (discontinued!). So it should look like:

Without author:
[Item name](Item name) - (discontinued!). Description and links.

OR

With author:
[Item name](Item name) - by author - (discontinued!). Description and links.

Why commit 70066ea was reverted with 4d0e758 ?

I think commit 70066ea is useful because it adds html anchors that are needed and puts Decompilers in right alphabetical order. So why commit 70066ea was reverted with 4d0e758 ?

add "AutoHotkey Library Distribution"

I suggest adding "AutoHotkey Library Distribution" under scripts.
Markdown:

## AutoHotkey Library Distribution

Data format - suggestions

I saw @hoppfrosch added a new section "Data format"

Not sure if these two fit there ❓

• AutoHotkey Object - XML by trueski - Save and load AutoHotkey objects (Arrays) in XML format. Forum link

Note: link to my repo as that has a working version, the code on ahk . com is messed up due to forum upgrade AND it has a additional function to clean invalid characters https://github.com/hi5/CL3/blob/master/lib/XA.ahk#L172

• ObjDump / ObjLoad by HotKeyIt - Read and write AutoHotkey objects (Arrays) from / to binary file. Forum link

Scripts > Mouse > Mouse Gesture Script

This looks like one of the more complete mouse gesture scripts I've seen (not that I've looked at many)

English introduction here

Download link of latest version (don' t worry script also in English):
http://www.vector.co.jp/download/file/winnt/util/fh633547.html
(big green download button)

Script includes an English CHM help file.

Should it be added under Scripts > Mouse > Mouse Gesture Script like so

* [MouseGestureL](http://www.vector.co.jp/download/file/winnt/util/fh633547.html) - Control all of the applications by mouse gesture, gestures and actions defined via customizable interface. Documentation in English and Japanese - Japanese Homepage [link](http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA018351/mglahk.html)

Historical: VIC

Very good program (ANSI, AHK 1.0) only, but a "regular" text editor so not directly suitable for "Integrated Development Environment" as it is not focused on AHK. Not sure which category to use here.

Perhaps in Sockets? Or introduce HTTP server category, or network

Add "Console" under "Libraries"

Adding a "console" section to "libraries" it can include LibCon.ahk and any other console libraries.

Console section in libraries isn't placed alphabetically

Should I fix it, or is there a reason for it being out of order?

Tools-GUI WYSIWYG Builders: AutoGUI

I suggest we add this great GUI-Builder scripts to Typing.

Merge my ScriptList website with this repo

Think it'd be alright for me to merge my ScriptList website (basically just this in website form) with this repo, by creating a gh-pages branch and copying the web files into it? It wouldn't interfere with the main branch.

RunAsTask

SKAN's RunAsTask deserves inclusion.
A neat solution to the UAC issue when trying to run scripts as admin.
You only need to accept the prompt once, even on subsequent boots.
http://ahkscript.org/boards/viewtopic.php?t=4334

GH pages

Not sure where the GH pages is going but at the moment it seems to be a duplication of markdown content, shouldn't it therefore be more productive to write a script that converts the readme.md to HTML so you can simply update (sections of) HTML pages?

• AHK solution for parsing Markdown: https://github.com/fincs/GenDocs/blob/master/Lib/Markdown2HTML.ahk (also requires StrStartsWith from the same LIB folder)
• Third party solutions
  • https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/
  • https://github.com/fletcher/MultiMarkdown

Change links from ahkscript.com to autohotkey.com

Due to the migration from ahkscript.com to autohotkey.com the links within the listshould be updated

Also the protocol within the links should be changed from http to https

Opinions?

Why two commits have unknowns author. Why?

There are two commits (70066ea and 4d0e758) that have unknown author. Why it is so? Is this some kind of bug?

Usage of new github features

Github got some changes recently - amongst other things:

Issue and Pull Request templates

I would suggest to do the following:

• Introduce a .github-golder into this repository
• Move file contributing.md into .github-folder (https://help.github.com/articles/setting-guidelines-for-repository-contributors/)
• Introduce a template for issues (https://help.github.com/articles/creating-an-issue-template-for-your-repository/) Having this, suggesting new entries for this list via an issue would be unified.
• Maybe we might use a pull request template ... https://help.github.com/articles/creating-a-pull-request-template-for-your-repository/

Suggest subtopic name for "Coding Helpers"

Is "coding helpers" ok ? I plan to add scripts that help with AHK programming. I will add them under "Tools" section but I am not sure what should be the name of the sub-group.

Some scripts I want to add are -

• GoTo - Add-on for any text editor that helps you jump to labels, hotkeys, hotstrings and functions in the active file.
• Context sensitive help in any editor - Add-on for any text editor that provides context sensitive help by pressing F1.

Add a common use "functions" section

A new 'Functions" section :)
This would fit under it.
#34

Gh-pages : viewport / mobile site

@G33kDude
I'm my phone so, I can make a pull request. But add a viewport, so it can be viewed on mobile devices in a neater "package".

add "CodeQuickTester"

I want to add my code tester but I can't find a good section to put it in. It is a development tool, but it's hardly an integrated development environment.

New entry: GoToTilla

I think it's worth to be added to section Tools-Others::

fincs' eval is broken

There are no plans to fix it, either. Should it be removed from the list or just marked as broken somehow, using strikethrough perhaps? I see a lot of items marked (discontinued), perhaps those should get strikethrough too?

HotClass / CvJoyInterface

Hi, whilst I appreciate inclusion in your curated list, HotClass was an experiment that never really reached maturity.

I have recently started work on a replacement for the hotkey GuiControl, which utilizes the same SetWindowsHookEx technique, but the code is more refined and ready for deployment.
There is currently no documentation, and it is still maybe a little immature, but it's still better than the default AHK hotkey guicontrol (eg it supports mouse buttons).
https://github.com/evilC/CHotkeyControl

Also, seeing as AHK does not support Joystick Output, might I also recommend for inclusion my vJoy feeder library CvJoyInterface. This allows you to control a vJoy virtual joystick with AHK. It's super easy to use and is well documented.
https://github.com/evilC/AHK-CvJoyInterface

Capitalization of AutoHotkey is inconsistent

There are numerous places where it's written Autohotkey instead of AutoHotkey. Should these be changed in one fell swoop?

Typing: Thumbscript, half-qwerty

I suggest we add these two innovative (I think so) typing scripts to Typing.

Thumbscript
http://autohotkey.com/board/topic/27198-beta-thumbscript-ahk/

Half-QWERTY: One-handed Typing
http://autohotkey.com/board/topic/1257-half-qwerty-one-handed-typing/page-6#entry216183

Change the order of badges

I have changed the order of badges. I think that way they are more structured.
I think that gh badge should come first because it is in fact copy of awesome list. Next should come badges that are associated with awesome-Autohotkey list (gitter and waffle). And after should come all other badges.
What you think about it?

Add new issue label in github: addition

In order to distinguish requests for additions to the list from general page enhancements, there should be created a new label "addition" for github issues (beside existing "enhancement" label.

I'm not sure if this is possible - and who is able to do this? (maybe owner of project "awesome-AutoHotkey"?)

Remove rshipp-patch-1 branch

While we're doing some cleaning up: the rshipp-patch-1 branch can probably be safely removed as well.

Use unique anchor tags for each item in the table of contents

Be sure to use unique anchor tags for each item in the table of contents, I've fixed it by adding the category prefix e.g. scripts-clipboard, scripts-gui etc. Simply create a named anchor like so:

<a name="scripts-gui"></a>

Update title of "Beautiful Examples of GUIs" to whatever it is now

Tutorial section

I added tutorial section.
What you think it is better to have separate tutorial section or tutorials should be included in Resources section?

New page: Historical.md

Resulting from discussions in #42 a new page "historical.md" should be generated, which should hold all "awesome scripts, which aren't state of the art anymore. Discontinued scripts could be moved there - if they are worth being kept on the awesome list."

fincs' eval is broken

There are no plans to fix it, either. Should it be removed from the list or just marked as broken somehow? Strikethrough perhaps?

add "ahkbook"

I think this deserves a mention, even though it is not complete.
