Working together with AutoHotkey

[John_C]

Does anybody here use AutoHotkey and DiffMerge?

I found some strange behavior, but it's unclear is it a bug of XYplorer or is it a bug AutoHokey. In Widows Explorer it works correctly though, that's why I tend to think it is some issue with XYplorer.

Below you could see the script which will diff two files of your choice with DiffMerge utility. To test it, just select two files (in the same folder) and then press Win+D.

For some reason, SendMode, Input doesn't properly work in combination with #d. If you remove SendMode, Input or if you change hotkey to something different, e.g. #a -- everything works fine. The DiffMerge window will be opened above XYplorer window (correct behavior).

But if you keep both SendMode, Input and #d -- then DiffMerge window will be opened under XYplorer window.

Why?

Code: Select all

#SingleInstance, Force

SendMode, Input
ClipWaitTime := 2

#d::
    ClipboardSaved := ClipboardAll

    Clipboard := ""
    Send, ^c
    ClipWait, %ClipWaitTime%
    If ErrorLevel
        Return

    Clipboard := RegExReplace(Clipboard, "(.*)\r\n(.*)", """$1"" ""$2""")
    DiffMergePath := A_ProgramFiles . "\SourceGear\Common\DiffMerge\sgdm.exe"
    Run, %DiffMergePath% %Clipboard%

    Clipboard := ClipboardSaved
Return

update: It seems that #f doesn't properly work either (it behaves in the same way as #d). Hm! Very very VERY strange. What's wrong with D and F?

And that's exactly what is happening here...

Wohoo! Fixed in AutoHotkey 1.1.30.00. Thanks!

Hm. But now it doesn't work again. What's the hell is going on...
