If you’re really good at calcs in Tableau, or getting good at it, it can be right up your alley, if you just focus on the core concepts before jumping super deep. I like alt+f7, you can increase the amount captured by your script if you “#KeyHistory #” in your header - No double quotes.įor those getting into it first time::: I recommending using the “AutoHotkey Help” and start from the beginner tutorial. !F7::KeyHistory - I’d recommend always having a at the end, this can help explain what’s going on in the back end. SetKeyDelay, 300,500 - …long story short with sendmode event, it plays well with Tableaus software/computer delay, and as you begin making these scripts, “Sleep, 1000” all over the place to get the timing of keys down is just not good.īlockInput On - a means of keeping end user from being able to click off, type things, etc… send event (if i recall correctly) allows for good send controls because it holds all incoming traffic until the portion is complete (aka Return) Sendmode Event - …after many hours and hours of debugging, sendmode event stole the show and just KEPT working.
KEYBOARD MAESTRO USER INPUT MODS
send event does this “INSTANTLY”, other mods TYPE IT OUT, extremely slowly… Z1 = your calc logic, you dont need anything crazy around this, it will simply zap it in there.
KEYBOARD MAESTRO USER INPUT CODE
…Some code that generates a calc, titles it, and tabs down to paste a calculation, z1 & z2 semi colon is COMMENT OUT, double dash - is a comment out in stand sql syntax, so in notepad ++ this looks great because it will catch comments as sql comments, YW! By default, Send is synonymous SendEvent but it can be made a synonym for SendInput or SendPlay via SendMode.” The rate at which keystrokes are sent is determined by SetKeyDelay. “SendEvent : SendEvent sends keystrokes using the same method as the pre-1.0.43 Send command. Below quote explains keystroke delay time global set, which is pretty great once you realize all the limitations with the default send mods. “for sure” clean way to make sure everything fires off. I’m using Sendmode Input, as it can be more reliable for key strokes. How did you handle the initial release of the “new” keys, and then your app releases all the fresh code? I ended up getting around it with being logical about the literal button and also “hopefully it works” a catch to WAIT if the end user hasn’t released the original buttons… I like the direction you’re going, one big mention - I see the intro controls can often JAM UP the logic later in the script, here’s a little knowledge transfer for those passing through.
Need to generate a few hundred calcs, high risk of error with tools available, and been thinking, might as well just script all of it.
maybe it could be a different super relevant scenario. I was thinking along the lines of ONE CLICK WIN button. Just landed in a similar boat, will be releasing all the source code of an “arcade style” for common steps generated.īelow I’d like to share similar to what you’re doing. I do have a question, I’m interested to know why you replaced alt+a+c with another 3 button combination? I’ve done this on other apps because it felt more natural, habit from Counter Strike days maybe?
Keyboard Maestro would be a much better solution - Updated by Tyler GarrettĬorey, this is absolutely great. We’ve grown up a little to understand that user-friendly wins and AHK is cool when you need it. Update: We use Keyboard Maestro now, it’s much more user-friendly - this here looks scary.
