AutoAC

To start, run either AutoCommand.ahk (requires Autohotkey) or the compiled version AutoCommand.exe

Commands may be sent directly with a Shortcut

When you input the Hotkey of a Filter:

• Typing will narrow down the list of commands
• Hitting Enter will either:
  • Let you select a command from the menu by choosing its number, 1-9
  • Automatically select the last command if only one exists
  • Cancel if the list is empty.
• If there is a TemplateExpression and blanks that need to be filled in the selected command supply them by typing before submitting with Enter
• ProcessCommand() is where the selected command is handled.

Config

Configuration is done in the Config.ini file.

Settings

• If UBBroadcastPath is set to a valid path it will try to use UtilityBeltBroadcast to send a command to all connected clients.

  • WIP, will eventually implement tags or something more specific

• MinCharacters is the minimum amount input before matching commands are sought

• MaxResults is the max matching commands to be shown

• TooltipPosition will set the location the tooltip shows at. If missing or incorrect it will show by the mouse as you type.

• CommandPath is the file that keeps that commands the script looks for matches in.

• If TemplateExpression isn't blank you'll be prompted to kill in blanks matching it in the selected command

  • Ex. A $$, a $$, a $$: Panama would prompt you for input 3 times if TemplateExpression was $$

• If ActiveWindows has a value, [Hotkey] actions will only trigger if the active window matches that comma-separated list

  • Title	Matching Behaviour
    [Part of Window title]
    ahk_class	Window Class
    ahk_id	Unique ID/HWND
    ahk_pid	Process ID
    ahk_exe	Process Name/Path
    	Multiple Criteria

  • Ex: ActiveWindows=Aqua1,ahk_class Notepad would only work when Notepad or a window with Aqua1 in the title were active.

Filters

• The normal mode matches if the input is a substring of a command.
• Use UseSplitTerms=1 to separate the input on spaces/tabs and match each term individually
  • Ex. eq 1 would match /ub equip 13
• Set options for RegexFilter with RegexOptions
  • D as an option ensures there is an end line
  • Di would also make it case-insensitive
• For StringDistanceFilter
  • IncludeRating=1 displays distance between the input and command in the menu
  • MinRatingToMatch sets a minimum acceptable distance to match

Hotkeys

• Set zero-plus comma-separated hotkeys for anything in the [Hotkeys] or [GlobalHotkeys] section using the Autohotkey syntax.
  • Reuse of a hotkey will replace what it was previously assigned to.
  • [GlobalHotkeys] work regardless of restrictions on the active window
  • Ex: RepeatCommand=#F5,XButton1 would send your last command again with Win+F5 or the back button on your mouse
• Set hotkeys for:
  • CommandFilter - Filters commands by input or each word of the input if UseSplitTerms=1
  • RegexFilter - Filters by regular expression
    • Ex. ^.{5,15}$ would match commands that have 5-15 characters between the start and end of a line.
  • StringDistanceFilter - Filters by string similarity (using Chunjee's library)
  • RepeatCommand - Resends your last selected command, if one exists
  • ClearInput - Tries to clear the filter text
  • SortCommands - Alphabetically sorts your commands and gets rid of duplicates
  • AddCommand - Adds whatever you type before the next Enter at the end of your commands if it doesn't already exist
  • AddClipboardAsCommand - Adds whatever is in your clipboard to your commands (if under 1k characters, no new lines, and unique)
  • Reload - Reload the script and commands
  • Exit - Quits out of the script. Can also be done through the TrayIcon with an 'A' on it

Shortcuts

• [Shortcuts] let you map a hotkey to a command directly.
  • Works with TemplateExpression
  • Similar to the hotkeys there is a [GlobalShortcuts] that won't restrict shortcut by the active window.
  • Ex: XButton2=/mt jump would map the forward mouse button to

AC Specific

Some WIP functionality for sending key/mouse input to inactive AC windows is included in ACHelpers.ahk

Hotkeys added:

• MaximizeAll - Set all AC windows to borderless-fullscreen
• BorderlessAll - Set all AC windows to borderless
• ClickAll - Send a click at the current mouse position to all AC windows
• Jump - Starts holding space
• ReleaseJump - Releases space

Demo

The demo shows:

• A regular search to narrow in on navs
• A string similarity search (for the typo-prone) with a template parameter to be filled
• Making hotkeys global

Todo?

Feel free to make suggestions!

• Filter commands by active window

• Alternative ways of handling selected command without requiring editing of the script/install AHK

• Improved command syntax. Allow comments/other command-specific configuration.

• Make StrSplit when reading the Ini only split on the correct/first =
