For someone who don't know lua (or don't know programming at all) he has to change the code himself... I Will search for something better

The Q, W, E, A, D, Z, X,C Keys take me to the desktop when I press them instead of doing the wipe effects!

May I ask the reason you went with AHK instead of AutoIt v3 or Python?

With the Lua macros script running, typing still works, but the script still sends the key to AHK. So I'm getting the output of the keyboard along with the macro I've defined. I believe this was a result of updating to windows 10 build 1809, the dreaded October update (I really wanted my clipboard history, okay?).

Can provide a copy of modified files if that's necessary.

If I want to use it to differentiate some buttons which exists both on my keyboard and my mice (e. g. LControl), then I can't do it because the mice does not have a q button

If i understand right you have used LUA macros because AutoHotkeys can not make the difference between the two connected keyboards... Buuuuut I think it can with this addon: https://autohotkey.com/board/topic/38015-ahkhid-an-ahk-implementation-of-the-hid-functions/

This will solve problems like:
-Long write/read on a file
-Only one program is running in background
-Path to the output file

Hey everyone
I'm new to AHK, so I might be doing something wrong but for some reason (with OBS at least, I haven't figured out how to do the other applications I want) there is weird inconsistent acceptance of the hotkeys.

Holding down the button to trigger the bind seems to always make it work, and the keys are always seen by intercept.exe however simply tapping will very rarely work.

Here is my AHK script, there are some duplicates for testing purposes with Voicemod (Which I just can't get to work)
FULL_extra_keyboard.zip

Could you either use diffrent branchs or have seperate repo for each project? As it is getting hard to work out the each folder is for.

I have changed what you called "keypressed at least"
Mine: FileRead, key, A:\HotKeys\2nd-keyboard-master\LUAMACROS\Keypressed stuff\keypressed.txt
When I press the play button it leaves me with this:

2017-12-05 21:37:37:866 [LUA] ERROR: Cannot load buffer.
[string "LuaMacros script"]:1: unexpected symbol near '#'

So I updated to Premiere 2019 and none of the Premiere mods work and since I have problems with it crashing and stuff I think I'm gonna downgrade to Premiere 2017 because 2018 I also had problems with the GPU Acceleration. But what version are you using currently and what versions of Premiere are those scripts compatible? Thanks!

I have every key working except the numpad or keys like scroll lock the only thing that I can think of is that I am using a Uk keyboard so the keys might not line up with the key numbers.

Would be more logical, and make the code more sense.
I am not a LUA programmer, so someone else needs to do this. Sorry

Installer Script

After i saw the new video on Taran's channel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3e_ri-vOIo&t=1s) where he explains the long and tedious process of getting intercept.exe to work, I wondered to myself if there wasn't a simpler way of doing this.
Luckyly there's way of making automated scripts directly in windows (if you didn't know) through batch (.bat) files.
I therefore wrote an comment on the video suggesting making such script. After the approval of Taran himself I've now started hacking on a initial draft.

I just wanted to make this issue to collect feedback and hear peoples thoughts before i submit the script :).

My basic thought is to create a file that automaticly does all the things described in the video.
As i see it the steps are as follows:
1: download the two programs (interception and intercept.exe).
2: Install interception as a admin user (We dont need to install intercept.exe, just unzip it)
3: Fiqure out the keyboard's id (maybe through intercept.exe)
4: Fill out the template keymap by taran.
5: Download the autohotkey script
6: Profit!

I'm gonna try to keep the dependencies as few as possible, since we dont want people to install even more programs on their computer, just to make this work. Therefore i try to stick to tools already avalible in windows by default (hence the use of batch). We might have to pull some libraries for when we want to populate the keymap with the keyboard id, but I'll give you an update on that later ;).

hey, concept of intercept is amazing, but for me unless i alt tab to obs the hotkeys dont work. im not able to start or stop recording or send any hotkey to obs while using chrome or any other window even if im staring at the desktop with obs minimised.

i've tried running obs as administrator didnt help

On my screen, letters are very off-center and any lengthy press (i.e. "LButton) gets completely cut off.
I feel like the code for this UI should be obvious, but nothing I'm changing seems to adjust or fit the black bar background.

I tried adjusting "Gui, Margin, 0, 0" & "Gui, Add, Text, vHotkeyText Center y50" (y50) and neight of those did anything.

Also if you press a Numpad number more than once it deletes the original number post and starts saying "Numpad [number]" again.

Grabbed a better photo of the alignment issue with my phone.

What do I need to change for this?

Hey Taran. Messaging here because that other thread got locked. Lol. If that Karabiner idea sounds like something you're interested in, let me know. I'll end up building most of it for myself anyway.

Saw your videos and got the idea to connect a 10-key pad directly to my Mac and use it to control things like volume, display switching etc. on both my Mac and Win machines, but not pass it through the KVM. That way, regardless of which machine I have the KVM switched to, it always works. For that I'll need to build the Windows daemon and messaging system I was describing anyway.

The only thing extra you might need is a script to generate the Karabiner JSON for the hundreds? of individual buttons you have. I wouldn't want to write that by hand. That isn't very hard to make and might be a good tool to have around anyway. Karabiner's JSON format can get tedious to deal with, even with just the small number of remaps I use right now.

So basically I made a hotkey for Premiere Pro to save the current file to another project because I use a template to open my project up and then save the file to the editing project when I start editing. But for some reason when I press F2 (my stroke) it brings up the action center. I thought maybe the keys that the AutoHotkey was pressing caused it to bring it up but I tried those hotkeys manually and it didn't come up. I'd be glad if you could help thanks!

Code:
F2::
#IfWinActive, ahk_class Premiere Pro
send ^+s
send !d
send C:\Users\aitfr\Documents\Adobe\Premiere Pro\13.0\Editing.prproj
MouseClick Left, 820,580 , 1
Sleep 1
MouseClick Left, 1060,555 , 1

Hey,

So I created a simple script that if I press END the script will press HOME, Sleep 100 and then suspend itself, but for some reason, it doesn't press HOME. I don't know what's the problem... It doesn't tell me any error either. Thanks!

Code:

END::
sendinput, {Home} ;Press Home so my keyboard profile would switch in iCUE. (I made it so if I press
Home iCUE switches between my 2 profiles which are Editing/Programming and Gaming)

Sleep 100 ;Wait for 100 milliseconds
Suspend ;Suspend the hotkeys so if I play games i wouldn't accidentally press one of my hotkeys

Hey all,

I have the corsair K55 up and running with no issues...other than using macros in programs. Whenever I try to use the #ifWinActive (if thingy), it displays a tool tip on the second keyboard and on my primary keyboard the macro works. Tried several solutions, but could not get it to work.

ALSO, I did read this and am still having the issue:
#65

Any tips?

please help to establish the double duration of the clip on the timeline, without changing its speed

for example, this clip should get the duration 6 sec 8 frames and 100% Speed

Plse anser asap

Hello,

As soon as I use my 2nd keyboard (after starting intercept.exe and the .ahk script), I can't use my 1st keyboard anymore, because it does the same functions as the 2nd keyboard, including the macros. Basically, it's as if I have two "2nd" keyboards, and no "1st" keyboard...

Thanks!

Currently trying to setup the Visualiser script, downloading the ahk, ini and creating the txt. It does not seem to be working. I am new to autohotkey so any debugging help would be appreciated. Running ppcc2018. the taskbar icon shows but there is no visualiser, the GUI doesnt seem to launch when the script launches.

I'm hopelessly new to this but learning slowly but surely so forgive me if I am misunderstanding something really basic

-- I went through the Intercept.exe setup and couldn't get it to work but I've got Lua Macros working.

Problem is, it seems like some files got deleted in the github that are being referenced in the Lua AHK script/readme?

Specifically it says in the readme:

"2nd keyboard if using luamacros.ahk only has bare functions for proof of concept. You can write your own functions, or copy/paste some from from All Premiere Functions.ahk, but you'll probably need to modify them to fit your own system, by changing coordinates, windowClasses, colors, shortcuts, and so on."

I found "Almost_All_Premiere_Functions.ahk" but none of the functions seem to line up with the functions mentioned in the Lua AHK file. For instance:

"preset("flip horizontal") " doesn't seem to be present anywhere in the Almost_All_Premiere_Functions.ahk file.

Am I thinking about this completely wrong or is there an older file I should be using if I'm trying to get it working with Lua?

Here is the problem:
for exemple in france we have AZERTY layout and where US layout have the semicolon key we have the 'M' key.
so what is the problem ?
[186] = "semicolon",
...
[string.byte('M')] = "m",
the 'M' key on a french keyboard will take the code 186 which is already taken by the semicolon.
On ISO Layouts keyboards there is also one more key (at the right of the left shift) this key is not declared in your script :'(
(I will try to fix this too)

I would like to create a batch file so that windows automatically executes my .lua file with my macros on startup. I've tried using the task scheduler on win10 but it's useless. It didn't open the file. Could anyone explain me how to do it? Thanks in advance

I cleaned up the Lua file a little bit. I just threw everything into a standard table using keyboard inputs as the keys, and macro names as values.

Using a table structure will dramatically increase keystroke->macro responsiveness.

I haven't tested this at all, and I have to get ready for work, but I'll clean everything else up when I get home ;)

Hi,
Sorry if this is not the best place to ask this...

The moment I add the #IfWinActive command to the AHK script,
AHK will accept Hotkey from BOTH keyboards.

#IfWinActive ahk_exe POWERPNT.EXE
m::
send !l
send p
send m
send {Enter}
return

Tried various combinations to solve this.... any ideas?

I think the licence is missing. In most (if not all) countries where copyright exists, merely publishing the source code doesn't automatically grant any rights to users and fellow developers. In other words, all rights are reserved by the author.

This holds for things other than source code as well. If you publish a post on your blog, or a video on YouTube, without explicit notice you reserve all your rights.

Note: Although some rights are granted to the service provider, e.g. GitHub or Youtube, to allow hosting your content, this usually doesn't apply to your end users. Good services require the bare minimum, e.g. reproducing rights to show your photos and videos to your audience. Bad services want to own your content.

To allow the community to hack and improve your project, which is what you intended I believe, you need to give explicit permission.

when I start the second keyboard script for lua macros
I can still type on the secondary keyboard

Some time ago I opened this ticket for OBS where I was surprised to learn that only linux supports keys up to F35. As it turns out, F24 is the highest F key on Windows, and on OSX F keys go only up to F20 or F19 (I'm not sure which one).

Here is someone else wondering why F20…F24 don't work with QMK and OSX: F20 - F24 do not respond under QMK and OSX.

I guess most of this repo is windows-only, but I thought I'd leave a note in case somebody wants to reproduce these results on other operating systems.

I have created a fork of Intercept here which when given the /apply command line parameter will only show as an icon in the system tray, which has a right click option to exit Intercept. This solves the issue of having a command window sitting around all the time.

Feel free to use it/include it in the guide.

Followed each step in the guide, but when it came to running the script I found that none of the keys on the second keyboard did anything, not even regular keystrokes. LuaMacros recognizes each keystroke but none of the given scripts worked for me.

I'm not entirely sure what the problem is.

Hey there. It's Z3roFPS from Youtube, I answered on your Video last night.

Now I finally got onto a PC, and made a "quick" fix to your Script. Sadly, I can not create a Branch and Pull Request, so I'll just put the link to the Script here.

However, if you were to give me Dev rights, I would definetly help you out some more should you need it.

This is the file: https://pastebin.com/K445QYz5

The fix is basically a new Method (I found with Google) to Combine two Strings that represent a Path, and a Path or a File. Using the helper Method now wherever you checked for publishLOC, I was able to receive a pretty consistant, working result.

This also fixes the Problem that the Script wouldn't work on the Desktop. This now also works flawlessly (On my Win7, Win8 and Win10 Testmachines at least)

Hope this helps.

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is my issue; my script works with OBS studio when it has focus, but as soon as I click another application, it stops working. here is my keyremap.ini and my AHK.ahk

FYI everything is running as admin.

(yes I know there are some keys in the AHK that are not in keyremap.ini.)

files.zip

both Taran's Lua code and autohotkeys code is missing for me, I'm trying to make a soundboard keyboard kind of thing where every key types out a line of words. Where is this legendary Transitions, Effects, and 2nd keyboard functions.ahk that im supposed to be using?

So what exactly does this mean? I'm a noob with programming and lua so I have no idea what to do... My Keyboard an PC is set to German btw. I don't know if that is important.
Please help me :(

2nd-keyboard is a great collection of ahk scripts,can you make two functions to quick open/activate xshell.exe and cmd.exe,because these two program is widely used.

The code has no licence, I'd suggest the MIT licence if you don't particularly care how your code is used or GPL if you want anyone who changes your program to make it open source.

Hi y'all, just to let you know that I shamelessly stole your idea of wrapping keys to set an AHK context, but I found a sneakier way to do it.
I wrote a C# DLL which wraps interception that you call from AHK via CLR, and pass it an AHK function object, along with a VID / PID.
Any time Interception sees input on that device, it fires that AHK function object, which sets the context variable, then it sends the key, then it fires the code again to unset the context variable.
https://github.com/evilC/AutoHotInterception
See "Context Mode".
I also have a mode where you can register a callback for each key ("Subscription Mode")

The lua macros side of things seems to be working fine (except for the non US layout of my keyboard) but the autohotkey side of things just gives me this error:

It is most likely because I did something wrong but I would like to know how to fix it!

I know Teran recomended switching to another program in another thread although I beleive that you require admin rights for it which I do not have on my computer.

You have the wonderful Tippy2 function which shows a tooltip.
I have pasted here a new version which shows a tooltip that follows your mouse very nicely and also consumes no resources.

It is self-contained: you just #include Tippy.ahk at the beginning of your script and then call Tippy("mytext")

If you like how this Tippy works, i can send you a PR with it integrated in your scripts.

Here's the whole code, with examples.

; Show a ToolTip with a message for a specific duration while following the mouse
;
; How it works:
; Function Tippy acts as a launcher for the "show-tip" and "hide-tip-after-duration" functions
; A global variable is used which saves The text to be showed in the tooltip
; Function TippyOn is called on a timer every 10 ms to update the tooltip position (that function also calls itself)
; To hide the tooltip the function TippyOff is called after %Duration% time which turns off the timer for TippyOn so everything is clean
;
; How to use:
; - At the top of your script include this second script:
;           #include Tippy.ahk
; - Then just call Tippy() with the text and duration you want.
;           You have an example at the end of the script!
; The tooltip is beautifully shown using ToolTipFM (a fancier tooltip -- read it's own comments).
Tippy(Text = "", Duration = 1000) {
    global TippyText := Text

    SetTimer, TippyOff, %Duration%
    SetTimer, TippyOn, 10
}

TippyOn() {
    SetTimer, TippyOn, 10
    global TippyText
    ToolTipFM(TippyText)
}

TippyOff() {
    ToolTipFM()
    SetTimer, Tippy, Off
    SetTimer, TippyOn, Off
    SetTimer, TippyOff, Off
    global TippyText := ""
}

Hey, I was looking around the internet for answers and ended up here.

You seem fairly experienced with intercept.exe so I wonder if you would know scancodes, or how to find them out, for media keys? I'm in the need for previous, next and play/pause. My own laptop keyboard does not contain them so I can't just press and see. I'm trying to configure my external numpad for various purposes, media controls being one. Or maybe I can't get the media key mapping done with just intercept and I need to use AHK with it? If I can I'd rather use only intercept rather than using them both so any info would be useful.

Help in writing such a script on AHK please.
