Windows 10: auto hotkey saving a script987=

I can download AutoHotkey, open it from my desktop, and write a script, following the steps in their tutorial. When I get to step 8, which is "save" the script, it won't let me save it. What am I not doing ?

:)

 

Auto Hotkey

Yes, it is for Windows 10 also. But leave this, I have worked out a simple solution for you.

1. Open your Notepad and save it as email.text

2. Put required e mail in this and save and close it.

3. Open Notepad, save it as email.vbs (for this you will need to choose All files in Notepad)

4. Put following into it and save and close it.

Option Explicit

Dim wshShell

Set wshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

WshShell.Run ("cmd.exe /C clip < email.txt"), 0, true

5. Right click on this file > Create Shortcut

6. Right click on Shortcut > Properties > In the Shortcut key box, press the required shortcut key say CTRL+ALT+M

7. In Windows Start > All Programs > Startup > Right Click > Open

8. Copy the Shortcut of step 6 into this Startup folder

9. Restart your computer.

10. Now whenever you press your shortcut, this will copy this e mail to clipboard

11. You can do CTRL+V then to paste

 

Auto Hotkey

Sorry. I am using Windows 10 version 1709. Is the solution different?

 

Hi, I don't know which tutorial you're referring to as you haven't quoted a URL, so can't comment on that, I'm afraid.

You can write a script in any text editor, save it as txt, rename the file as ahk.

And there's the SciTE4AutoHotkey editor which comes with autohotkey and is sensitive to the script syntax.

 

Thanks. I'll give it a try.
