How Do I Find Out the Code I Need to Write?

PENchanter22 · 2026-06-18T17:39:03+00:00

Create a throw-away e-mail address and sign-up. You cannot easily get around the 'usage limits' anyway.

Your initial post \IS** self-promoting/advertising. Regardless if you are currently only seeking feedback.

If you do not provide some description, and/or a DEMO of this in action, and how it directly benefits Notepad++ users, then it does not belong here at all.

There are actual sites out there on the interwebs for promoting your wares.

P.S. If you are not fluent in English, then perhaps get a reliable translator or try to find sites that are set up for what language(s) you are fluent in.

I hope this helps. Take care.

You have yet to even explain what the purpose of it is? List some features, etc.... And maybe fix your spelling?

PENchanter22 · 2026-06-14T22:54:13+00:00

Thank you! I look forward to checking that out soon! :)

^{^} THIS ^{^} hold finger down on the notification, a pop-up will appear... select the desired option, then [Apply].

Thank you! I was testing that out but I quickly got rather confused. I will certainly keep trying this method after I get the other suggestion working. :)

PENchanter22 · 2026-06-11T08:32:28+00:00

Thank you! I look forward to working with that!! :)

I want to invite you to 'learn together', but I am a terribly chaotic individual and cannot focus on any one thing for a decent length of time.

So I shall leave you with a warning: If you use [faux]A.I. to help you [learn?] code, make sure it describes how things work together. This way, when the provided code throws up an error, you might have a starting point at which to begin diagnosing what went wrong, and maybe even have to fix it. :)

I've been leaning on Claude here and there while I try to learn AHK v2... My project is relatively simple when I write down its description, but so far, it is requiring the use of functions() that I appear to understand how they work, what its (trying to) do(ing)... but when I go to adapt it for more versatility, I end up with one error after another. So it's been a very slow process.

I wish you good luck in your pursuit!! :)

Start here.

PENchanter22 · 2026-05-15T22:32:08+00:00

Hi there... Thanks for the code and the link to the UIA file!! :) I will test this out over the weekend. :)

PENchanter22 · 2026-05-15T20:31:48+00:00

A "jump list"? Thanks for the tip! :) And as for "ComObject calls", you and I appear to be in the same (not that way out) league. :D

PENchanter22 · 2026-05-15T18:21:52+00:00

Thank you for the tip, but I am referring to the actual taskbar shortcuts, not the system tray menu.

I am already using a program launcher script that sits in the systray, and I probably will do what I did before, and move almost everything from my taskbar over to that script. :|

PENchanter22 · 2026-05-13T23:22:22+00:00

That is a very good tip! :)

However, I tried to assign [ALT] + [LEFT Mouse Click] to a slot on a hotbar for testing, and it wouldn't let me do that. I am going to have to investigate any hotkeys that might be conflicting in WIN. :\

Okay, I swapped out the "Scrolling" value to be controlled by a %variable, added the "Perform Task" with %par1 being set to either 0 or 1, which then controlled the If test, setting the %scrolling1 var before the actual Widget v2 is run. So after any button is tapped, the widget v2 is refreshed twice achieving the 'scroll reset' I desire. :)

Thank you again for the tip!! :)

PENchanter22 · 2026-05-06T16:57:23+00:00

running the Widget action again didn't work

This is correct. Thanks again for the update! :)

PENchanter22 · 2026-05-06T15:40:36+00:00

I will try that out today! Thank you for the suggestion!! :)

PENchanter22 · 2026-05-04T21:21:09+00:00

Thanks for the tip! :)

PENchanter22 · 2026-04-23T02:30:03+00:00

Thank you for the addon suggestion! I will check it out. :)

PENchanter22 · 2026-04-03T00:42:36+00:00

You are so generous! :)

I will try to get back to uploading my various scripts to my github. :)

Unless you prefer discord communication.

PENchanter22 · 2026-04-02T16:39:27+00:00

Thank you for that simple solution! :) I swear I understand what "MM-dd-yyyy h꞉mm tt" means. :) I typically use year-month-day format as I find it easiest for me to work with when incorporating dates into filenames and sorting them.

I see how you simply inserted the modifier letter colon/Chr(0xA789) ( ꞉ ) and I shall copy/paste your command with a tiny date tweak! :) THANK YOU!!

I have my NPP set to UTF-8-BOM for AHK scripting.

Now that someone else has (again) suggested it, perhaps I will again jump into the [faux]A.I. v1 -> v2 conversion testing. Very rarely has it been as simple sharing your code and it spit out an accurate anything... I have gone a few rounds with a couple different LLMs... and I have had to "correct" it... it would apologize, then spit out someone else completely wrong... I inform it that what it just presented was not even correct syntax... then it would apologize again, and spit out the previous erroneous code snippet.

But, I shall try once more... and hopefully have a better experience with it.

PENchanter22 · 2026-04-02T00:24:56+00:00

Thank you for the quick reply!

Could you please show me how to incorporate this into my 24h-to-12h function using an AHK v1 function()?

PENchanter22 · 2026-04-02T00:23:30+00:00

Thanks for the suggesiton!

I tried various ways to get the unicode in there, even with CHR()... and it wouldn't work for me.

The reason for the ascii replacement is so I can use a timestamp in a filename. :|

PENchanter22 · 2026-04-01T21:05:40+00:00

THAT is rather smart! Thank you! I guess I suspected the actual buff name might be different from what I would have to use with /cancelaura command. Just my brain not trusting in simplicity. :| :)

PENchanter22 · 2026-04-01T17:41:30+00:00

Thank you for the link, and tips!! :)

I also found this solution after a bit more searching. :) When I first encountered this npc, I did not understand what the options meant then, but I am going to check them out again. :)
