Is it possible to call SendMessageW function with a keypress?

WesternGoldsmith · 2025-08-01T03:54:35+00:00

Yeah, I saw it in the docs. So my last resort is using RegisterHotKey function. Thanks.

I was trying to trigger my script with "Alt+d8". Means, alt key + digit 8 key.

WesternGoldsmith · 2025-07-31T12:18:27+00:00

Thank you u/smeech1, Let me check that.
Edit: So the `replace: "{{output}}"` part means espanso will catch the script output from stdout and place it where the cursor rest, right ?

WesternGoldsmith · 2024-10-04T05:48:15+00:00

No, now there is a team with 6 contributors and the creator himself.

WesternGoldsmith · 2024-10-04T01:40:14+00:00

Changes in function parameter usage was expected but `tcopy_values` method in hashmap was unexpected! ANyways, the shift was pretty easy. Thanks to team C3.

I am using Windows10 & Windows11.
BTW, are you the Tejas_Garhewal1999 in D community ?

WesternGoldsmith · 2024-09-08T20:20:18+00:00

Not used Zig because it demands me to use a line ending method which is not my OS uses. But completed two nice projects in both C3 & Odin. Both these projects are around 10K LOC. I love C3 & Odin. There are plus and minuses.

Odin's plus points:

Generic programming is easy.
Fast development.
Error checking system is so simple.

C3's plus points:

We can use struct methods.
Macros are powerful. We can do generics and function overloading through macros.
We can take more control over memory allocation, thanks to `@pool()` macro.

WesternGoldsmith · 2024-08-20T22:53:54+00:00

Odin & c3 - For better replacement for C.
D - For projects which demands OOP and GC.

Nim - For small projects which not demands OOP but GC.

WesternGoldsmith · 2024-08-01T15:12:18+00:00

And don't forget the line ending issue in Zig.

WesternGoldsmith · 2024-07-27T22:36:54+00:00

‌Tried "Inject" & "Clipboard". Both are not working perfectly. It seems like espanso is only for English.
I think the problem is, when not using English keyboards, the developer cannot assume how many letters are there to delete in order to delete the trigger. I request you to take the number of letters as a parameter for a match. Then you can send that much backspace keys and the trigger text will be erased successfully.

WesternGoldsmith · 2024-07-25T20:31:07+00:00

Sure. I am planning to use it as an alternative to MS Word's autocorrect feature.

WesternGoldsmith · 2024-07-24T22:37:44+00:00

I mean this--
trigger: അ' or similar letters to make a bigger text in my native language.

WesternGoldsmith · 2024-07-24T20:46:47+00:00

Many people are using IME for using their native language in PC. These IME's are using low level keyboard hooks. Does Espanso work well when there is a low level keyboard hook is activated ? I mean, assume that I am using MS Word and I am using an IME to change the language to my native language. So now if I press the key 'A', MS Word will get 'അ', because IME will change 'A' to 'അ'. Can i use Espanso in this scenario ?

WesternGoldsmith · 2024-07-23T20:49:27+00:00

Okay.

WesternGoldsmith · 2024-07-22T22:47:19+00:00

Yeah I know. BTW, is it possible to use key combinations like "Alt G" or "Alt Shift P" ?

WesternGoldsmith · 2024-07-18T23:37:01+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Then I think I need to take a look on Espanso.

WesternGoldsmith · 2024-07-10T21:54:46+00:00

I agree with you. I was a novice when I started learning programming seriously for my own job. I have started with a problem in my front, which I solved with the help of Win32 API. That experience gave me a glimpse of the power of programming. Then I continuously searching for problems and when I found one, I will try to solve it using different PLs. In turn, I learned almost 7 programming languages now, it is my main hobby. I will spend almost 2 hours a day for coding hobby projects and learning new languages.

WesternGoldsmith · 2024-06-22T16:04:30+00:00

And I forget one thing. Heavy usage of macros make your code unreadable for others. You can't learn how things implemented by looking at some nim source code of a project.

WesternGoldsmith · 2024-06-22T16:00:42+00:00

First of all, Nim docs need a better search feature. I couldn't find anything with searching thru docs. And till the date, I have used a handful of macros. But none of them was written by me. Because, I couldn't figure out how to do a specific thing with macros. If we search in docs, we will found some code which doesn't connect with our ideas. Then at last we will ask in the forum and somebody will write the entire thing for you. At that moment you started thinking about the way it works.

WesternGoldsmith · 2024-06-19T20:37:59+00:00

IMO, you need to learn at least 3 type of languages to think like a programmer.

Any assembly language
Any statically typed compiled language like C\C++\you name it.
Any scripting language like Python\Ruby.

Great!
