Auto Hotkey

I guess this is the right place to put this in as auto hotkey has some programming...

anyways I have been testing out auto hotkey, because I want a program that will record my mouse movements and key presses but at the speed that it is recorded, when I have recorded simple auto hotkey scripts

e.g. opening internet explorer and typing "www.google.co.nz", but autohotkey will wait for internet explorer to fully open and then it will print "www.google.co.nz" almost instantly. I want it to be typed as fast as when I entered it when it recorded the script.

Any ideas on how I can get auto hotkey to do this? without manually scripting it (this would take far too long).

Many thanks.

If you aren't familiar with this, this is a batch file.

Code:

@echo off

start iexplore http://www.google.co.nz

:End

Copy Everything after Code: Until :End into a notepad file and save it as OpenGoogle.bat

After the file is saved double click on it and it will open internet explorer to the page you requested.

Hope this works for you!

Yes batch files are nothing new to me, but I didnt want it to specifically open google (I'm not that lazy) :).

What I ment was Auto hotkey has a record option that will record your keyboard input and mouse movement, but when you save the recorded script it plays everything instantly, no gaps like you would when typing for instance. I would like to figure out how to make it play at the speed I typed and moved my mouse during the original recording.

Then what you're looking for is a macro. You could maybe find some programs (those may lag a little) OR get a nice gaming keyboard (Like the G11 or something. Most gaming keyboards have built-in macro programs for the keys.) and for the mouse a nice gaming mouse. Like some Razer mice. I have the Diamond Back and that's pretty nice. You'll need to install the thing from the disc to utilize the macros (I don't recommend it as the macros are limited to a very small size). I'm not sure about playing it at the speed of the original recording though. I think the G11 has the capability to ad millisecond waits between each action though :/

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
