Software Update: AutoHotkey 1.0.42

Version 1.0.42 can be downloaded from the AutoHotkey site since yesterday. The new version is out this page in various forms. AutoHotkey is developed in C++ and allows you to put frequently used keystrokes, actions and/or button combos with the keyboard, mouse and gamepad behind a hotkey, so that the relevant action is performed in one go. In addition, it is possible to convert previously scripted AutoIt2 key combinations to the AutoKey scripting language. The changelog of version 1.0.42 looks like this:

1.0.42

• Fixed expressions such as “If not Installed” not to be misinterpreted as “If not in List”. [thanks Toralf]
• Fixed certain unusual situations where a hotkey would unnecessarily require the keyboard hook.
• Fixed vkNNN hotkeys to be handled by the hook when that VK is also used as a prefix for other hotkeys.
• Fixed #IfWin’s automatic disabling of prefix keys work properly if Suspend is ON.
• Fixed minor hotkey issues on Windows 95/98/Me: 1) The wildcard prefix
• is ignored and such hotkeys are put into effect rather than being disabled; 2) Non-wildcard hotkeys that are a subset of a wildcard hotkey are put into effect rather than being disabled; 3) A left/right hotkey such as >#x is put into effect as Win-X rather than simply “X”.
• Changed the Hotkey command to create a new variant (when appropriate) rather than always updating any existing hotkey of that name. Please update your scripts accordingly.
• Changed hotkeys to recognize ^!c as being the same as !^c (different symbol order). This also affects the Hotkey command.
• Improved the Hotkey command to support UseErrorLevel and context-sensitive hotkeys (via “Hotkey IfWinActive/Exist”).
• Improved #IfWinActive/Exist to support Windows9x. In addition, the keyboard hook is now avoided whenever possible. Finally, #IfWin now sets the Last Found Window.
• Improved the following commands to support TListBox/TComboBox and possibly others: Control (Add/Delete/Choose/ChooseString); and ControlGet(FindString/Choice/List).
