AutoHotkey's Shocking Future Get Ready for Blast Off! ??
Howdy,
Advertising agency empire-builder David Ogilvy established a tradition of welcoming new executives with a gift of five wooden dolls, each smaller than the other, one inside the other. When the recipient finally gets to the fifth little doll, the smallest doll, and opens it, he finds this message:
If each of us hires people who are smaller than we are, we shall become a company of dwarfs, but if each of us hires people who are bigger than we are, we shall become a company of giants.
You can certainly take this beyond hiring. It you surround yourself and spend time with people who are 'smaller' than you are, you will stay as you are.
This is one of the main reasons the AHK Hero group is so valuable.?We’re all “smart” in our own areas and are learning from each other.?Not a day goes by where someone doesn’t bring up something cool / interesting in our Telegram group.?You really are missing out!
Now on with the show…
How AutoHotkey V2 is Ensuring the future of AutoHotkey
We’ve done quite a few videos on the pros & cons of V2.?The other day I had a great insight as to how v2 is really going to help AutoHotkey grow.?Check out this video and let me know if you agree
Configuring VS Code and it’s extensions
We’ve had webinars and many videos on how to setup VS code however many people still have difficulties.?Isaias and I both agree, unless you’re a “programmer” you’re probably better off using SciTE4AutoHotkey or AHK Studio (which will be available for V2 soon).??
Having said that, a lot of people do want to use VS code.?For them we’ve created a unique offer where people can “borrow” Isaias’ brilliance and have a copy of his extensions and, more importantly, configuration.??Currently the tool is on sale for $9.99.?If you’re wanting to use VS code, I think this is a no-brainer!
Are you switching to Version 2?
Our course for painlessly switching form v1?v2 has gotten some great praise!?It’s currently ? off but I’m not sure how long we’ll leave that discount so you should act now while you can save a bundle!?You can learn more about the course here.
V1 verse V2 syntax and UIA libary!
We asked a Hero member, Ryan Wells, to join us on a call so we could demonstrate converting a script from V1 to V2.?It turned into a very interesting video because the UIA v2 library is quite different than the one for v1.?We finished the video however, yesterday, Isaias had a 2-hour call with Descolada discussing the V2 library.?So we got Ryan back on Zoom and dove back into some of the very cool updates in the V2 UIA library (which should now be considered out of Alpha)??This means changes going forward should only be patching things and not breaking them.?Don’t forget, if you’re using the UIA library, you might consider donating to Descolada.
Automating Outlook emails
I’ve been loving all the amazing AI tools that are coming out!?While Chat GPT-3 is amazing at content creation, currently you still need to distribute the emails yourself.?This is where being able to use a COM object with Outlook comes in really handy!?In this video I walk through some of the basics.
