Desktopwidget for my AHK-Suite
by winnie
Check this little widget im quite fond of. It displays and toggles parts of my AutoHotKey Suite. Its just a bunch of personalised AHK scripts that help me in my daily work.
Beforehand, i have restructured said AHK-Suite to be modular. It has become sort of an issue to make sure it all plays freindly with each other, so a quick and easy toggle seemed usefull. Also, i kept forgetting the hotkeys i wasnt using very frequently.
Im using Rainmeter to display a widget and a state file that saves the current state of each module.
Its so statisfying to create your own specialised tools. Yet, those doohickeys are often not very polished by nature. They gotta work and be productive, not eat up hours of overhead before they start saving time.
I took a bit more time than was probably justified for the time save on this one - But i feel like it was absolutely worth it. An unexpected advantage i didnt know i would appreciate that much is simply the visual confirmation that AHK-Suite is there and the scripts running - Something that is usually only displayed via a system tray icon.
