This short script enables the ability to switch between windows of the same application with Cmd+Grave (backtick).
Replacement for PR rbreaves#722. This does the same thing but in a much smarter way with fewer lines. Apple laptop keyboards have the PgUp/PgDn/Home/End navigation functions on Fn+arrow keys (even if not explicitly labeled on the keys). Most PC laptops also have these functions on the arrow keys, but some PC laptop keyboards have media functions (Play_Pause/Stop/Prev/Next) on the arrow keys instead. This makes it impossible to use the Fn+arrow keys for shortcuts like text selection (with Shift), or general navigation. This optional fix for this issue (disabled by default) will cause media arrow keys to behave like an Apple keyboard when used with the Fn key. All possible modifier combinations are mapped to what they would have been without Kinto's modifier remap. This PR creates a new tray menu item that will toggle the fix on and off, and it can be toggled with Shift+Opt+Cmd+M. The tray menu item will update with a check mark when the fix is active, and a MsgBox alerts the user when it is toggled on and off. If desired the user can set the fix to be enabled by default by changing a single variable value near the top of kinto.ahk. The toggles to disable/enable will still function. Companion to part of PR rbreaves#499 which is for Linux.
For Windows/AHK: Adds more accurate and intuitive behavior to the process of using dead keys, to match macOS more closely, and fixes some of the Switch/Case lines that weren't working as expected (Escape, Space were not actually activating). Dead keys sequences will now place the pending diacritic accent character (e.g., umlaut [ ¨ ]) in a highlight, then either replace it with the full accented character (e.g., [ Ü ]) if there is a match, or deselect the diacritic character and exit the dead keys sequence, leaving the diacritic character visible. Any input other than Escape or Space or a matching letter will be passed through. This is a very close match for how dead keys work in macOS. Also enabled the ability to interrupt a dead key sequence by triggering another dead key sequence, which like many other keys will just leave the original diacritic character visible and insert the new one in a highlight as the start of the new sequence. This behaves like it does on a Mac when you change your mind in the middle and do a different dead key. Previous PR by this name had some unforeseen issues with non-character-generating input editing keys like arrows, Backspace, and Delete, which were being ignored/disabled by the AHK `Input` command. And the uppercase accented characters were not working properly. All such issues are fixed here and thoroughly tested. 🤞🏽 😮💨 🤞🏽
Finder Mods for Windows Explorer had a number of issues that needed to be fixed, primarily coming from how the comparison was being made between the `ClassNN` attribute and a list of different possible strings to match on, for certain keys and shortcuts. All issues with Enter, Backspace, Cmd+Backspace (Delete) and the Delete key seem to have been resolved in my testing on Windows 11. Renaming with Enter works on the desktop, and Cmd+Backspace is properly blocked to prevent deleting files on the desktop. Tab navigation shortcuts still working.
[Win] Optional fix for media arrow keys (new) Conflict: Branched prior to rbreaves#719 's: 1. addition to tray menu of OptSpecialChars 2. extension of Alt+[various] handling by 270 lines (while making togglable by above) Resolution: 1. Order menu as OptSpecialChar, then Media Arrows Fix, per expected use/interest (also chronological) 2. Move toggle_media_arrows_fix logic below `#If ... optspecialchars = 1` block - to keep file block order respective to menu order Non-conflicting intermin changes to master: - rbreaves#652 (Landed: f342ee4) - Anydesk (bab7660)
Mac Numpad feature Conflicts w/ rbreaves#724 (as 3d9670b <- master [4a3bfe7 , windows: bab7660]): 1. Addition of "Media Arrows Fix" to same slot in menu (below OptSpecialChars, above Close) 2. no `toggle_media_arrows_fix` block (obviously) 3. inserts a `toggle_mac_numpad` block above `#If ... optspecialchars = 1` block Resolution: 1. Order is OptSpecialChars, then Mac Numpad, then Media Arrows Fix - in order of expected user interest 2. toggle_media_arrows_fix is retained as in 3d9670b 3. relocates insertion of `toggle_mac_numpad` below `optspecialchars` but above `toggle_media_arrows_fix` - in order respective to menu order
