autohotkey script

cowboy billy · #1 07-23-2007, 07:36 PM

Ok, I just started using poker tracker and pokerace hud and in my quest to master multi tabling I thought some kind of script might be handy for a few short cuts

I then found out that something like that actually exists, it's called autohotkey

I started searching the forum, but I couldn't find a "how to" link, can anybody tell me how a computer n00b like me can get something like an ahk to work?

doesn't matter for which site, but I'm playing mostly on party atm

i've got ahk installed, and i've looked through all the posted scripts from the link above but dont see anything for stars that will let you use strictly the keyboard. i would like "f" to be fold, "c" to be call, and to have the active tables bet amount highlighted so i could just type in whatever amount i wanted to bet on the 10key, i play NL. That way whenever u heard the classic beep activating whatever table you could automatically start typing on the 10key... or press "f"/"c" (also an "m" button to switch to chat text on active window). then also i would like to assign each table i have open to a function key to activate (f1,f2,f3,etc.), this would totally eliminate the mouse. Does such a beast exist with AHK??? Or a combo or scripts?

TableNavigator can do most of the above...

Between TableNavigator and a few tweaks to BetPot I can play completely from my keyboard.

Now I play with a gamepad which is the best way to play,imo, especially if you multitable. I added Joystickmouse to get my gamepad working right and now am one happy camper.

I can play from my mouse, keboard or gamepad all at the same time if I wanted to. It is sure nice having all the options available.

i dont get the gamepad use for NL players, dont you still have to use the 10key? i dont like using the slider for NL as i usually want to bet an exact amount and dont want to have to go back and forth on the mouse wheel or gamepad to get to where i want it (picky i know)... besides i just want to get a dlp projector (or two [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]) a long range wireless keyboard and sit in my recliner all day with no mouse around... i'll try table navigator and see where that gets me. thanks.

I never use the 10 key for typing in bet amounts any more. I use the mouse wheel, - or + sign for the keyboard, or my dpad for the gamepad to bet in 1bb increments.

If you want to use only a keyboard, as I stated I can also do, then TN and BP are the two programs to use. I am not aware of any programs that will put the cursor automatically in the bet window.
