InputHook - present in Keysharp.Core.Input, but isn't working

[Winter Laite]

InputHook docs page.

InputHook is more flexible than using hotstrings, but harder to use.

This code throws a Keyview error:

MsgBox KeyWaitAny("V")

KeyWaitAny(Options:="")
{
    ih := InputHook(Options)
    if !InStr(Options, "V")
        ih.VisibleNonText := false
    ih.KeyOpt("{All}", "E")  ; End
    ih.Start()
    ih.Wait()
    return ih.EndKey  ; Return the key name
}

The following errors occurred:Keyview:: (107,8)-(107,17) - The name 'InputHook' does not exist in the current context

An example of InputHook’s flexibility can be found on the Switch docs page. (I was testing ‘Switch’ when I found this issue.)

This has not been implemented yet and it will be a while before we do so.

[Winter Laite]

Got it.

[Matt Feemster]

I am currently in the process of implementing this. Will post here when done.

I’ve committed a fix, please test.

Here is a reworked version of the third example at the bottom of the AHK documentation page:

https://lexikos.github.io/v2/docs/commands/InputHook.htm

#persistent
WordList := "Monday`nTuesday`nWednesday`nThursday`nFriday`nSaturday`nSunday"
Suffix := ""
SacHook := InputHook("V", "{Esc}")

SacHook.OnChar := "SacChar"
SacHook.OnKeyDown := "SacKeyDown"
SacHook.KeyOpt("{Backspace}", "N")
SacHook.Start()

SacChar(ih, char)  ; Called when a character is added to SacHook.Input.
{
    global WordList, Suffix := ""
    temp := ""
    prefix := ""

    if ((prefix := RegExMatch(ih.Input, "`nm)\w+$")) && (temp := RegExMatch(WordList, "`nmi)(?<=^" . prefix[0] . ").*")))
    {
        Suffix := temp[0]
    }

    cp := CaretGetPos()

    if (cp["CaretFound"])
        ToolTip(Suffix, cp["X"] + 15, cp["Y"])
    else
        ToolTip(Suffix)

    ; Intercept Tab only while we're showing a tooltip.
    ih.KeyOpt("{Tab}", Suffix = "" ? "-NS" : "+NS")
}

SacKeyDown(ih, vk, sc)
{
    if (vk == 8) ; Backspace
        SacChar(ih, "")
    else if (vk == 9) ; Tab
        Send("{Text}" Suffix)
}

Your example works fine, thank you! I’m going to close this.

[Winter Laite]

Resolved

Closing, thank you!
