Key bindings

_SuperCaps.ahk

• CapsLock + R: Reloads the script.

CapsToggle.ahk

• Shift + CapsLock: Checks the state of the CapsLock key and toggles it.
• CapsLock: If CapsLock is off, it keeps it off.

CapsEdit.ahk

• CapsLock + E: Opens the current script directory. If the script is compiled, it opens the directory in the default file explorer. Otherwise, it opens the directory in Visual Studio Code.

AlarmClock.ahk

• CapsLock + V: This shortcut can be used for two purposes. If you press and hold V while holding CapsLock, it will launch the Alarms & Clock app, where you can set a timer. If you release V quickly, it will send the shortcut Shift + Window + V, which will stop the alarm sound and dismiss any notifications on your screen.

AutoHideDesktop.ahk

HandleWindowKeyboard.ahk

• Ctrl + Space: Toggles the current window’s “always on top” state.
• CapsLock + Space: Moves the current window to the next display.
• CapsLock + S: Maximizes the current window.
• CapsLock + A: Minimizes the current window.
• CapsLock + Q: Closes the current window.

HandleWindowMouse.ahk

• Left Alt + Left Mouse Button: This feature initiates a window movement operation, allowing you to reposition the window by clicking anywhere within its boundaries. This is particularly useful for smaller screens or for moving windows that typically limit movement. It's a handy tool for managing your workspace more efficiently. However, please note that this feature does not work if the window is maximized. You'll need to restore the window to its original size before you can use this feature to move it.

WebSearch.ahk

• Ctrl + Shift + C: Copies the selected text and performs a DuckDuckGo search using the copied text.
