misc_settings VS microkeys

Hi, I have a somewhat complicated userChrome that you all have helped me with before. It's in this github repo, and the recent update broke it.

I tried. I really, really, really tried. It......can't do it. There's a few rules OP left out, like IfWinActive now needs to enclose its stuff in braces and that's just too much for it. I put its first attempt as well as its last two here: https://github.com/RheingoldRiver/misc_settings/issues/3

After I read the changes it told me it made (I always do something like this to get it to check its own work) I was like "hm this is sus as fuck" so I had it redo it several times and then yeah just....gave up.

Good idea though, and I did learn a bunch about the syntax so when I go to do it myself it'll be easier. I wonder if some of what OP said was determined later than GhatGPT's cutoff date, although I don't think so - I remember even back when I set up these hotkeys 2.0 was in an early beta and I was like uhhhhhh no there's almost 0 docs on this, but I thought I might regret it one day; I don't, though, there were 0 docs back then, it was the right call.

Also you can use my personal ilmina css if you want - this isn't part of the Tsubaki project or endorsed by anyone, and also it's 0% responsive and will ONLY work on a fullscreen desktop monitor, but it makes ilmina a lot easier to use imo if you have that setup.

I wrote MicroKeys[1] out of a similar frustration. Granted, I never got past the POC stage, so it's not as feature rich as AHK, but it solved a very specific itch I had. I debate if I should flesh it out further, or try using AHK again.

And with a little bit of coercing, it can be used the other way: To embed Python in Desktop apps giving you a fairly light-weight Python interpreter.

I used it for a little Windows macro program ( https://github.com/seligman/microkeys ) . I got it to a POC stage to solve the precise problem I have, basically I needed to be able to do some simple text parsing on whatever's in the clipboard and type out the results, so I'm happy. I'm always curious if it potentially fills a need for others as well.

I'll join in:

I'm building a tool called MicroKeys. It's a macro program, for Windows right now. It uses MicroPython as the script engine to let you register hot keys that do things. It's very much a work in progress right now.

I'm writing it to fill a very specific niche I have, but if it's useful to others, I'd love to hear feedback on what it could do to be better to help it come to fruition.

I'll be working to progress MicroKeys, my Windows MicroPython based macro program. It's ready for others to play with, if barely, but I do need to work on how it handles exceptions, and improve the debugging experience a bit.

I'll be working on progressing my MicroKeys project, a way to create macros for Windows and declare them using Python.

For a while I've been working on a little pet project, MicroKeys. It's a Windows app that embeds MicroPython, allowing the user to create macros that run Python functions in response to keys. The GIF on the readme shows the basic idea, when I hit Alt-Z, it runs the function and types out the result.
