psi VS AutoHotkey

For me, I switched over to Powershell Core, and as far as I'm concerned, it's way more productive for building situated software than the same gaggle of scripts.

param statements get you auto-complete, and docs. Powershell can just ingest and deal with JSON, and are one module away from doing the same with YAML.

Using % and ? (aliases for 'Foreach-Object' and 'Where-Object') ends up working very well for most data manipulations that one might be interested in.

It definitely has it's quirks as a language, but so does literally every shell in remotely common use.

And I'd say that Powershell is appropriate for non-trivial scripting use, as long as you familiarize yourself with the conventions for handing data to/from functions vs pipelines.

I've written more than one piece of above ad-hoc software in Powershell, though this is the only one I have in public: https://github.com/yumaikas/psi.

DownloadAHK() { global wb wb.Stop() file := A_Temp "\ahk-install.exe" switchPage("downloading") Sleep 10 if !Download("https://autohotkey.com/download/ahk-install.exe", file, "DownloadAHK_Progress") { MsgBox 0x2010,, Download failed. switchPage("start") return } Run "%file%" /exec waitclose %A_ScriptHwnd% /exec downloaded "%file%" ExitApp } Exec_WaitClose(hwnd) { DetectHiddenWindows On WinWaitClose ahk_id %hwnd% } Exec_Downloaded(file) { ; global SilentMode := true DetermineVersion() QuickInstall()

All you have to do (other than have autohotkey installed) is

But, if you just install AutoHotKey, you can run these two scripts to select a first and a second dictionary: Select Dictionaries Zipfile

You could try (and I have no affiliation with) http://autohotkey.com - then allocate the key to something like ctrl-F13 (often unused - but reachable via sending system keystroke).

Honestly, it's a bit silly of autohotkey.com to have such strict protections, especially on its downloads. You may be able to workaround by using the github releases instead which are far less restrictive.

try out autohotkey.com

autohotkey.com Go to the ahk website, click download, then choose 'Download v1.1 (deprecated)'
