I usually implement autohotkey scripts in keyboard shortcuts by specifying that it is a command. Sometimes they do not work and error screens appear showing that some variables do not exist or the commands are not recognized, being that the same command works when I create an ahk document. Is there a solution for this problem?

Could you post the example script which is not working?

It is used to show a wave when the mouse is inactive for a certain time and when any of the mouse buttons are pressed

Code: Select all

Your script is dependent on a Gdip library which is not found. I suggest you run such advanced scripts using Type: Run.

Placing the code and selecting type run does nothing. I guess you mean creating a separate ahk file and putting its address, in that case it works
