The AutoHotkey Experience 

You're so close to discovering vim

1. press HOME to move the cursor to the start of the line 2. press SHIFT + END to highlight the entire line

The LTT Sponsor is crazy

Win + R shell:startup Opens the startup folder

your videos are the most accurate description of ✨problem solving✨ AND. I. FUCKING. LOVEIT.

1 step away from vim

Your videos have been helpful for learning things I didn’t think I needed to know, but now that I have them in my brain, it feels great

(Neo)Vim: look what they need to a fraction of our power

Bro is missing Home and End keys on his keyboard.

if you want to delete/select whole line then > home > shift + end (> delete or backspace, both work)

7:39 For your convinience, " Shell:Startup: "

Shift + Home selects the entire line from right to left, and Shift + End selects the entire line from left to right in any software on Windows with default keyboard settings. You can use most keyboard shortcuts in Windows with slightly different combinations, but this requires a full-sized (100%) keyboard, not a 60% keyboard.

shift home : selects from cursor to start of the line shift end : selects from cursor to end of line end : takes you to the end of the line home : takes you to the start of the line ctrl shift home : selects till the start of document ctrl shift end : selects till end of documents ctrl home / ctrl end : moves you to the start or end of document if the keys are in uncomfortable places just use autoHotKey to relocate them

Literally any video made by you is awesome. Even I can watch washing dishes by Bog.

He is doing the journey right, first Hyprland and now AutoHotkey, has some decent vim skills, next time he will write his scripts blazingly fast in vim.

or use Ctrl+Shift to select multiple lines, or Shift+End/Home to select a whole line (not control or it'll do the whole document)

what you are looking for is ctrl + shift + left/right arrow keys indeed, and then if you want your cursor to teleport to the end of the sentence you just press right_arrow after selecting, or left_arrow for the opposite effect

4:00 The realization 😭

Every time I switch from Linux, I miss the Meta/Alt + left click and Meta/Alt + right click functionality to move windows and resize windows.

Seeing consistency from my new favorite youtuber makes me so happy! Keep up the awesome videos!!

Auto Hotkey is very helpful at times when it is needed but sometimes it is annoying, But great video bro.

Home moves the cursor to the beginning of the line and end send the cursor to the end of the line. holding shift while moving the cursor (by using arrow keys or the home and end keys or by clicking your mb1) selects whatever is in between your cursor's current position and where you are sending the cursor to

Omg i LOVE autohotkey!!!! Im so glad you're covering it. Not enough people know if it

All bro had to do is hit Shift+Home while at the end or Shift+End while at the beginning, does the same thing

Selecting a line? Isn’t it just Shift + Home though? From the end of the line, of course, it would work in reverse obviously. So (in AHK v1) !Right::Send, {End}+{Home} works like a charm

I installed this app, around an hour ago and now I see your video. Thanks for telling me the basics of using it

Dude, you are a LIFESAVER. I saw this in your Davinci Resolve video and i always wondered how to work it. P.S: you can type shell:startup into the run window to get to the startup folder faster

Wait until he learns he doesn't have to use notepad.

When you watch Bog instead of him bogging your mind , It actually clears it…

Bog you're the best content creator, every video that you make teaches me a new thing

love how bog managed to rickroll everyone and most people wont even notice/read the text he's messing around with

Bog my dude, what you need is Vim 😅 1. 2:17 "how do you select a whole line" Vim equivalent shortcut: Shift + v (then you can use jk or up, down arrow keys to continue selecting more lines of text) 2. 4:00 "i want to select an entire line and then delete it" Vim equivalent shortcut: dd (dd just deletes the current line, you can even do "d, 5, down arrow key" in that order and it will delete 5 lines below including the current line etc) 3. 4:20 "i want to be able to jump to the beginning of a line" Vim equivalent shortcut: Shift + i (this is will move the cursor to the beginning of the line and puts you into insert mode, insert mode is the mode in vim where you can just type text, in the normal mode, every key is a shortcut ) Shift + a will jump to the end of the line and jump into insert mode as well, if you wanted to add something to the end of the line easily there's soo many fucking keybindings in vim to do interesting things that i can really comment it all out, will take ages, and i dont even know all of em either haha (skill issue moment, i know) some of my favourites are o : just jumps into a new line, like enter key, but your cursor dont need to be at the end of the line O : same shit as o, but creates a new line above the current line. like Enter but its above the current line instead of below gg and G: goes to the top and bottom line of the whole file, so gg will jump me into line 1, and G will jump me into the last line .(fullstop key): this will repeat whatever action you just did before. If you did some complex shortcut just now, and you went down a few lines and saw that you had to do that same thing again, then you can just hit fullstop key instead. Ctrl v: which is like shift v but instead of selecting the whole line, only selects the the charecter thats highlighted by the cursor, and you have use hl or left and right arrow keys to select charecters, but when you hit up or down arrow key, instead of selecting the whole line like on windows, it will only select the charecter thats in that location, eg: say theres a line and your cursor is on a letter B, and just above it , on the previous line, there's another letter C. if i do ctrl v and then up, it wil select both B and C, which i can then use other shortcuts to edit, delete etc. A practical eg would be, say there's a few line of code youre working on, and you want to comment them out. i hit ^ to go to the beginning of the line (same as shift i but i dont get jumped into insert mode yet), then i hit ctrl v which jumps me into visual block mode, and i hit down arrow key a few times and selects the lines i want to comment out, then i hit shift i to get into insert mode, type # to comment that line, then hit escape and all those lines that i selected will have a # in front of it. this can be further simplified by writing a custom macro just for it ci: this is a bit complex one, lets take ci" as an example. c is for changing a charecter, i here means 'in' " means the "" thats in the line you are in. So, say you have a line where you have a text "this is a text" with those quotes, and you want to change them to something else, you can just move your cursor to any charecter within that "" and type ci" and it will remove all text within the quotes but the qoutes will still exit, and you will be in insert mode between the 2 quotes, ci" means change in "", similarly there's ca" for change around "" and that will do exactly like ci" but will also remove the quotes.

Future you: when trying neovim, please note: gx: open the url link in the default browser. gf: open the file when the cursor is over a file path. I mentioned those because the pain in the previous video you did about wayland.

12:06 the Spy has already breached our defences!

Damn that line mover thing is amazing, thanks for the finding bro 1:36

you DO NOT need home and end keys: although ctrl + left/right only jumps one word at a time ctrl + up/down arrows jumps the entire line at a time, just like what you are looking for combine ctrl + up/down with shift, to select the entire line and finally, if the entire line is SELECTED, and you want your cursor to teleport to the end of the line OR the beginning of it, you can (while the line is selected) just press right or left arrow accordingly try it out

on windows you can double click to select a word, or triple click to select a line

Waiting for "The Neovim experience"

FINALLY, some peace to my mind, i've been waiting for a video of BOG after i saw the last video

This video really shows the reasons why I don't use windows any more. That update on the end was the icing on the cake ofcourse 🤣🤣

Watching the video from end to start makes more sense

It's so fun seeing people learn AHK, it's a pretty nifty little language =P I really recommend a proper IDE though, vscode is really nice once you install the AHK extension. Also you can assign Reload to a hotkey 'f9::Reload' which helps a lot when prototyping.

to select a whole line of text there are two ways: 1) Place your cursor **at the beginning** of a line a line and press **SHIFT + DOWN Arrow** 2) Place your cursor **at the end** of a line a line and press **SHIFT + UP Arrow**

For those of us without Home/End keys, I think Shift + Fn + Right/Left Arrow - select entire line

what notepad app were you using in the beginning

In vscode you can cut/copy a line by putting your cursor on the line and just pressing ctrl x, or ctrl c, to cut or copy the whole line. Make sure to not select anything beforehand.

I WAS JUST USING AHK FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MONTHS LIKE AN HOUR BEFORE THIS WAS POSTED YOU ARE STALKING ME AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Just watching this video made me understand how AutoHotkey works (I never used it before and now I already have multiple scripts running)

I downloaded something called keyboard manager. Allows you to remap your keys / shortcuts. I’m a Mac user at home but work is windows ofc. Remapped everything to where it works like a Mac does. Alt-shift-left highlights the whole line to the left etc etc

First problem solution to highlighting the entire sentence: hold click and drag your mouse across the parts you want to highlight. Or, shift key plus up arrow key.

Tip: you can also open the Startup folder in Windows by typing shell:startup in the Run window (Win+R)

Another viddeo by Bog, we love it!!!

My fight or flight kicked in when i saw that sponsor jumpscare

Your issue is that on your keyboard you have to hold FN to make home and end work. It's much easier on tenkeyless or full size keyboards (since it has home and end keys).

0:30 bro forgot how to use his mouse

I feel like a tech god when I watch people use auto hotkey without notepad++

You know it's a good video when you can watch it with out even using the OS. :3

AutoHotKey is pretty OP when writing in DVORAK and all Keyboard Shortcuts would be messed up...

7:45 literally you could in startup apps show "command line" column which will show location from where it starts and does it have special command for launch (uwp apps don't show anything) Edit: Yeah, it's really great (personally use for closing apps in tray when they startup on boot). If you want you can compile as an exe instead of being script.

8:06 theres a short version of that directory thats just ”shell:startup”

Ctrl + Shift + Arrow (up or down) Selects a line up to the start/end of the next/previous one.

Amazing video as always! I love how patient you always are, spending hours trying to find information. I appreciate you trying to learn all of these yourself, but in 2024 it's just faster to make ChatGPT write AHK scripts for you. (It should also be good at configuring vim if you're considering it.)

fake pr ad got me 😭😭😭😭💀💀💀💀

Im a normal man I see bog posts a video I get happy

"stop reading my folder names" on the desktop🤣

0:26 Dude, try shift + arrow ⬆️ Edit: nvm you already figure it out at 3:32

You can do Ctrl + Alt + Shift + Left or Right Arrow to select to one side of a line in windows.

You can hold ctrl+shift+ arrow up or down to select the enterity of the line...

WIN+R then shell:startup to get to the "startup" folder then proceed to make a desktop shortcut of it.

Instead of the app data thing you can just type shell:startup in the run box to directly open the startup folder.

"If you played minecraft you have been here multiple times" 😂😂 Has anyone noticed the folder name lol

You were so right about %appdata% and minecraft gamers!))

Hey, I think the problem here is your keyboard and it's drivers. Windows already has a function to select an entire line from right to left. It's Shift + HOME And in some keyboards where it has Fn keys, it's Shift + Fn + [Key with HOME in blue (alternate Fn function)]. It works in all my laptops. I think it's your keyboard. Edit: Shift + HOME works in all text entries. Maybe it selects word by word because of the app your are using.

You can also create remappings within the PowerToys Keyboard Manager

This is what the lack of Home and End keys on a keyboard does to a homie

Dude, your content is so mesmerizing, and you're clearly a smart person, so I'm going to tell you this very gently: you don't CLICK with your keyboard! You click with your mouse or trackpad! The only thing that clicks is a cursor! A key is something you PRESS. I have been begrudgingly watching people say more and more often that they're CLICKING stuff on their phones when they're clearly TAPPING, I'm almost to a point where I'm throwing the towel and waving the white flag on that one. But a keyboard? Nah, I'm not letting this one go. No white flags on this specific hill; only death.

With your keyboard being programmable you could probably do some of this by setting key combos in they keyboard editor gui. Though it was worth it to do it this way just for the experience. Nice.

I love your videos. Thanks Bog. ❤

autohotkey, plus playnite is what is making my windows gaming experience smooth

great work, also windows power toys from microsoft can do custom shortcuts too btw, this way you don't have to use a 3rd party app and the interface is way better.

v2.0 and v1.1 AHK have different syntax. I remember trying to run my v1.1 scripts in v2.0 and it was giving me errors and also some scripts weren't working at all... Same goes for most scripts you can find online (because v2.0 is still pretty new), so unless you're going to write ALL of your scripts manually, I'd go with 1.1. But honestly the syntax is somehow more comprehensible in v1.1 for me, + there are countless ways to solve one problem like in classic programming and also there are a lot of materials online, so I'd always go with v1.1 lol. Idk what's even the point of v2.0 tbh. Maybe its updated syntax is better for more complex tasks, but for tiny macros like autoclicker, adding new shortcuts or performing other basic tasks v1.1 is the best imo

AutoHotkey is very cool, combining it with komorebi makes windows not unusable.

0:46 - you can just hold shift + home/end to select

Can you please make a video or explain how to make it so windows is on one partion while games and apps are on another

That LTT ad made me double check this channel 😂😂

If writing the scripts is too much of a hassle. Wooting has released their Wootomation, which is a lightweight macro engine with an actual user interface that you can use with any mouse or keyboard

I am so used to mac's cmd+q combination that it infuriates me that to do the same thing on windows I should press alt+f4. Thanks you so much!

Pro tip: Win+r shell:startup automatically opens the startup folder

10:30 it might be an @ instead of quotation marks may be because you're using the British English keyboard layout and not the American English keyboard layout (assuming you daily drive the American layout)

man is edging the vim community

How to select the entire line without a HOME key. SHIFT+UP. If there's a line above, you need to also press RIGHT.

Lmao your AHK setup is almost identical to mine. I've been using Mac for 2 years but switched back to Windows when I bought a new gaming PC, will keep the Mac to use for work/travel purposes though.

Everyday I open youtube to check if you upload any video

bro recorded himself having an existenstial crisis 💀

Love this. Thanks Bog

That scroll for premiere pro is gonna still affect you when you are scrolling in browsers when premiere is open

This should really be a built in feature. It's definitely something I would have expected was in Windows, before watchin this video that is 😅

your so funny yet so professional

i see bog, i click bog

I was thinking about making a cross-platform hotkey manager such that you could have the same experience across devices.
