Recently, I was getting bored because of quarantine. So I thought maybe let's do some AutoIt. I recently discovered that you can use the command prompt to run autoit scripts with CmdLine, so I was excited to use it for the first time. I wanted to make a program which "creates" a 2nd clipboard. So this is how it should work. - I open cmd - I type in "filename.au3 [the words that i want to copy]" - I press enter - It creates a hotkey to paste the copied word - It does an empty while loop so it doesn't immediately exit - To exit the script, I type in "filename.au3 exit". But "filename.au3 exit" doesn't work so I have to manually click on the tray icon which is not what I wanted. I'm fairly new to AutoIt so I don't really know how things work. Sorry if my English is horrible, it isn't my native language. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
