Stack Overflow move 4 spaces

[Docfxit]

I have a script to move text over 4 spaces.  I would like it to work no matter what the title is.

The title changes depending on what you are doing.  The only thing that is the same in all of the pages is "Mozilla Firefox".

Opt("WinWaitDelay",100)
Opt("WinTitleMatchMode",4)
Opt("WinDetectHiddenText",1)
Opt("MouseCoordMode",0)
WinWait("Edit - Stack Overflow — Mozilla Firefox","")
If Not WinActive("Edit - Stack Overflow — Mozilla Firefox","") Then WinActivate("Edit - Stack Overflow — Mozilla Firefox","")
WinWaitActive("Edit - Stack Overflow — Mozilla Firefox","")
Send("{SPACE}{SPACE}{SPACE}{SPACE}{HOME}{DOWN}{SPACE}{SPACE}{SPACE}{SPACE}{HOME}{DOWN}{SPACE}{SPACE}{SPACE}{SPACE}{HOME}{DOWN}")

you can make a hotkey for Firefox  when this page is active e.g when you press shift + alt + space to send 4 * space (or whatever else you want)

Do you have a link that shows how to make a hotkey?  Or an explanation on how to do it? I can't find it.

Maybe you have an addon like Shortkeys?

HotKeySet ( "key" [, "function"] )

https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/functions/HotKeySet.htm

or in scite write hotkeyset and press f1 (first save)

[ioa747]

simple example

While 1
    If WinActive("Stack Overflow") Then
        HotKeySet("+!{SPACE}", "SpecialSpace") ; Shift-Alt-SPACE
    Else
        HotKeySet("+!{SPACE}") ; unregister
    EndIf

    Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func SpecialSpace()
    Send("{SPACE 4}")
EndFunc   ;==>SpecialSpace

edit:
if the page does not have a fixed title, replace the
If WinActive("Stack Overflow") Then with  If WinActive("CLASS:MozillaWindowClass") Then

I have tried many different iterations of your code.

I can't get it to work in Firefox.  Have you actually tried it in Firefox?

This is my latest test:

Opt("WinWaitDelay",100)
Opt("WinTitleMatchMode",4)
Opt("WinDetectHiddenText",1)
Opt("MouseCoordMode",0)
HotKeySet('{ESC}', '_Terminate')

While 1
    If WinActive("CLASS:MozillaWindowClass") Then
        HotKeySet("!M", "SpecialSpace") ; Alt+Shift+m
    Else
        HotKeySet("!M") ; unregister
    EndIf

    Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func SpecialSpace()
    Send("{SPACE 4}")
EndFunc   ;==>SpecialSpace

Func _Terminate()
        Exit
EndFunc   ;==>Terminate

yes on this site https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/210095-stack-overflow-move-4-spaces/#comment-1516843

so the active window starts with Stack Overflow This is the title of your post

 

edit:
not working with "CLASS:MozillaWindowClass"

I was able to get it to work with this code:

Opt("WinWaitDelay",100)
Opt("WinTitleMatchMode",4)
Opt("WinDetectHiddenText",1)
Opt("MouseCoordMode",0)
HotKeySet('{ESC}', '_Terminate')

While 1
    If WinActive('[CLASS:MozillaWindowClass]') Then
        HotKeySet("!M", "SpecialSpace") ; Alt+Shift+m
    Else
        HotKeySet("!M") ; unregister
    EndIf

    Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func SpecialSpace()
    Send("{SPACE 4}{HOME}{DOWN}")
EndFunc   ;==>SpecialSpace

Func _Terminate()
        Exit
EndFunc   ;==>Terminate

Thank you,

try this

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode",2)

While 1
    If WinActive("— Mozilla Firefox") Then
        HotKeySet("+{SPACE}", "SpecialSpace") ; Shift-SPACE
    Else
        HotKeySet("+{SPACE}") ; unregister
    EndIf

    Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func SpecialSpace()

    Send("{SPACE 4}")
    Sleep(100)
    Send("{HOME}")
    Sleep(100)
    Send("{DOWN}")
    Sleep(100)
    Send("{ENTER}")
    Sleep(100)
    Send("is working!!")

EndFunc   ;==>SpecialSpace
