Hi All, A co-worker complained that the side keys on his mouse (back and forward) were getting in the way. This script allows you to disable/re-purpose those buttons. Have only tested with a Delux M618 mouse. Haven't tested under Windows 10. This is the standalone version of the script so it will look ugly. The (cleaner) version we're using has a bunch of server calls and auto-update checks. Please report any problems here; even if you fix them yourself. Learning curve etc. #include <Misc.au3> #include <WinAPI.au3> #include <GuiComboBoxEx.au3> #include <ComboConstants.au3> #include <StaticConstants.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> Global $gLastHotKeyPressed = ""; Last Hot key pressed Global $gLastHotKeyType = "" ; Last Hot key pressed type Global Const $MSLLHOOKSTRUCT = $tagPOINT & ";dword mouseData;dword flags;dword time;ulong_ptr dwExtraInfo" Global Const $MOUSETRAPEVENT_DUMMY = "_MouseTrapEvent_Dummy" Global $currentEvent[2] Global $currentDownEvent[2] Global $lastEvent = "" Global $iLBUTTONDOWN = 0 Global $iRBUTTONDOWN = 0 Global $iMBUTTONDOWN = 0 Global $iXBUTTONDOWNNumber = 0 ; 1 or 2 xtra buttons Global $LRClickStatus = 0 Global $RLClickStatus = 0 Global $LRDrag = 0 Global $RLDrag = 0 Global $LMDrag = 0 Global $RMDrag = 0 Global $doubleClickTime = 400 Global $gLastMouseEventPressed = "" ; Added for HotKeySetEx UDF ;Global $gLastHotKeyPressed = ""; Last Hot key pressed Added for HotKeySetEx UDF ;Global $gLastHotKeyType = "" ; Last Hot key pressed type Added for HotKeySetEx UDF ; Mouse On event variables Global $a__MSOE_Events[1][1] Global $a__MSOE_DblClk_Data = __MouseTrapEvent_GetDoubleClickData() $doubleClickTime = $a__MSOE_DblClk_Data[0] + 50 Global $hKey_Proc Global $hM_Module Global $hM_Hook If _Singleton("MouseKeyModifier.exe", 1) = 0 Then MsgBox(0, "Warning", "Mouse Key Modifier is already running.")

Here's a hacky script I made to make the music key on my keyboard click the back button on my Chrome browser. You need to compile the script in to an exe, and associate "cda" file extension to the executable. Note- this also means you can reassign the music key on your keyboard to whatever executable you want using this method! AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 2) HotKeySet("{Escape}", "exitScript") $chromePos = WinGetPos("Chrome") If (@error <> 0) Then ConsoleWriteError("Can not find Chrome window - WinGetPos returned @error: " & @error & @CRLF) Exit EndIf $originalMousePos = MouseGetPos() MouseClick("primary", $chromePos[0] + 20, $chromePos[1] + 45, 1, 2) MouseMove($originalMousePos[0], $originalMousePos[1], 2) Func exitScript() ConsoleWrite("Exiting script..." & @CRLF) Exit EndFuncYay AutoIt3 community. Unfortunately, for the most part at work I've moved on to OSX machines (meh). Seems like that's what all the companies are developing on lately.

BackRef UDF Working This UDF is made to provide a small interface towards the StringRegExpReplace Autoit function. The extension is very limited but is an easy approach when used properly. Functions User can pass the complete back-reference to a function.The return value from the function is then used to replace the specific group.The final replacement is flexible and the user has full control over it.The final replacement is done automatically till modification isn't required.The optimization is easy and simple.LimitationsThe pattern has to consume the full string.Example Replace the vowels with their ASCII code #include <BackRef.au3> $i_BackRef_Debug = True ;Set Debug to true ; .. Example 1 ============================================================================================================================ ; Replace the vowels with their ASCII code Local $Replaced = RegExBackRef( 'Hello Nice Meeting You', '(.*?)([aeiou])(.*)', "AscW" ) ;The Function is inbuilt If @error Then Exit @error MsgBox ( 64, 'Test', $Replaced ) ; ............ ============================================================================================================================ Make the first Number group equal to second number group if its greater than that ; .. Example 2 ============================================================================================================================ ; The Function replaces the first group with third group if its greater than that Local $Replaced = RegExBackRef( '1223 MaxRange : 150', '(\d+)([^:]+:\h+)(\d+)', "SetMaxRange", '\1:\3', "$v & '\2\3'" ) If @error Then Exit @error MsgBox ( 64, 'Test', $Replaced ) ; The User Defined Function Func SetMaxRange( $iString ) $iString = StringSplit( $iString, ':' , 2) $iString[0] = Int ( $iString [0] ) $iString[1] = Int ( $iString [1] ) If $iString[0] > $iString[1] Then Return $iString[1] Return $iString[0] EndFunc ; ............ ============================================================================================================================ The Function replaces unicode chars with ascii alphabet ; .. Example 3 ============================================================================================================================ ; The Function replaces unicode version with ascii alphabet Local $String = 'Déjà' Local $Replaced While 1 $Replaced = RegExBackRef($String, '(.*?)([àâäéèêë])(.*)', "ReplaceFunc") If $Replaced = -1 Or @error Then ExitLoop $String = $Replaced WEnd MsgBox(64, 'Test', $String) Func ReplaceFunc($sMatch) Switch $sMatch Case "é","è","ê","ë" Return "e" Case "à","â","ä" Return "a" EndSwitch EndFunc ;==>ReplaceFunc ; ............ ============================================================================================================================ Convert the unicode lower-case chars to upper-case ; .. Example 4 ============================================================================================================================ ;Convert these chars to upper-case Local $String = "à æ û ü" MsgBox(64, 'Test', GlobalBackRef($String, '(.*?)([\340-\374])(.*)', "ReplaceUniChar")) Func ReplaceUniChar($sMatch) ;Get the ASCII code of the string $iAscW = AscW($sMatch) ;Return the character preceding the current character by 32 Return ChrW($iAscW - 32) EndFunc ;==>ReplaceUniChar ; ............ ============================================================================================================================ ChangeLog v1.0 -First Release v1.1 -Added Debugging features -Added Global Replacement v1.2 -Added Count parameter v1.3 -Now supports formatting control like \r \n and \t in the replace sequence.
