Glad to read your reply. I was going to ask for the source (it is GNU right?) but tore the script from the exe and have been playing with the extracted source today. Mostly reformatting and wrapping my head around the original "On-Screen Keyboard by Jon" script. The good news is with a few minor changes the code works with autoHotKey v1.1.20.2 from http://ahkscript.org/. I know how to approach this in other languages and was going to try the same technique tomorrow. If you want to discuss it in detail PM me.

I found this searching for a couple of other references to ahk scripts that I've seen posted.  I finally got around to getting ahk installed.
 
I was thinking of a thread to share ahk scripts in ... too bad this one is compiled.
 
 

An update!
 
As requested, the latest KBD package, now available on the website, contains a key bindings file which has been updated for Sonar Platinum. As before, any mistakes you find are mine - but now you can fix them because...
 
... the bug that prevented proper loading of user-defined key bindings has been fixed too! Many thanks to scook for diving into the code and coming up with a solution. It's much appreciated, as have been our discussions over the last few days.
 
Also, if anyone decides to write a bindings file for another tool, or makes any changes that they would like to share, please let me know. I'll be happy to include them in any future packages.
 
Here's the website again:

Enjoy!
 
 

 
This is great.  Thank you.
 
Is it supposed to beep everytime you hit a key to see what its bindings are ?
 
The program doesn't show up in the windows taskbar so its window can get lost beneath other windows with no way to get at it without closing or moving the other windows.
 
Other than that, it seems to work fine.
 

Hey Paul. I was getting the beep too. It's coming from Windows. I actually turned it off on my system and then forgot about it. I'm not sure what I can do about it, I'll have to check. In the meantime, unless you actually want it, you can shut it off by going to Sounds portion of the Control Panel. Go to the Sounds tab in the Change System Sounds. I believe it's called "Default Beep", or something like that. Just set it to "none".
 
As for the taskbar issue, I see that one too. AutoHotKey scripts show up in the lower right portion of the taskbar as a green box with an "H" in it. (you might have to hit the up-arrow to see it among the other running tasks). Again, not sure how to deal with that, but you can easily bring the keyboard back on top by typing the win->space key combination twice to hide it and re-open it. It will pop back up on top.
 
I'll try to look into better solutions, but that may not happen right away. In the meantime, see if these suggestions aren't a help.
 
Thanks....

Thanks Jac!
 
Really great utility. I've created a bunch of spreadsheets as cheatsheets and never really liked any of them. This is just what I need.
 
Thanks again for taking the time to update it for Platinum!

Very cool, very useful (especially for someone coming [back] from a DAW with a whole 'nother set of keybindings!)


Thanks much for this!
