Mi-Ke
=====
This Mike is not exactly Mycroft Holmes but rather a collection of Autohotkey scripts.
A few fancy ones:
**Control+Win+Z**: Zips the entire folder, or just the selected files, in Windows Explorer.
([windows-explorer-zip-directory](https://github.com/itenium-be/Mi-Ke/blob/master/scripts-windows-explorer/windows-explorer-zip-directory.ahk))
**Control+Win+Alt+D**: Minimize all windows on monitor of active Window. Press again to restore.
([windows-min-max](https://github.com/itenium-be/Mi-Ke/blob/master/scripts-other/windows-min-max.ahk))
**Control+Alt+D**: Open Windows Explorer and select last downloaded file ([windows-explorer](https://github.com/itenium-be/Mi-Ke/blob/master/scripts-windows-explorer/windows-explorer.ahk))
# What
A script running in the background (tray icon) with little productivity boosters.
- Hotstrings to reduce amount of typing (atm -> at the moment)
- Shortcuts to start programs (win+o -> open solitaire.exe)
- Enhancements to programs (cmd, windows explorer, ...)
- Random scripts to do something I often do (did?) manually
- Dev tooling (encode/decode, prettify/uglify, convert, ...)
See the [Github Pages](https://itenium.be/Mi-Ke) for a listing of
all shortcuts and their default bindings.
Or don't: the information on the site is pretty outdated.
# Configuration
See [resources\init\_custom-example.yml](resources/init/_custom-example.yml) for how to configure a custom hotkey.
# Install
## From source
Requires [Autohotkey_L](https://autohotkey.com/download).
PowerShell:
```ps
git clone https://github.com/itenium-be/Mi-Ke
cd Mi-Ke
# Start
.\mike.ahk
```
Personal customization (optional):
```ps
# Add some custom config & examples
.\init.ps1
# If you do not want examples run the following instead
.\init.ps1 -bare
```
## Persist
To start Mi-Ke when Windows starts:
Put a `mike.ahk.lnk` in `%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup`.
In the right click contextmenu of the Mi-Ke tray icon there is also an option to do this for you.
More step by step instructions can be found
in the [official docs FAQ](https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/FAQ.htm#Startup)
### Mi-Ke doesn't work in Visual Studio
The scripts aren't working only when Visual Studio (or any other app) is running as administrator.
The solution would be to also start Mi-Ke as administrator when you want the scripts to be available
in these applications.

# Known Issues
Binding `AppsKey & X` (with x any character) breaks AppsKey in Cmder.
