Available Methods

Most useful methods from autohotkey are implemented in this wrapper. However, not everything is implemented (yet). This page can serve as a quick reference of AutoHotkey methods that are implemented in the wrapper.

(Coming soon: links to equivalent Python method(s))

Directives

In general, all directives are technically usable, however many do not have applicable context in the Python library.

Some directives are mentioned in tables above and are omitted from this table.

AutoHotkey Command	Notes
#HotkeyInterval
#HotkeyModifierTimeout
#Hotstring
#Include[Again]	Using this directive is strongly discouraged as it is very likely to cause issues. Use with extreme caution.
#InputLevel
#KeyHistory
#MaxHotkeysPerInterval
#MaxMem
#MaxThreads
#MaxThreadsBuffer
#MaxThreadsPerHotkey	Hotkey callbacks are run in Python, so this largely won’t have any significant effect
#MenuMaskKey
#NoEnv
#NoTrayIcon	If you use hotkeys or hotstrings, you probably also want to configure this as a hotkey transport option
#Persistent	This is on by default in scripts run by this library
#Requires
#SingleInstance	This directive is provided by default (SingleInstance Off for the main thread)
#UseHook
#Warn	Not relevant for this library
#AllowSameLineComments	Not relevant for this library
#ClipboardTimeout	Not relevant for this library
#CommentFlag	Not relevant for this library
#ErrorStdOut	Not relevant for this library
#EscapeChar	Not relevant for this library
#InstallKeybdHook	Not relevant for this library
#InstallMouseHook	Not relevant for this library
#If	Not relevant for this library
#IfTimeout	Not relevant for this library
