w10gyro_onlyPrevAndNext.ahk use with Microsoft PowerToys

[henrysinn]

Hi Inirdin.

Awesome work and I can't wait to implement the Previous and Next code (only) for my W10 Gyro

Your readme notes: "If you don't need functionality of AHK, use only "w10gyro_onlyPrevAndNext.ahk" with Microsoft PowerToys (https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys)"

Question: Could you please elaborate on how the code is to be used 'with Microsoft PowerToys'? (Downloaded and installed PowerToys last night and can not see or find a connection to use your code)

Thank you Henry

PowerToys include Keyboard Manager that lets you remap the rest of the keys. It has GUI so it's easier to use than writing AHK remapping. You can do it either way. If you don't plan on remapping anything other than the special keys, you don't need PowerToys. Just let the script run in background.

Just want to remap Previous and Next. PowerToys does not seem to recognise the input (pressing either button). How do I let the script run in the background without installing AHK?

You have to have AHK installed or there is portable option which you could have right beside the script. Sadly this is not standalone solution.
