In "Function" add a text field to write an AHK script

[Forikundo]

Hi, Idk if It's complicated but I wanted to ask if It's possible to add a field to write an AHK script directly. Up until now I've been using the "run file" option but I've realised that if I change computers or something like that It's a little messy because I need to put the files in the same exact location. I believe it would be cleaner to have a field like that.

Here is one screenshot of the idea

I was wanting this too, it would be very helpful if these things are added:

ability to open in external editor of choice set in settings > [Open in External...]

Could you elaborate? I'm not sure I understand this "open external" feature

apologies for not being clear. open external means "open in external editor of choice" for example: VSCode or notepad++ etc or simple windows notepad where user can write, modify and save.

when a pie is set to "run file", we have to specify the location of the file. be it an exe file or an AHK file. suppose we have an AHK file that we set as the "run file" option. now, to modfiy the code, we have to manually browse to that file and then open the AHK file with our editor of choice.

But this option "write AHK script" or "run AHK script" (alternative name) can have:

• a path for AHK file
• simple editor text box for writing simple codes
• a button to open the AHK with editor of choice.

an option could be helpful, like - if path is omitted, AHP will store it in its own folder ("custom AHK scripts" or any name) as an AHK file. that way, we can copy it outif we need. also, there can be a dropdown option to choose from already existing AHK files in the "custom AHK scripts" folder. that way,

• if an AHP script needs to be run for multiple pies, we don't need to copy and paste the code multiple times to different pies.
• if we need to change the logic for the AHK script, we can do it in the AHK file and it will be reflected to all pies that runs it
• export/import AHK files will be easy. just copy and paste your favourite AHK scripts in "custom AHK scripts" folder and you can see it in the dropdown list to choose

I think this will be helpful when these features are implemented

I get it now, thanks for the explanation. I like the idea :D
