Autohotkey for second monitor

[mattw]

First, I searched and got plenty of hits but nothing specific to my question. I have recently began using the script by illuniuos and find it a wonderful finger/wrist saver. Here. (http://www.onlinepokerfaq.com/guide/mouseless-poker.html) My problem is I have two monitors and would like the script to work on both.

Would someone be so kind as to write a patch for the script and post it so that all I need to do is c & p it into the original. Please state where it should be placed in the original.

TIA

Per your request.
NOTE: I'm assuming both of your monitors are 1600 - 1200 rez.
To navigate to the second monitor use the same keypad numbers as for the first monitor but press and hold the ALT key. Enjoy.
Post this code immediately below the code which follows this section.
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Define keys for absolute mouse motion to a particular window.
; For example, "Numpad7" always goes to the upper-left window.
; This does not depend on where the mouse starts.

I use the keypad #'s 4 5 6(No ALT Key) for Fold Check/Call Bet/Raise respectively for both monitors. Also numpad "+" for AutoPost and numpad "-" for SitOut. Just replace the current Define Keys section with this.

now im alittle confused. i got the mouse to go to the second monitor. i inserted the second monitor syntax to the action buttons and get an error message saying double syntax something or other. how do you use the same action keystrokes for the different monitors? im using the function keys for the actions as i have already miskeyed and called a $10 raise with TT /images/graemlins/confused.gif

The section of code I posted is meant to replace the code that is already in the section of your copy, so be sure to delete the old section of code. The code I posted replaces your function keys with the number pad 4,5,6,-,+ keys respectively. I like using one hand for as many functions as possible. I hope this answers your question.

Here is the complete script I use and it works for me. If all else fails kill your copy and replace the entire script with this.

Sorry your having trouble. Check it out with all eight positions of your monitors occupied with a game table. Be sure the tables are in the corners of each monitor. There doe's appear to be a problem when you try to navigate to an unoccupied game position. Also if you have other non game related windows opened this will confuse the script and it will navigate to that window sometimes instead of a game window.

[mattw]

okay. will take your recent advise into action. i have been testing the script on blank screens and all appears to work except the action buttons on the second monitor. gotta get some sleep now. will respond afterwards.

If that doesn't work out for you, consider a trackball. I just got the Expert Mouse trackball a few weeks ago. It cost $100 but my constant wrist pain disappeared a few days after I got it. It took me about two hours to be comfortable using it to play poker, and I just left my normal mouse plugged in for playing games. I'm loving it.

PSA:

problem solved. 8 tables with hotkeys. heaven on earth. thanks to all who contributed.
