add_hotkey(keyname, callback, ex_handler=None)[source]

Register a function to be called when a hotkey is pressed.

Key notes:

  • You must call the start_hotkeys method for the hotkeys to be active

  • All hotkeys run in a single AHK process instance (but Python callbacks also get their own thread and can run simultaneously)

  • If you add a hotkey after the hotkey thread/instance is active, it will be restarted automatically

  • async functions are not directly supported as callbacks, however you may write a synchronous function that calls asyncio.run/loop.create_task etc.

Parameters:

  • keyname (str) – the key trigger for the hotkey, such as #n (win+n)

  • callback (Callable[[], Any]) – callback function to call when the hotkey is triggered

  • ex_handler (Optional[Callable[[str, Exception], Any]]) – a function which accepts two parameters: the keyname for the hotkey and the exception raised by the callback function.

Return type:

None

Returns:

async function_call(function_name, args=None, blocking=True)[source]

Call an AHK function defined in the daemon script. This method is intended for use by extension authors.

Parameters:

  • function_name (str) –

  • args (Optional[list[str]]) –

  • blocking (bool) –

Return type:

Any

add_hotstring(trigger, replacement_or_callback, ex_handler=None, options='')[source]

Register a hotstring, e.g., ::btw::by the way

Key notes:

  • You must call the start_hotkeys method for registered hotstrings to be active

  • All hotstrings (and hotkeys) run in a single AHK process instance separate from other AHK processes.

Parameters:

  • trigger (str) – the trigger phrase for the hotstring, e.g., btw

  • replacement_or_callback (Union[str, Callable[[], Any]]) – the replacement phrase (e.g., by the way) or a Python callable to execute in response to the hotstring trigger

  • ex_handler (Optional[Callable[[str, Exception], Any]]) – a function which accepts two parameters: the hotstring and the exception raised by the callback function.

  • options (str) – the hotstring options – same meanings as in AutoHotkey.

Return type:

None

Returns:

remove_hotkey(keyname)[source]
Parameters:

keyname (str) –
