StrokePlus.net: Evolution from StrokePlus

StrokePlus.net is the enhanced version of StrokePlus, offering more features and improved script support. The following examples demonstrate the capabilities of StrokePlus.net.

StrokePlus.net utilizes C# for scripting. For assistance, you can search online with queries like ‘C# How to do xxx’.

Usage

Activating a Hotkey with Double Press

This script allows users to trigger the F2 key by double-pressing the backquote (`) key within a 200ms interval. If only pressed once, the original key stroke will be registered.

var duration = 200;
var alreadyPressed = sp.GetStoredBool("pressed");

var originalKeyStroke = "`";
if (alreadyPressed) {
  sp.DeleteAllTimers();
  sp.StoreBool("pressed", false);

  /* The actual events are triggered here */
  sp.SendKeys("{F2}");

} else {
  sp.CreateTimer(
    "test",
    duration,
    -1,
    String.raw`

      /* after time out for 200ms, trigger the event here */
      sp.SendString(originalKeyStroke);
    
      sp.StoreBool("pressed", false);
    `
  );
  sp.StoreBool("pressed", true);
}

Binding a Virtual Key

To bind a virtual key, ensure that the hotkey is unregistered and consumed:

Navigating Between Screens

The following script allows you to switch to the next or previous screen using keyboard shortcuts:

sp.SendVKeyDown(vk.LCONTROL);
sp.SendVKeyDown(vk.LWIN);
sp.SendVKeyDown(vk.RIGHT);

sp.SendVKeyUp(vk.LCONTROL);
sp.SendVKeyUp(vk.LWIN);
sp.SendVKeyUp(vk.RIGHT);

Opening a Specific Application

To open a specific application, use the following script. Note the use of double backslashes in the file path:

sp.RunProgram('C:\\Path\\FolderA\\FolderB\\VoiceInput.exe', '', 'open', 'normal', true, false, false);

Clicking and Returning to the Previous Position

This script captures the current mouse position, performs a click, and then returns the mouse to its original location:

/*
var a = sp.GetCurrentMousePoint();
sp.MessageBox(a.X + ',' + a.Y,'getPosition')
*/

var a = sp.GetCurrentMousePoint();
sp.MouseClick(new Point(939, 245), MouseButtons.Left, true, false);
sp.Sleep(86);
sp.MouseClick(new Point(939, 245), MouseButtons.Left, false, true);
sp.MouseMove(new Point(a.X, a.Y));

Generating a Quick Click Script

This snippet generates a script to perform a quick click and saves it to the clipboard. You can create another hotkey with the copied script:

var currentMousePoint = sp.GetCurrentMousePoint();
sp.MessageBox(currentMousePoint.X + "," + currentMousePoint.Y, "getPosition");

var mousePoint = currentMousePoint.X + "," + currentMousePoint.Y;

var code = String.raw`var a = sp.GetCurrentMousePoint();
sp.MouseClick(new Point(${mousePoint}), MouseButtons.Left, true, false);
sp.Sleep(86);
sp.MouseClick(new Point(${mousePoint}), MouseButtons.Left, false, true);
sp.MouseMove(new Point(a.X, a.Y));`;

clip.SetText(code); // Code will be set to clipboard

sp.MessageBox(code, "Code Copied to Clipboard");

Macros

Macros are treated as plain strings, so use eval() to trigger them:

function activeDoublePress(actualKey, functionKey) {
  var duration = 200;
  var alreadyPressed = sp.GetStoredBool("pressed");

  if (alreadyPressed) {
    sp.DeleteAllTimers();
    sp.StoreBool("pressed", false);
    sp.SendKeys(functionKey);
  } else {
    sp.DeleteAllTimers();
    sp.CreateTimer(
      "test",
      duration,
      -1,
      String.raw`sp.SendString('${actualKey}');sp.StoreBool("pressed", false);`
    );
    sp.StoreBool("pressed", true);
  }
}

Usage Example

For any hotkey or gesture, you can implement the following:

// Usage (Double Press F1 to send Alt+F4):
eval(sp.GetMacroScript("Functions", "activeDoublePress"));
activeDoublePress(`sp.SendKeys("{F1}")`,`sp.SendModifiedVKeys([vk.LMENU], [vk.F4]); `);
