I just reorganized the code adding that stuff to simpledisplay.d.
I think you should still understand the implementation code so
you can customize it, but the main thing should look simpler now:
// same command to compile as before:
// dmd hotkey.d simpledisplay.d color.d -L/SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS:5.0
void main() {
import core.sys.windows.windows;
import simpledisplay;
auto window = new SimpleWindow(100, 50, "Hotkey");
window.registerHotKey(0, VK_F2, {
sendSyntheticInput("Hello");
});
window.registerHotKey(0, VK_F4, {
sendSyntheticInput(", world!\n");
});
window.eventLoop(0);
}
Update simpledisplay.d by downloading the new file from github
https://github.com/adamdruppe/arsd/blob/master/simpledisplay.d
The new function works the same way as the old: modifiers, then
virtual key code. The difference is the handler is put on the
same line (I also renamed sendString to sendSyntheticInput to fit
in simpledisplay.d).
Heck, I could even make this an exe with a little text area
inside the window to set the listener script and a GUI to select
the keys if I spent another hour or two on it...
but meh, see how far you can get now, playing with it a while
will help you learn too.
