Autohotkey vs. AutoIt

I am sorry my misuse of the terms - I wasn’t even aware that I had mixed them up again - brought you into such lengths of arguing, but then, no need to convince me of my mistake, simply replace all verbs and nouns “program(ming)” with “script(ing)” - I usually do that distinction you remind me of here on my own, seems I didn’t gave enough attention to it here.

Pure slapstick, over 4 pages:

= A man from Russia or Ukraine says Russian AI forum is even nicer than English AHK forum, but English AI forum isn’t nice at all. Needs this:

“GUI something really similar to Jitbits macro editor, so i just place actions i need, save it and get script as output

Desired actions:

Mouse Clicks / Movement
Mouse Drags
Keyboard Actions
Loops, ifs,else, this kind of variables
Pixelsearch, image search
Goto,pause,break
Script in a script option
Delays,sleeps
Hotkey assign
working with clipboard
window based activation like (script becomes active only for selected application)
Ability to record macros on fly”

Which brings this comment from tank:

“looks like some pretty robust requirements you might consider starting by hiring a project manager or software architect.”

Finally decides he will search for an AI programmer to do it, notwithstanding the outstanding kindness encountered in AHK forum.

Where’s the slapstick, then?

Well, he’s got 100 bucks to finance the project…
