{ Code: Impossible }

If you're not familiar with AutoHotKey yet, I've blogged about it before and I would recommend giving that post a read. For the rest of you I thought I would post some useful AHK scripts that I have come across.

The most important AHK script ever.
Disabling Caps-lock. I constantly fat-finger the caps-lock button. With this script, I never have to worry about it again.

SetCapsLockState, AlwaysOff

Generate a "safe" jQuery code block
This script will generate a self-calling anonymous function that scopes jQuery and protects your code from other possible interference from other javascript frameworks. You can read more about it here.

;insert a self-calling anonymous method to scope jQuery calls
:*R0:{jqsafe}::
(
(function($) {{} 
    $(function() {{}
    // ...code to run on dom ready

{Left}{Left}{Left}{Left}{}});`n{}})(jQuery);
)
return

Include jQuery from the Google CDN
This script will turn {jqgoog#.#.#} into a <script> tag pointing to that version of jquery, specified by the #.#.#, hosted on googles cdn. {jqgoog1.4.2} will become: Line breaks added for readability

<script 
type=”text/javascript” 
src=http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js></script>

{jqgoog1} will become: Line breaks added for readability

<script 
type=”text/javascript” 
src=http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js></script>

Here is the script.

; Include jQuery from google cdn
~{::
Input, UserInput, I V L13 C, {}}, jqgoog*,
if ErrorLevel = NewInput
    return
Test := InStr( UserInput, "jqgoog" )
Len := StrLen( UserInput ) + 2

if Test > 0:
{
	jqVer := RegExReplace( UserInput, "jqgoog", "" )
	SetKeyDelay, -1  ; Most editors can handle the fastest speed.
	
	Loop %Len%
	{
		Send, {backspace}
	}
	
	Send, <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/%jqVer%/jquery.min.js"></script>
    return
}
return

Automate writing simple database connection code in C#
This script will turn {atwood} into a block of C# that can connect to a database and issue a query.

:*R0:{atwood}::
(
var connString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["connection"].ConnectionString;
var query = @"";
using(var conn = new SqlConnection(connString))
{{}
    conn.Open();
using( var cmd = new SqlCommand( query, conn ) ) 
{{}
    
{}}
{Left}{}}
)
return

Here's the output:

var connString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["connection"].ConnectionString;
var query = @"";
using(var conn = new SqlConnection(connString))
{
    conn.Open();
    using( var cmd = new SqlCommand( query, conn ) )
    {
	
    }
}

Enjoy!
