AHK - Random Mouse Path (MouseMove)

This functions chooses random points along the path from the current mouse position to the new one, and moves through those points on the way to the new position. This function is supposed to help prevent people from detecting the use of a bot based on movement patterns. The first two parameters are the X and Y coordinates respectively, and the third (optional) parameter is the speed at which the mouse will move. For more information on this parameter see here. The default is 25.

MoveMouse(X, Y, Speed=25) {
   T := A_MouseDelay
   SetMouseDelay, -1
   MouseGetPos, CX, CY
   Pts := Round(Sqrt((X - CX)**2 + (Y - CY)**2) / 30,0)
   Loop %Pts% {
      Random, NX, % CX - ((CX - X) / Pts) * (A_Index - 1)
                , % CX - ((CX - X) / Pts) * A_Index
      Random, NY, % CY - ((CY - Y) / Pts) * (A_Index - 1)
                , % CY - ((CY - Y) / Pts) * A_Index
      MouseMove, % NX, % NY, % Speed
   }
   MouseMove, % X, % Y, % Speed
   SetMouseDelay, % T

AHK - GenFile() - Generate files with exact size in bytes

This simple function will append exactly %Bytes% bytes to %Name%. This is useful for testing things that need to be able to move files, you can test for files of average size and get an accurate speed test.

GenFile(Name, Bytes) {
   VarSetCapacity(FBytes, Bytes, 1)
   FileAppend, % FBytes, % Name
}

GenFile("File.txt", 1024) ; Generates a 1kb file named "File.txt"

AHK - AlwaysOnTop Window Toggle

This script is great for use with script editors. For example, you need to look up detailed information about some commands, so you just hold down RAlt, look it up, then can switch back and forth simply by holding down RAlt again.

WinTitle = ahk_class Notepad

WinSet, AlwaysOnTop, On, % WinTitle
RAlt::
   A := WinExist("A")
   WinSet, AlwaysOnTop, Off, % WinTitle
   WinActivate, % WinTitle
   WinActivate, ahk_id %A% 
   Hotkey, RAlt, Off
Return

RAlt Up::
   WinSet, AlwaysOnTop, On, % WinTitle
   Hotkey, RAlt, On
Return
