QUESTION
I am working on a project to write to and read from a TP Link / Kaza power strip or smart plug.
The data that is sent is encrypted json that has been "autokey encrypted".
So far I have been able to convert a typescript encrypt function and it works well. I get the expected result. However, I need to add a "header" to my encrypted data. That data is 3 null bytes followed by a byte that is a measure of the length of the encrypted bytes.
The typescript example has this bit of code to "encrypt with headers", however, I've hit a bit of a wall trying to convert it to something usable. Can someone nudge me along the path ?
First are the two typescript functions: (borrowed from https://github.com/plasticrake/tplink-smarthome-crypto/blob/master/src/index.ts)
...ANSWER
Answered 2022-Mar-13 at 18:02It looks like the encryption is fairly simple: write the current character XORed with the key to the buffer and make that newly written character the new key. It also looks like the "withHeaders" version adds the length of the encrypted string as a 4 byte integer to the start of the buffer. I think it might be easier to allocate a character array and pass that array to a function that writes the result to that buffer. For example:

QUESTION
I want to remap wasd to arrow keys, but then be able to use a hotkey to toggle these (four) phrases so I can go back to wasd behaviour easily. Just putting a window filter on the phrase will not be sufficient. The only ways I can see to do this is to write bash scripts to directly modify the contents of my phrase files, which is obviously a very dirty solution. I am surprised to find that there doesn't seem to be an easy way to toggle phrases on and off similar to how you can toggle AutoHotkey scripts on Windows. Is there a more sophisticated way of doing this than to use bash scripts to directly overwrite the contents of the .txt files associated with my phrases?
I am okay with solutions that fix my problems but do not use Autokey too, as long as they work on Ubuntu 20.04
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Oct-10 at 15:29I managed to write a fix by writing a bash script that checks if autokey is currently open, if so it closes it, else it starts it, then I made a keyboard shortcut to this bash script. Closing autokey disables the phrases. It's not a clean solution, since this only allows me to toggle all of my Autokey phrases at once, but it works for my current use case. Hopefully this can be useful to someone else as well.

...ANSWER
Answered 2021-May-09 at 14:12Updating youtube-dl. Depending on the way you installed it, here are the commands:(in windows)
1-youtube-dl --update (self-update)
2-pip install -U youtube-dl (via python)
3-choco upgrade youtube-dl (Windows + Chocolatey)
and a cookies.txt file can be created with the "cookies.txt" extension.
Do this while being logged in to YouTube.
for example :
For Firefox: this
For Chrome:this
Then run youtube-dl like this:
youtube-dl.exe --cookies C:\Users\tezJR\Downloads\cookies-txt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=$VIDEO-ID
adjust that command to where your cookies.txt file is actually located and replace $VIDEO-ID with the ID of your restricted video

QUESTION
I moved from Windows to Linux and want to use AutoHotKey. I've tried using autokey but I really didn't like it. Is it possible to use golang to simply send strings as keystrokes to other programs?
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Feb-28 at 00:42The github.com/micmonay/keybd_event package provides an API for simulating keystrokes cross-platform, I.e on Linux, MacOS and Windows.
The API does not however provide a way of mapping strings to a sequence of keypresses. That you will have to implement yourself or alternatively, if you want us to help, describe how you would like the strings to be mapped to keypresses.
QUESTION
Right now I've got two Autokey scripts (for modularity), one that opens a file, and one that puts text in it.
The one that opens the file has hotkey F1 (and we'll call this script 1 for simplicity), and the one that puts text in it has hotkey F2. I want a new Autokey script, that when I hit F3, it runs both the 1 script and the 2 script.
I've tried making the 3 script just send the F1 and F2 keys, but the timing is all off. It would be better if I could just call 1 and 2 from 3. Is this possible?
Thanks!
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Dec-04 at 20:26engine.run_script("")
ought to do the trick
"Description" in this context is generally the name of the script in the side bar in the AutoKey interface. If you open up the .json file for the script you can see it for sure, but it will be the name displayed in the side bar unless you have duplicate names for scripts in the same folder or some other edge scenario

autoKey often stops working if i press my script shortcut F12
about every 70%. And about every 50% of them the icon gets red and autoKey is freezing. CPU load grows a little bit.
Its difficult to say what may the reason it.
The script (gist is a bit large.
About 500 lines and offered on github.
I debug by sending while i recording my desktop to video file (youtub LKl4Ufhh3P8 ).
it open via wine a menu (autoHotKey script called lintalist) and catches the changed clipboard and writes it out.
When I restart the autoKey script it runs a couple of times (maybe three or five times). I inserted 100 milliseconds as a pause at various points. Since then, I don't have to restart the operating system, only kill the script when it freezes.
any idea what to try?
for debugging i use such little helpers: ...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Nov-12 at 15:44These problems have not disappeared for a few days as a result of the following changes:
The solution described above uses the clipboard and keyboard together with Linux and Windows (Wine) conveyed via two scripting languages.
Apps:
clipboard ⇄ AutKey ⇄ AutoHotKey ⇄ Lintalist
operating systems:
clipboard ⇄ Kubuntu ⇄ WineHQ 1
Errors are more common in non-closed systems. Therefore, for example, such errors are typical (still open problem at 2020:11:12 in autokey):

QUESTION
is it possible to send the alt+tab for switch to last window with AutoKey ?
i tried without success:
keyboard.send_keys("++")
Or forward window:
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Oct-11 at 12:31TL;DR: Not directly with our API.
The AutoKey API talks directly to the current active window. So, sending events targeted at the desktop (DTE) will only work if the current active window recognizes them as such and either forwards them to the DTE or emulates what they do.
However, since AutoKey scripts are written in full Python 3, if you can figure out how to do it yourself in Python, AutoKey can run it for you. And, if some other solution is available, you can run it from within an AutoKey script using the subprocess module.

Install autokey
You can use autokey like any standard Python library. You will need to make sure that you have a development environment consisting of a Python distribution including header files, a compiler, pip, and git installed. Make sure that your pip, setuptools, and wheel are up to date. When using pip it is generally recommended to install packages in a virtual environment to avoid changes to the system.
