Made a short video tutorial, explaining how to set this script up for your pc, and make it work on any resolution.

We got a new update thanks to @gvieiraaa
- The window used to trick Awakened Poe Trade into thinking it's focused on the poe window now closes after using the woke poe trade price check.
- Fixed a bug that caused the [Space] key to be pressed for some reason at the beginning of the script.
- Fixed a bug that prevented the user to re-use the script to price-check another item, after the first use.
Hey guys, recently I started playing POE on Geforce Now, where I thought price checking was impossible, until I found a workaround in a discussion on @SnosMe's github
SnosMe/awakened-poe-trade#170
you can check it out to find out more about the process
However, I found doing that process manually over and over again, a bit annoying, so I finally made this simple AHK script to automate that process.
First of all, you need to have AutoHotKey, and Awakened Poe Trade installed on your device
https://github.com/SnosMe/awakened-poe-trade
https://www.autohotkey.com/
As SnosMe stated in this comment SnosMe/awakened-poe-trade#170 (comment) , we will have to change the Production_Config.ini file, which you can find here:
...\Documents\My Games\Path of Exile\production_Config.ini
Under [ACTION_KEYS] you will find the line
highlight=18
change it to "highlight=17"
In case you do not have Path of Exile installed on your device, just create the following folders in \Documents
My Games\Path of Exile
inside, create "production_Config.ini" file, open it with any text editor and write the following 2 lines inside
[ACTION_KEYS]
highlight=17
then save it
Launch Path of Exile in Geforce Now, using your steam account (you can link steam to your path of exile account in case you don't already have this link)
Press Shift + Tab to open the steam overlay
Go to Settings -> Web Browser and change the home page to http://dontpad.com/whateveryouwanthere, you should obviously change this link, maybe to something like:
http://dontpad.com/
Go to Settings -> In-Game and replace the steam overlay key to F7, this is what I used in my script, if for some reason you use this keybind for anything else, replace it in both the script, and the overlay hotkey to whatever you like.
Finally, you should make one last change to my script, which is replacing the default dontpad.com url to the one you chose eariler, as your steam browser default home page:
user_chosen_site := "http://dontpad.com/whatever"
Sometimes dontpad will take a while to work, which will break the macro, in that case, give it a minute, and try again. This is the best I could do so far.
Hopefully someone more experienced with AHK will see this and make some suggestions
1. The script sometimes sends [Space] key at the start, which in my case is the Flame Dash keybind (using space instead mouse middle button click).
2. Sometimes the macro breaks at some point, and either pastes wrong data on dontpad, just close the "Path of Exile" fake window that contains the item data, and try again
3. Sometimes dontpad might fail to load, I can't do anything about this, unles we find an alternative to store the item data. Give it a minute and try again, reload the script if it breaks.
4. Sometimes the script works fine to the point where it opens the fake "Path of Exile" window, but fails to send ctrl+D to start the price checking macro (awakened poe trade). At this point you can alt tab out of that window, alt tab back to it, select the text and press Ctrl+D yourself, or you can just close the window and retry my macro.
I assume these issues are caused by wrong timing, currently trying to fix them.
