Adding a global hotkey for sending a request.

[khusan-dev]

Right now I'm using a macro for AutoHotkey

AHK macros

Sending a request when Ctrl+Q is pressed

#NoEnv  ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
; #Warn  ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.
SendMode Input  ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%  ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.

^q::
If WinExist( "ahk_exe Insomnia.exe" )
{
	ControlFocus, , ahk_exe Insomnia.exe
	ControlSend, , ^{enter}, ahk_exe Insomnia.exe
}
return

It works well. But I wish this feature was already built into Insomnia.

This is very handy when you have multiple monitors and one of them has Insomnia set to full screen. Thus, you can not distract yourself from coding and test the API by pressing a hotkey.

I want to explain why. It’s much more pleasant not to reach for the mouse and change windows, but to press the hotkey without “looking up from the code” and see the result of the request.

Right now I can send a request by pressing CMD+ENTER. You can configure the shortcuts in the Preferences.

I know that there is a hotkey that sends a request, but it works when the Insomnia program window is active. I meant a global hotkey that would work regardless of which window is active.
