stahky

A take on stacky in AutoHotkey (AHK) for Windows 10

Usage

• Drag a folder with shortcuts, programs and files onto Stahky
  • A taskbar pinnable icon will be created in the same folder as Stahky itself.
  • You should edit the shortcut's icon before pinning it.
  • Once pinned, you can delete the shortcut file.
  • Note: you can set files as hidden if you don't want them to appear in the Stahky menu.
• Appearance, DPI, offsets, etc. settings
  • Colors are determined automatically on the first run
  • Edit stahky.ini for specific colors, offsets (x or y), use DPI for size and position calculation, ...
  • The SortFoldersFirst option allows you to have folders appear first at the top of each menu accordingly.
• Submenus
  • You can use a normal folder and customize it's icon (in properties)
    • Use a shortcut to a folder, if you want to be able to open it instead of a having submenu
  • You can have stahky shortcuts within your folder for custom submenus. Stahky-licious!
    • Stahkys that have circular references will be capped by the recursion depth setting STAHKY_MAX_DEPTH (default is 5).
• Press WheelButton / MButton on
  • a stahky to open its target folder for easy editing.
  • any item to open its parent folder.
• Intended to run as a compiled binary (best experience), but the script can be executed directly.
• Press Shift+Win+a or Right-click (RButton) any item in a stacky to show the About/First-time-use dialog to easily check the version and other information.
• If Stahky takes too long to load, it will warn you of including folders that are too large.
  • this time limit STAHKY_MAX_RUN_TIME can be changed but has a minimum of 1000 ms and maximum of 10 s of wait time (default is 3500 ms).
