AutoHotkey Version 2 breaks compatibility

Version 2.0 of AutoHotkey has officially been released, which, among other things, removes the "#NoEnv" command. version 2.0 changes
When opening desktop_switcher.ahk, via AutoHotkey, you get an error saying:

Error: This line does not contain a recognized action.

I think the readme should be updated to state that version <2.0 is needed to run the project (until compatible comes back).

Same issue here. Is there a workaround to make the script work with AHK v2.0?

If you install AutohotKey version 1, then it works fine.

@ChristianHinge yep, V1 works fine.

I opened #88 to add a header to the script so that anyone who tries running it with V2 will be prompted to auto-install and run with V1

Just finished installing Autohotkey v2.0.2 only to discover I had the wrong version. I then re-read the installation portion of this page https://github.com/pmb6tz/windows-desktop-switcher and realized there's a line that's misleading:

Install AutoHotkey v1.1 or later - this is technically incorrect and misleading. Should

Maybe something like this would be better:
Install AutoHotkey Version 1 Only (v1.1 or later, but not version 2 or later)
Install AutoHotkey v1.1 or later but Not Version 2
Install AutoHotkey Verion X, where 1.1 => X < 2

Actually kinda hard to say in an intuitive way, but one thing I'm confident about - it shouldn't say what it does now. Or better yet - add support for version 2!
