Auto Hot Key Macro Controller

A gui for setting up macros for a second keyboard
This script allows for the user to pick a key then change its command without ever having to enter an IDE
It also comes with a bash script to have the program run on startup
Uses the lua scripts from Parrot029's Repo but could probably be replaced with the scripts from TaranVH's Repo

Main Setup -

1. Download and Install Necessary Files and Programs

2. Follow the steps in Parrot029's README

I would like to note that you should change the location where the key.txt file is to the folder with the Gui.ahk script
For example -

line 21:    local file = io.open("..\\Auto-Hot-Key-Macro-Controller\\key.txt", "w")

3. Modify the bash file

If you wish to have the program run on start then modify the bash file as follows

Change the luamacros.exe and the lua scripts location

start _PATH_TO_LUAMACROS_EXE_ -r "_PATH_TO_PARROTS_REPO_\Secondary_MACRO_keyboard\2nd_keyboard.lua" 

to something more like this

start C:\Users\johnny_appleseed\Downloads\luamacros\LuaMacros.exe -r "C:\Users\johnny_appleseed\Downloads\Secondary_MACRO_keyboard\2nd_keyboard.lua" 

Then change the location of this REPO

start _PATH_TO_MAIN_REPO_\Auto-Hot-Key-Macro-Controller\Main.ahk
start _PATH_TO_MAIN_REPO_\Auto-Hot-Key-Macro-Controller\Gui.ahk

to something like this

start C:\Users\johnny_appleseed\Downloads\Auto-Hot-Key-Macro-Controller\Main.ahk
start C:\Users\johnny_appleseed\Downloads\Auto-Hot-Key-Macro-Controller\Gui.ahk

4. You're Done

Hopefully everything goes as its supposed to and the program will work.
