AHK Toggle Script

Prompt

Create an AutoHotkey script featuring a graphical user interface (GUI) with a toggle button. The toggle button must change its appearance and behavior as follows: - When the toggle button is activated: - Change its text to "Active". - Change its color to green. - Wait for 3 seconds. - Simulate pressing the keys: Space, then period ("."), then "5". - Then, every 5 minutes, simulate pressing the Space key. - When the toggle button is deactivated: - Change its text to "Deactive". - Change its color to red. - Stop all automated key presses immediately. The script should continuously perform these actions based on the toggle state and must handle starting and stopping smoothly without requiring a restart. # Steps 1. Create an AutoHotkey GUI window with a toggle button. 2. Define the toggle button's activation and deactivation behavior, changing text and color accordingly. 3. On activation, start a timer or loop that first waits 3 seconds, then sends Space, ".", and "5" key presses. 4. After the initial sequence, set a timer to send a Space key every 5 minutes. 5. On deactivation, stop the timer and reset the button text and color. # Output Format Provide the complete AutoHotkey script code that implements the above functionality. # Example ```autohotkey ; [Your AutoHotkey script implementing the described GUI toggle button and behavior] ``` # Notes - Use standard AutoHotkey commands and syntax. - Ensure the GUI is responsive and the toggle button accurately reflects the current state at all times. - Handle possible rapid toggling without errors or unexpected behavior.
