Just one more question please SpaceyKevin

Everything working great, while the programme is running, i have noticed my browser tries to download files, can i stop this happening please?

Thanks

Whoops! I forgot that Alt + clicking a link in Chrome will try to save the link! The macro activates when Alt + C is pressed and since the macro sends a "mouse click" command almost immediately after the keypress, the "click" will be combined with the Alt key.

You can add a delay before the loop begins so you have time to release the Alt key.

!c:: ; Alt + C activates the macro
sleep 1000 ; Waits 1 second (to help avoid Alt-clicking)
loop, 50 ; Loop begins

Or you can assign a different shortcut to the macro (one that doesn't use the Alt key).

Ah, i understand, thanks, could i use Ctrl + C?

Would that work?

I have tried that, still doing the download thing

Is this correct please?

^!r::Reload ; Reloads the Autohotkey script

!c:: ; Alt + C activates the macro
sleep 1000 ; Waits 1 second
loop, 50 ; Loop begins
{
click ; Sends a mouse click
send ^{tab} ; Moves onto the next tab
sleep 1500 ; Waits 1.0 seconds

The !c:: part of the script defines the key combination that activates the macro. In terms of Autohotkey, the ! symbol represents the Alt key, and C represents...C. If you want to use Ctrl + C instead, replace !c with ^c (^ represents Ctrl). However, Ctrl + C is already widely used by many operating systems as the "Copy" shortcut so I'd use a different combination instead to avoid conflicts. Something like Ctrl + J ( ^j ) would be better since that key combination is rarely used.

AutoHotKey only works on Windows machines as far as I'm aware.

Can I ask where do you put your email on the script? TIA

The email box above the entry button should already be filled in if you've previously entered a C2W competition from the same site.
