Thank you for all the continued help. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into running this forum.

I came across a really interesting script i would like to try out at https://github.com/indigofairyx/Extende ... u/releases it is a capslock menu speciifically designed for Directory Opus (which I have) and uses AHK v1 scripting. I have searched through the forums on how to properly import and use a AHK file, and keep coming up short and having no success. I get a window that says it doesn't recognize any command "Error at line 9 (address of the ahk file) Error: this line does not contain any recognized action. This program will exit" This is what I get if I run the script using the Shortcut --> command method. I found another post on the board by Marko saying that if the script is overly long, try running it as the "run" method. I get an error saying "Error at line 7203. Line Text: switch m{ Error: This line does not contain a recognized action. The program will now exit".

What am I doing wrong?

The application relies on several added files so it needs to be run by using Type: Run command. Also, it may be incompatible with the AutoHotkey version used in FastKeys so I suggest you run the provided exe instead of ahk script.
