Selects a specific number of items

[Suamy2KArg]

Hi everyone... as a newbie to this and also working with large amounts of files, I've taken the liberty of using GPT to create this script that simply selects a specific number of items from the visible panel, regardless of type or format...
When you call it, in my case I attached it to the bar, it displays a box to enter the number of items to select and that's it...
I apologize in advance if this isn't the place to do it, and I'd appreciate your comments and guidance. I've searched before posting and haven't found a way to do it using plugins. If it already exists, please let me know!
It's an .ahk (AutoHoykey) script compiled to .exe. I'm also leaving the code for anyone who wants to improve it if they wish.
Here's the link to my Google Drive.

You included a link to an old not working ahk script. And the zip file is not complete according to the readme.txt file.

(The ahk script can be found in the exe file, at the end. The file is compiled using "v1.1.37.02 U64 AutohotkeyU64.exe" as base file.)

If it already exists, please let me know!

Button code:

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
cm_Select
?<Enter the number of items>
wcmicon2.dll,21
Select the specified number of items, starting from the current position

It's the same with cm_Unselect and cm_Reverse.

You can execute hh.exe %COMMANDER_PATH%\TOTALCMD.CHM::dlg_choosecommand.htm from the command line and learn about other commands.
