AHK Keyboard Helper v2.0.0

A compact, high-performance AutoHotkey v2 script combining:

• macOS-style Layout Switcher (toggles between last two active layouts)
• CapsLock Reset & Long-press (tap = switch to English, hold = native CapsLock toggle)
• Plain Text Paste (Win+V)
• Screen Color Picker (Win+Alt+C)

Key Features

1. macOS-Style Layout Switcher

Toggle between your two most recently used keyboard layouts with a quick tap of a single key (e.g. LCtrl).

• Context Aware: Tracks active layout per-window, fully compatible with consoles (PowerShell, Command Prompt, Far Manager) via IME window resolution.
• Smart Tap Detection: Distinguishes between a quick tap (for layout switching) and long-press / modifiers (holding Ctrl).

2. CapsLock Reset & Long-Press

• Short Tap: Immediately and unconditionally resets your keyboard layout to primary (en-US). Never guess which language is active when typing code, passwords, or shell commands.
• Long Press (>350ms): Toggles real CapsLock (uppercase mode). Prevents accidental CapsLock activation during fast typing.

3. Plain Text Paste

Strip all formatting when pasting from the clipboard.

• Hotkey: Win+V by default.
• Clean: Preserves original clipboard content after paste.

4. Screen Color Picker

Inspect any pixel on screen and grab its hex color code.

• Hotkey: Win+Alt+C copies #RRGGBB directly to clipboard and shows a brief 1-second tooltip.

Installation & Setup

1. Install AutoHotkey v2.0.
2. Run KeyboardHelper.ahk (or place a shortcut in your Startup folder shell:startup).
