Launching Org-Capture in Win 7 with AutoHotKey

I finally figured out how to launch org-capture from anywhere in Windows 7. I’m using AutoHotKey.

; org-capture
~F9::
If WinExist("ahk_class Emacs")
{
WinActivate
Send ^{c}
Send {c}
}
else
{
Run "C:\emacs-24.0.90\bin\runemacs.exe"
WinWaitActive, emacs
Send ^{c}
Send {c}
}
return
;

I have Ctrl-c c set up as the org-capture shortcut. I know there’s another option through something called org-protocol that might work better.

I just got it puzzled out, so I don’t know what my mileage will be. But I’m pretty jazzed at the prospects. Comments to the code might be forthcoming.

Windows 7 Wired Ethernet Adaptor Preference over Wireless

I’m always fighting with Windows 7 when I’m on a wired connection. I don’t want it to prefer wireless by default.

Every article I found talked about playing with the TCP/IP V4 interface metric, but that wasn’t what I was looking for.

I searched around on the web and found the following at the bottom of a thread.

In the start menu, search for ‘network connections’ and press enter.

In the window the comes up, use Alt-key for menu. Choose Advanced. (alt-n-s) On the Adapters and Bindings tab, re-order the connections, putting your wired connection at the top.

This seems to do the trick so far. I’d like to find how to do this via “netsh” since the above isn’t at all intuitive. I also want to spend some time digging into these advanced options.
