Use of AHK Scripts for automating things inside P6

Hello Planning Planet,

I wasn’t sure which forum would be best for this, but I’ve seen similar posts from newcomers or those switching platforms for a beginner friendly way to navigate and learn P6, so I thought I’d share here.

I’ve developed an AutoHotkey (AHK) script that streamlines several common tasks in planning software:

  1. Clipboard to Activities/WBS Pane
    • Paste entries directly from the clipboard into Activities or WBS, with the option to format in Proper Case or keep As-is.
  2. Custom Key Bindings
    • Quick shortcuts for switching views (WBS, Activities, Gantt, Table, Relationship lines) and toggling the bottom layout on/off.
  3. Theme Application
    • Apply a predefined theme instantly via a button or shortcut.
  4. Automated Export
    • One-click automation for exporting to XLSX.
