Summary

I have AHK installed, and I have set the environment variable $Env:KOMOREBI_AHK_EXE to the Autothokey64.exe file.

When I start with --ahk, it works only when I give the full path in the env variable and not a relative path with ~.

C:/Users/abc/AppData/Local/Programs/AutoHotkey/v2/AutoHotkey64.exe  ->Works


~/AppData/Local/Programs/AutoHotkey/v2/AutoHotkey64.exe                    -> Does not work

This is odd because in my $PROFILE file, Komorebi's config home is set with ~ and that is working.

Am I missing something here? It is supposed to work, right?

@azinsharaf commented on GitHub (Oct 15, 2025):

can you test it with using $Env:USERPROFILE in the powershell?
something like this:
$Env:KOMOREBI_AHK_EXE = "$Env:USERPROFILE\scoop\apps\autohotkey\current\UX\AutoHotkeyUX.exe"

Closing issues related to launching AHK from komorebic because this feature is now EOL, meaning no more work will be done on it and it will eventually be dropped during a major version bump
