AWSD Move (1.12)

Description
THIS IS NOT A PLUG AND PLAY MOD SADLY, PLEASE READ INSTRUCTIONS!
It's like 1 step

This does not need to be updated so do not worry about the outdated alert.
Paradox: hah, gottem

This mod allows the user to use AWSD Keys to move the map without hassle. All keys that originally use the AWSD keys are remapped to Ctrl+[key] so you can still split your armies and such.

REQUIRED: You MUST download AutoHotKey[www.autohotkey.com]. I searched extensively in the HOI4 files and could not locate the map keys, but this is still clean to do.

INSTRUCTIONS: This mod comes with "HOI.ahk," and after downloading this mod, all you need to do is double click "HOI.ahk". It will ONLY be active if HOI4 is running. If you tab out or exit HOI4, your keys are normal. "HOI.ahk" will be located in "*:\Program Files (x86)\steam\steamapps\workshop\content\394360"

If you want this to be plug-and-play, you need to put the "HOI.ahk" file in your Startup folder so it runs every time Windows boots. Again, it doesn't do anything unless HOI4 is running.

** Multiplayer Compatible

***Ironman compatible.

Ingame typing: Press Ctrl+Shift+A to suspend the file, and you can type normally. Press Ctrl+Shift+A again and it re-enables it. Simple. Documentation will be listed below for more information.

If you want to know compatibility, this should be compatible with everything. As usual, check if any mods you use edit the files this mod changes. This mod edits the following files in the \Interface\ Folder
airselectionview.gui battleplantools.gui naviesview.gui operativeleader.gui topbar.gui unitview.gui

If a shortcut you used to use does not work, if in doubt, use Ctrl+[original key]

#IfWinActive, ahk_exe hoi4.exe ;;this looks for hoi4.exe, it does not alter it or touch it w::up ;; this reads w key as up key a::left ;; this reads a key as left key s::down ;; this reads s key as down key d::right ;; this reads d key as right key ^w::^w ;; this reads ctrl+w key combination as ctrl+w key combination ^a::^a ;; this reads ctrl+a key combination as ctrl+a key combination ^s::^s ;; this reads ctrl+s key combination as ctrl+s key combination ^d::^d ;; this reads ctrl+d key combination as ctrl+d key combination ^+a::Suspend ;; this reads ctrl+shift+a key combination and suspends the activity of this file, pressing it again re-enables

Nvmd it works now I just had to double click the script file to replace the old one after I edited it. Now the c button opens research :) thanks for this wonderful add

I can't find a way to trigger the hotkeys for intelligence and research. Ctrl W and E don't do anything. I tried editing the file and adding c::w try to access research with C key but didn't work either.
