While we wait… ZwiftPref update
While we wait for new routes in the next Zwift update and probably a new world later on, now is a good time to get the latest version of ZwiftPref. You can now save/remember information about the preferred monitor and recall that information later on. Besides that this version is prepared for new worlds and new routes – when Zwift releases them, ZwiftPref will pull the information from the ZwiftHacks server and almost magically let you choose world and routes (well, unless Zwift changes too much – then it may…

What to do if TR-Z-move won’t resize the Zwift window after an update…
Yes, It is related to the update but is very easy to fix. Simply close the Zwift launcher (right click the icon in the notification area and choose exit), and everything works just fine when you start Zwift again. The cause of the problem is that Zwift will be running elevated (as administrator) after the update, and then TR-Z-move doesn’t work properly.

This fixes the shortcut for giving a Ride On as well as the shortcuts for jumping between riders. Find the downloads on the zwift-hotkeys page.

Chat with preconfigured messages
(Editor’s note: This is an excellent example of how to use AutoHotkey to automate things while zwifting) With the help from Jesper’s script, I created a hotkey script that type pre-configured messages in Zwift. I thought this will be handy when leading group rides since there are a basic pattern of messages that I use. You will need to edit two txt files (Data.txt and Motivation.txt) with the messages (one per line). Data is the usual ride stuff and is controlled by the right CTRL key. Motivation is for motivational…

Send keystrokes to Zwift with AutoHotkey
There is a trick to make AutoHotkey send keystrokes to Zwift. The Administrator trick It is important that the script is run as administrator or with UI access (an option in the AutoHotkey Setup) because that is the only way it can send keystrokes to Zwift. This script shows how to do this. You can use it in your own AutoHotkey scripts. In this script I handle that by letting the script check at start if it is run as administrator, and if not it will restart itself as such.…

Small bug fix to TR-Z-move
TR-Z-move has been updated to version 3. The only change is a bug fix – the interval summary window was occasionally moved away from its position right above the minimal workout window.

Launch TrainerRoad, load your workout, and switch to minimal mode. Move the workout window to the screen where you want it (with standard Windows keyboard shortcuts Win+Shift+Right and Win+Shift+Left). Launch Zwift. Launch TR-Z-Move and make…

A quick update to the online workout editor
Now it is possible to enter a zone number from 1 to 6, too. The format must be e.g. z1, Z3, or simply 6. In general, if the ‘power’ number is less than or equal to 6, it will be interpreted as a zone. See example 2 in the online workout editor. The zones are the same as Zwift uses.
