How do I open last opened window?

Please don't say alt-tab.

Alt tab opens a window of the last-opened *application*.

It is not necessarily the last window which was open,
it could be *any* window owned by that application.

So: how do I give the input focus to the last window
that had it, (and bring it to the top)?

No. That opens all the windows in a huge cycle.

What I'm after is the ability to open the last window which had the input focus.

Obviously, that's what alt-tab ought to do - but it's badly busted.

Sounds like an interesting problem, though I must say I have no clue how to do this. Wait for one of those pros to help, or I guess searching the forum with the search tool is an option..

This seems to work:

Code:
Loop
   {
   WinGetTitle, Title, A
   WinWaitNotActive, %Title%
   LastWindow := Title
   }
RETURN
F5::WinActivate, %LastWindow%

Hope this helps :)

This version works with windows having the same title (using the ID instead).
Code:
Loop {
  WinGet, ActiveId, ID, A
  WinWaitNotActive, ahk_id %ActiveId%
  LastActiveId := ActiveId
}
Return

F5::WinActivate, ahk_id %LastActiveId%
