When i use the following code to open rightclick menu and select edit, it wont make the opened file window active like it does if i manually press E

Code:
#IfWinActive ahk_class ExploreWClass
^LButton::
#IfWinActive
Send {Click}{AppsKey}{E}
return


Does any 1 know what im missing here?
(tried delay already)

If i dont {Click}, it doesnt not open the specific file's Appskey menu that is under the mouse pointer, it opens the active things´s menu.

It works for me if I add:
Code:
#IfWinActive ahk_class CabinetWClass
^LButton::
The window class depends on how Explorer was launched.

Im using this code:
Code:
if WinActive("ahk_class ExploreWClass") or WinActive("ahk_class CabinetWClass")
^LButton::
Send {Click}{AppsKey}{E}
return


It opens the desired file in TextPad as wanted, but it wont bring it to front after opening like it does if its Notepad.

Thats, not the Click. Sorry if i didnt make myself clear..

I'm not sure what your asking for...
Code:
#IfWinActive ahk_class CabinetWClass
^$LButton::Goto, CtrlClik
#IfWinActive ahk_class ExploreWClass
^$LButton::Goto, CtrlClik
#IfWinActive

CtrlClik:
Send {Click}{AppsKey}
Loop 19
{
   SendPlay {down}
   StatusBarGetText, opv , 1, A
   If InStr(opv, "edit") != 1
      continue
   send {enter}
   break
}
If InStr(opv, "edit") != 1
   Send {esc}
return

I suppose that code will send Click, Appskey then keep pressing Down key until it finds `edit` to press enter 19 times. So i tried this variation to ty the {enter} command instead:

Code:
if WinActive("ahk_class ExploreWClass") or WinActive("ahk_class CabinetWClass")
^LButton::
SendPlay {Click}{AppsKey}{Down 3}{Enter}
return


and the window still opens in the bottom, it wont come to front as my active window, the way i want it to be.

I think see the problem. It's because is involves holding Ctrl, which will do that.

Try one of there varients:
Code:
^LButton::
#IfWinActive
KeyWait Ctrl ;wait for Ctrl to be released
Send {Click}{AppsKey}{E}
return

Code:
^LButton::
#IfWinActive
Send {Ctrl Up}{Click}{AppsKey}{E} ;release Ctrl automatically
return

Code:
!LButton:: ;Use Alt instead.
#IfWinActive
Send {Click}{AppsKey}{E}
return

I tested them a little more and you're right. Well, they sometimes work, but they have poor reliability.

I have the same problem as bvaroni. Namely, after sending {AppsKey}, the next key in not accepted and I have to press in manually. Here is my code:
Code:
#l::Send,^a{AppsKey}{h}


The "Select All" works and the right-click menu appears but the "h" key is not accepted. I tried Sleep and other kinds of delay but none worked. Any ideas?
