Thanks to Chris for adding functions!
Below is some of the code I'm using in my AutoHotkey.ini. I think organizing the code this way makes it very readable and easily adjustable for other users' purposes. On top are some hotkeys which rely on code later in the file. The main thing I'm demonstrating here is the function
RunRestoreHideApp which does like it says: runs an app that doesn' t already have an instance, barring that, finds the instance and either activates it, or if already active, minimizes it. Note the function returns what it actually did to the app. My #s macro launches a "sponsor-ware" app, then kills the nag message.
Code:
#g::RunRestoreHideApp("Microsoft Visual","C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe") ; goto RunRestoreVS
#a::RunRestoreHideApp2("Microsoft Outlook","Outlook","Microsoft Office Outlook")
^!a::goto HideAIM
#z:: run, "c:\Program Files\Autohotkey\fw", "c:\Program Files\Autohotkey"
^!n::RunRestoreHideApp("Notepad","Notepad")
#s::
if RunRestoreHideApp("Yahoo! All-Seeing Eye","C:\Program Files\The All-Seeing Eye\eye.exe") = ran
