I want to remap = button only when one application is activated. But it seems not working. It remaps for all applications.

Here is my code:


So, what's wrong with my code?

Thanks!

I did set the match mode at the beginning.

SetTitleMatchMode 2 ;A window's title can contain WinTitle anywhere inside it to be a match.

BTW, if the match mode is not set, it should always send =, right? But it is on the contrary, it never sends =.

very weird...

this works for me:

#IfWinActive, ahk_group esctoclose
ESC::!F4

instead of the group you can use window title or ahk_class...

I am not sure how this works.

Can you post the code for the same function that I want to do?

#IfWinActive, ahk_class Notepad
$=::Send, abc


this works.

Whackster is right. What you did was to map the '$' unconditionally and then ask whether the window was active with your IfWin command. In contrast, his directive asks whether the window is active in the remapping itself.

Thanks, it works.
BTW, ahk_class is not necessary.

#IfWinActive, Notepad
works fine too.

Just out of curiosity, why my code in the first post is not working?

That is because the "Send =" is interpreted as "assign an empty string to the variable 'Send'"

Putting a comma after the Send command would have made it work correctly (although you'd also need SetTitleMatchMode 2 for the window title to match).
