Post subject: Esc key remapping

Posted: July 30th, 2009, 3:24 am

I have changed the Esc so that when in firefox it will close the current tab, but some applications like video games use the Esc key to exit the game and i don't know how to set it up like that. The code that i have is below.

Code:

Esc::
SetTitleMatchMode, 2
IfWinActive, Mozilla Firefox
   Send, {Ctrl Down}{w}{Ctrl Up}
Else
   Send, {Escape}
return

#IfWinActive / #IfWinExist:

Quote:

Creates context-sensitive hotkeys and hotstrings. Such hotkeys perform a different action (or none at all) depending on the type of window that is active or exists.

Hence:

Code:

SetTitleMatchMode, 2

#IfWinActive, Mozilla Firefox
Esc:: Send, {Ctrl Down}{w}{Ctrl Up}
#IfWinActive

should do what you want

I thought it works, but it doesn't. It only works when it is an empty tab. It won't work when i have a site open.

Probably because the window title is changed from simply Mozilla Firefox to some text - Mozilla Firefox.

Have you put SetTitleMatchMode, 2 in the autoexecute (top) section of your script?
If that does not work, try SetTitleMatchMode, Regex. Hopefully, it should solve the issue.
