Hello,
I have following script:

Code:
SetTitleMatchMode,2

msgbox, I am message 1

#IfWinActive, Opera
{
   ^1::
   {
      msgbox, I am Opera
      return
   }
}

msgbox, I am message 2

#IfWinActive, Total
{
   ^1::
   {
      msgbox, I am Total
      return
   }
}

msgbox, I am message 3

^y::
{
   msgbox, I am hotkey ^y
   return
}


Questions:
1) Why does not appear message 2 and 3 after opening/starting the script?
2) The hotkey "^y" is only accessible within the programme with the title "Total" -- however it was defined after "#IfWinActive, Total". What is the reason?
3) So, how it is possible to define hotkeys independent of the active window?

Thanks!
Carlos

Answer:

2) The HOtkey is defined after the #IfWinActive directive. If it is independant of the "Total" window it needs to be put before #IfWinActive.

3) See above.

So the brackets are useless and don't limit the things within the brackets to the shortcut?

It's a strange behaviour, isn't it?

Ok, I change the order.



thanks for your explanation
Carlos

If you could explain what you are using this script for in context, then I might be able to suggest a better method of coding for it.

#IfWinActive works not how you think it works.
Here's what you need.
Code:
SetTitleMatchMode,2

msgbox, I am message 1
msgbox, I am message 2
msgbox, I am message 3

#IfWinActive, Opera
^1::msgbox, I am Opera

#IfWinActive, Total
^1::msgbox, I am Total

#IfWinActive
^y::msgbox, I am hotkey ^y

RTFM

the code was just for understanding these elements and the behaviour of AHK-scripts vs. e.g. Javascripts
