I know I ask for too much, but...
Is it possible to have a derivative fuctionnality of the last improvement, to allow mouse and keyboard remapping for specific applications ?

Suggested syntax :
a::b[, [!]AppName]

what is between the square brackets (so [, [!]AppName]) is optionnal
and ! is optionnal too and means "not"
", AppName" to specify the concerned app

so for example :

a::b, Notepad would replace a by b only in notepad and
a::b, !Notepad would replace a by b in all applications except Notepad
I think it would be a very good improvement.

Edit : Oh !!! And let us be insane!!!

Why not hotkeys and hotstrings specifics to certain apps ?

Thanks
Edit : a lot !!!!

Context senstive hotkeys and hotstrings have been on the to-do list a long time so should happen someday. Thanks for the syntax ideas. Edit: Easier context-sensitivity is now available via #IfWinActive/Exist.

In the meantime, you can already do context sensitive remappings as shown in the following working example. It puts the remapping in effect only within Notepad:

Thanks to take my proposition in account.

I already use an application dependant remapping code :


But it would be nice if inbuilt in AHK. But I think that, as it can be done by an other way, it isn't an emergency...
Thanks for your interesting code.
