AutoHotkey Community

I have recently started using emacs, and have found that most of my ahk shortcuts conflict with the emacs keys.

Is there a way for me to specify for all of my commands to be ignored while in emacs, even better if there was a way for me to specify a few to still include, but without having to put #IfWinNotActive's around every command - i tried putting them after the autoload section and at the end and that didn't work.

Thanks

you dont have to put #IfWinNotActive's around every command...

just do:



That way you effectively make ALL the hotkeys surrounded by that directive only available when emacs is not active... to keep the others active even when EMACS is on, then just put them outside that directive.

I had tried that originally - so I had another look and realised the problem - it seems to be because I am nesting the IfWinActive statements. Is there any way around that?


Ideally a better solution, but if worst comes to worst how could I combine calls, like my existing:


eg


Because I don't want any of the commands running w/ emacs.

Worst case, i would create separate #ifwinnotactives, but that would mean that for sections where there is already a #statement, it would still execute in emacs.

So any ideas? Thanks again for the help

if I understand correctly you already have those hotkeys binded to an #IfWinActive statement right?
So do they only run on a specific program?

if they do, then you dont need to exclude them from EMACS because they only run on the other program

I think you are confusing something here. Can you post your code so I can see exactly what you have? because my solution should work as I posted it.

Read and try to understand the following code:

Woops - yes that is correct, they will only run in that specific program.

However, the main issue that I was describing is just that the statements can't be nested - so i cant have


So i suppose there is no issue, as i can just separate the ifwinactive statements, however I was just wondering if it was possible to automatically exclude the whole thing without adding those unnecessary bits into my code.


So in essence - thank you very much for your help - it works fine now, and if there is a way to get it all with only 2 lines of code that would be an awesome bonus [/code]

I am still not sure what exactly you want to achieve, but yes you are right, you cannot nest #IfWin directives.

If you want to solve your problem in 1 line you can try making the first line of your script "#IfWinNotActive, EMACS TITLE".

The other #IfWin directive is optional. In other words, if you want to make all your hotkeys obey only one rule, then only use 1 #IfWin directive, if you want them to be separated (some work in a specific window, other are triggered no matter where) then you can use several #IfWinActive, TITLE followed by the closing #IfWinActive's to separate the hotkeys for different rules.

Not sure if I am over-complicating my explanation but im kind of not understanding your goal either. xD

thats cool, thanks for the help
Appreciate it
