AutoHotkey Community

Trying to set a series of #ifwinactives for a password manager. I got the code working well for all except the last entry which, because the site is stupid, requires a sleep between uid and pwd. When I run it, the log shows that it is sending the uid and pwd, but the site is getting the "uid{tab}" and then just sitting there... Is this my script? or something else?

If the hotkey is being triggered ok, then it's not related to IfWinActive as all that effects is what windows hotkeys are active for.

Perhaps you need something like this. BTW, you'll need to make sure uid and pw are set in the auto-execution section at the top of the script.

This isn't valid for a multiline hotkey, must start on a new line.

Thanks a bunch guys, I didn't know I would have to start it on a new line and that was it!

For future reference, how do I know when to do this? I imagine it applies to a set of scenarios, is it in the documentation somewhere?

Yeah, it's in the docs, under the Hotkeys part.

For hotkeys etc, they basically work in 2 modes:

1. When there is code on the same line after the :
   It will run the code after the : and then return automatically at the end of the line, so anything below it is essentially ignored.
   
2. When there is no code on the same line after the :
   It will run the line below and continue running until it the first 'return' it encounters.

So basically, if you only have 1 line to run, you can put it after the :, but if you need to run more than one line you need to put them all below the label/hotkey and also put a return so it knows when to stop.

There's also something similar for 'If (expression)' (in help) and similar statements where you can put one line underneath, or several using { and }. It can be a bit confusing at the start, hey.

Thanks a ton! I've actually written and modified a lot of scripts at this point and I still never knew why things were or weren't done that way!
