I always thought about Alt+F4, and why it's the only window function that has a straight hotkey in Windows. For that matter, why is it F4, instead of logically starting at F1? I'm sure it has some obscure historical explanation, but regardless, I made this script that makes the F2 and F3 keys press their respective buttons on the window. In the version of this I made for personal use, I also included Rajat's window shading script on F1, but I'm not sure if he'd let me release it, since I modified it to be compatible. If you can, Rajat, gimme a holler and I'll include your script in this thread. Anywho, here it is for now:
Alt+F2 = Minimize the active window
Alt+F3 = Maximize or restore the active window
Code:
!F2::
; This workaround may be needed for some windows.
; If the conventional method won't work, uncomment
; this section and replace EditPad with whatever
; applications don't work.
;
; SetKeyDelay, 0 ;This allows the workaround to be as fast as WinMinimize
;
; WinGetTitle, WinTitle, A
;
; If WinTitle = EditPad Lite
; {
; Send, {ALT down} {ALT up}n ;To clarify, this is Alt+Space
; return
; }
;
; Else
; {
WinMinimize, A
return
; }
!F3::
; This one should be pretty self-explanatory.
; It simply checks to see whether the window
; is maximized or normal, then acts accordingly.
WinGet, MinMaxState, MinMax, A
if MinMaxState = 1
{
WinRestore, A
return
}
if MinMaxState = 0
{
WinMaximize, A
return
}
else
{
return
}
I'm still working on the else {return} at the end; can someone tell me if that part is necessary? Would it dismiss it automatically if there was no active window?
