I just noticed you can use a hotkey as often as you want to open a program or website, but running a script works only once. If I want it to run again, I have to reload the script. What is a way around this?

Put #SingleInstance off in your script.

Thanks!!!

Uh?
Titan's advice allows to have the same script running in several instances at once. If that's what you want, fine.
If you defined a hotkey, the script should stay in memory, waiting other hotkey presses. Unless you wrote ExitApp instead of Return...

I'm not sure anymore now what works for me and what doesn't, but I'll get back to you if I find out.

I think Jiltdijk has a script file something like:

[Jiltdijk]

Here's an example:

I have this in my script:

#!i::
IfWinExist Movie Database
{
WinActivate
}
else
{
Run www.imdb.com
}
WinWaitActive Movie Database
Return

If I reload it, it will run once. After that, there's no response to the shortkey #!i. It doesn't matter if the imdb window still exists or not.

Try this-

How can I set titlematchmode for all the scripts in the text file? I already had it at the beginning and through guest's comment I found out I have to put it in every little script AFTER the shortkey (#!i in this case)

[PhiLho]

No, just put it before the first hotkey, and it will work for all scripts inside the file.
