hello everybody !

I have a problem.

I want use one touch of my keyboard to make a double hotkey :


If I push on CONTROL+q,
Send F11
Wait for 1 seconde
Close the present application
Close de autohotkey script

I tried this :

Well, you don't have anything in your hotkey that would close the current application. All I see is something to send F11 (that part works fine, right?), and ExitApp to close the AutoHotkey script.

To close the active window, try using WinClose, A, like this:

Thank you but it does not work !

In fact, Ctrl Q is a intern hotkey in Ableton Live. I don't need Winclose,A .

I don't understand

Hope I can help clarify things a bit...

- By default, once AutoHotKey intercepts Ctrl Q, it will not be sent to Ableton Live. In other words, Ableton Live will not know that you pressed Ctrl Q.
- ExitApp quits your AutoHotKey script, not Ableton Live.
- WinClose,A is the command to close Ableton Live.
- Your script will keep running if you use Return instead of ExitApp at the end.

Actually, quicktest, he has the tilde (~) prefix on it, so it will go through to Ableton. Also, I believe he wanted to exit the script as well.

vstmusic, could you explain what exactly doesn't work about it? What is the F11 key supposed to do, and what actually happens?

Guess I only muddled things further... sorry vst & jonny.

By coincidence, I just was looking for the command to pass the hotkey to application. Learning something new at every post.
