Hi,

the common way to make conditional Hotkey is this:

Code:

Hotkey::
  ifWinActive, Program 1
  {
      do something
  }
  ifWinActive, Program 2
  {
      do something
  }
return


is it possible to implement something like this?

Code:

ifWinActive, Programm 1
{
   HotkeyA::Send, bla
   HotkeyB::Send, blub
}
ifWinActive, Programm 2
{
   HotkeyA::Send, blibb
   HotkeyB::Send, blaebb
}


That could be used for example to disable a lot of keys for only one application.

Code:

ifWinActive, Opera
{
  *RWin::
  *LWin::
  *^ESC::
  *!F4::
  *!Tab::
  return 
}


maybe a different, more logical syntax could be used. (context-blocks)

Something like this is already possible, avoiding the use of putting context-sensitive code within every single hotkey. I remember doing this before, unfortunately I don't have the exact original code. I'll try to reproduce it from memory, but this is untested:

Code:
**auto-execute section**
; This loop if infinite, running until
; the script exits.
loop
{
WinWaitActive, Opera
Hotkey,RWin,on
Hotkey,LWin,on
Hotkey,^ESC,on
Hotkey,!F4,on
Hotkey,!Tab,on
WinWaitNotActive, Opera
Hotkey,RWin,off
Hotkey,LWin,off
Hotkey,^ESC,off
Hotkey,!F4,off
Hotkey,!Tab,off
}

  *RWin::
  *LWin::
  *^ESC::
  *!F4::
  *!Tab::
  return

**rest of script**


I hope it works! Razz

Tekl, it's a good idea but the way the program is structured now it would be hard to do. This is because labels (such as hotkeys) are recognized at an earlier stage in the loading process, before the script starts executing. And labels must be unique to prevent ambiguity when using Gosub.

Here is another topic that provides a way similar to jonny's to have context-sensitive hotkeys without having to put IF-statements in every hotkey: http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=591
