Can AutoHotKey send looped input to a non-active window?
For a simple example, let's say we open 2 Notepad files. I want the first file to be continually filled with the letter "A" while I work in the second file. The Windows focus is on the second window. Can AutoHotKey still write data into the window which doesn't have focus?
I'm afraid I already know the answer but thought I'd ask! |

Which means nothing, as to trigger a game that way is something completely different.  |

I did see that but wasn't sure it was the same issue.
Yes, BoBo, my interest is for use in a 2-boxing game situation. For example if I was boxing a tank and a healer in two instances on one PC, if the tank is the active window, can AHK keep the healer in the non-active instance/window spamming a heal spell while I'm actively playing the tank?
I know there are add-on programs to automate this process but those get broken with every patch and it would be so much easier just to use a utility like AHK. |
