I'm trying to write a script that will hide the last open window at the press of a hotkey, and then open it at the press of a different hotkey.

Code:

^!a::
WinHide
^!b::
WinShow
Exit


this should work, shouldn't it?

but for some reason it doesn't.

could someone please help?

By last open window do you mean previous window, or active window?

This will hide the previous window:

Code:
![:: ; hide
hwnd := WinActive("A")
; comment out this loop if you want to hide/show the active window
Loop
{
   hwnd := DllCall( "GetWindow",uint,hwnd,int,3 ) ; 3 = GW_HWNDPREV
   SetFormat,integer,hex
   hwnd += 0
   SetFormat,integer,d
   if (DllCall("IsWindowVisible",uint,hwnd) = 1)
   break
}
WinHide, ahk_id %hwnd%
return

!]:: ; show
WinShow, ahk_id %hwnd%
return
