How can I disable my hotkey when in text mode? I mean, if I set "A" to do something, I don't want it to work when I'm writting a text, because otherwise I cannot write any word with the "A" letter. Maybe there's a way I can tell my script to disable the hotkey when the mouse pointer is not in the pointer format...?

Hi, Guest (a nice nick would be nice!),
try something like this and play around with it

Sorry that doesn't work.

My hot key does:

ç::
^w
winclose, a

but if I open the notepd, I cannot write the ç key without activating the hotkey.

Then try the command
#IfWinNotactive,
Look for it in the help-file.

But... if notepad is active, the hotkey should close it, but not if the mouse pointer is in the text area. Same with explorer. If I click on the url field, the hotkey should not close the programa. Got it?
