 |
|
For application-specific scripts, it would be nice to have a global setting which makes all Hotkeys only work if the specified window is currently active.
As far as I can tell, the only way to do this at present is to check IfWinActive / IfWinNotActive in each hotkey routine. For scripts with a lot of hotkeys, this accounts for substantial bulk in the source script.
By the way, love the software! |

There's another easy way to do it.
| Code: | ;At the top of the script:
SetTimer, SuspendHotkeys, 50
... whatever else
return
SuspendHotkeys:
IfWinActive, ahk_class Notepad
Suspend, Off
else
Suspend, On
return |
It uses the ahk_class method to more easily detect which type of app is active (which would be useful if the title varies). In addition, you could make it more selective by using Suspend, Permit as the first line of any hotkey you want to be exempt from the rule. You can also use the Hotkey command to disable/enable only a specific set of hotkeys. |
