I use SendMessage to send virtual keys to PotPlayer window while in background. This is the only way I can send key strokes to PotPlayer window (I tried ControlSend, and it didn't work). I can send single key strokes easily (e.g. space key like shown below): SendMessage, 0x0400, 0x5010,0x20,, ahk_cl...

Hello evilC,
Is it possible to declare a hotkey limited to specific window in order not to conflict with other hotkeys already declared for other windows?
Thank you.
Update:
I've solved it. Kindly check this.

Re: notepad get/set path (get/set text file path)
I have tested it on Windows 10 x64, unfortunately it's not working.
It doesn't get the file path, just an empty string.
