If needed could do as the posted code.

Just activating the browser window seems to be the simplest way.

keyes

From the browser want to run a single CMD command, but to avoid dealing with window focus issues the command is run minimized ( RunWait .. ,, Min ). Prefer one-liners if possible. But still need some feedback to know the command is running without stealing focus from the currently focused browser wi...

I click the mouse right button for context menus (default) and for selecting between active processes (ShiftAltTab/AltTab), but when the browser is active it must also allow a plugin to activate when holding the mouse right button. The code below works for everything else (so far), but can't activat...

The issue was the use of If SubStr(Clipboard, 1, 10) = "..." at the beginning of the section, not realizing the clipboard data is modified, instead of simply evaluating a conditional statement.

Thanks

Don't have the administrator option on the .ahk file, but set the AutoHotkey executable to run with admin privileges (got UAC confirmation window).

Same results, made no difference.

Code worked fine for years, moving focus from address bar to the first text field in a web page, but for some reason is no longer working with Firefox ESR 78.15.0. Manually entering F6 and then Tab works, but not when doing the same via Autohokey code. Focus is on the address bar and is supposed to ...

Edited the post to mention the use of Task Manager and not relying on the System Tray icon.

That would partially explain it since the code uses #SingleInstance force.

EDIT: The other thing is that AHK is not running with admin priviledges.

Thanks

The part I'm not mistaken is that after changing code and the code not working as expected, I've terminated the single instance and ran a new one (besides refreshing several times). It has happened more times than I could justify as it's just my mistake. Next time will pay attention to the task mana...

I've noticed this happening before, whenever I change code it takes awhile for the new code to update properly. It doesn't matter if I click "Reload This Script" or quit then run the script again. Now it's not doing it anymore and the computer wasn't rebooted. With AHK not all changes are reflected ...

When I type special characters using (Alt+_) 1 or 2 in the numeric keypad the AHK History window opens. Checked the code several times and there's no reason for the AHK History window to open when pressing Alt+1 or Alt+2 using the numeric keypad. KeyHistory is only used once like this: !3::KeyHistor...

Yes, in this case the hotkey executes that one line of code and the .reg file consists of one line, too (to fix a silly Windows 10 bug, probably to force people to upgrade). If I notice any issues, I'll use RunWait.

keyes

Thanks for the help. This is working now, no other changes, but I think I tried this before. Sometimes with AHK I need to stop and continue another time for things to work/update. Run cmd.exe /c reg import "C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey\file.reg" I verified the registry and it is changing the value (n...

keyes

No difference. I can enter the command manually and execute it, but from AHK nothing is happening, except that the CMD window opens. Using cmd.exe /k has the same effect. NumPadDot::Run cmd.exe /k " reg import ""C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey\file.reg"" " When using the command manually, the response i...

keyes

The CMD window opens, but nothing happens.

Code: Select all

NumPadDot::Run %ComSpec% "reg import "C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey\file.reg""

I was using an extra folder after folder "Themes" named "TranscodedWallpaper" that didn't exist.

This works, too:

Code: Select all

FileMove %A_AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\TranscodedWallpaper, %A_AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\TranscodedWallpaper.old

Thanks for the help!

keyes

The first code works.

Is it because of the long path? Can you use one line to do the same?

The second code shows #A# in the MsgBox window.

keyes

FileMove doesn't rename the TranscodedWallpaper file (a .jpg without extension) and doesn't give an error (error level 0). Trying to use CMD to bypass any UAC issues gives an error about not finding the path. FileMove %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\TranscodedWallpaper\Transco...

keyes

Because Windows 10 is constantly preventing me from changing the wallpaper, wanted a hotkey to rename the file TranscodedWallper (no .jpg extension), but this is not possible with FileMove. I also don't want to give admin rights to the whole script so thought of using Run *RunAs cmd.exe /c ren ... B...

keyes

Looking for the equivalent AHK code to do the same so I can use "If !WinActive(ahk_exe Firefox)".

Although, the issue is that it conflicts with the browser's right-click, which is used by gestures addon.

keyes

It doesn't work when using ShiftAltTab, but works for MsgBox.

Code: Select all

#IfWinNotActive, ahk_exe Firefox.exe
  ~RButton & WheelUp::ShiftAltTab
#IfWinNotActive

As soon as I change MsgBox for ShiftAltTab it no longer works.
