The * means that the hotkey works with modifiers. If you don't want this to fire with modifiers, you can simply remove it. The tilde lets the hotkey sequence get through. If you don't want that to happen, then remove it. See Hotkeys.

@Bluerose555, can you confirm that the AHK tray icon remains present in your original test, even after hovering over it?

But the script reportedly stayed running during the original testing-- worth another look at whether that was really true. Incidentally, for the inquirer: in some cases, tray icons can remain visible even after their programs have ended . It's like a ghost, and it disappears when you hover over the ...

I have to say first, very impressive work from both ends; and second, I still do not understand this, because it was reported that the script had stayed running while it was originally being tested. If that is true (and it's worth double-checking), then I don't see why the changes here helped-- even...

You could try running just the following script:
Activate the window yourself. With the script icon visible in the system tray, press F3 to see what happens. If it doesn't work, try the other Send variants (F4 and F5).

I used AHK to map Shift to MButton in another program.

Thanks for answering the questions (nice formatting, too). I read all of this a few times; seems like it should work. I'm stumped. Others here may know the answer.

Can you give an example, and also post your script?

Interesting. It worked for me using a different program. Have you reassigned MButton to do something? What is MButton supposed to do? Does pressing the MButton work as it should? If you remap SHIFT to something else, does that work?

Some cool scripting there!

OK. I am understanding that you have a new and different problem at this stage.

What does Window Spy show you about the window title?

Does the script exit too soon, as you have ExitApp?

What is actually happening (can you describe?)?

OK. I wonder if it's because of how the emulator does its very job of emulating. I don't use BlueStacks, so perhaps someone else here can help.

Did you try the following?
It worked for me.

You can debug this by breaking it down into steps. See what the following script shows. app = %ProgramFiles%\Epic Games\UE_4.25\Engine\Binaries\Win64\UE4Editor.exe MsgBox, % "'" FileExist(app) "'" If it's blank or null, then what happens if you highlight the path line in your original script and typ...

Could see if it's in the tray or DetectHiddenWindows.

Please post your script.

The methods are similar except the noted difference about 0. The second method computes in advance the number of iterations, which is a known number based on the array size.

OK. I stand corrected.

Good! Revised.

To fix, change {2,} to +.

\r\t{2,} means CR followed by TAB that occurs at least twice. It changes all of that to a single space.

You can learn about RegEx if you like.

You're right.
