Issue With Quick Start Tutorial

08 Jan 2018, 00:11

REFERENCE:
2 - Hotkeys & Hotstrings
b. Window specific hotkeys/hotstrings

PROBLEMATIC CODE:

Code: Select all

; Notepad
#IfWinActive untitled - Notepad
!q::
   MsgBox, You pressed Alt and Q in Notepad.
Return
#IfWinActive

; Any window that isn't Untitled - Notepad
!q::
   MsgBox, You pressed Alt and Q in any window.
Return
ISSUE:
#IfWinActive untitled - Notepad
Doesn't recognize the window due to the capitalization issue. Tested and confirmed. May be confusing for new comers, assuming they actually read it lol.

It will not work on non English OS anyway. Something like ahk_class Notepad might be more appropriate.

Cheers.

Makes since. I presume they didn't use ahk_class because this is very early into the quick-start tutorial.

It will work just fine with a file named "untitled". ;)

I presume by "they" you mean the author of the tutorial, who is mentioned in its name at the top.

ahk_class is used in the very next example, with no explanation.
