Fixed.

Hallo,
always take the first step before the second! Before you start a longer script, test if Autohotkey can distinguish your two tabs.
Try:

Code: Select all

q::
WinGet, GotaPID, List, ahk_exe javaw.exe
Loop,% GotaPID
	MsgBox,% "GotaPID" A_Index ": " GotaPID%A_Index%
Return

Yes! They both have different PIDs.

Then try:

Code: Select all

#Warn
SetTitleMatchMode, 2
End::ExitApp
q::
Hotkey, *~t, Toggle
WinGet, GotaPID, List, ahk_exe javaw.exe
Return
*~t::
SetKeyDelay, 1
IF WinActive("ahk_pid " GotaPID1)
	ControlSend, , t, ahk_pid %GotaPID2%
Else
	ControlSend, , t, ahk_pid %GotaPID1%
sleep 10
return

q::
Hotkey, *~$t, Toggle
WinGet, GotaPID, List, ahk_exe javaw.exe
Return
*~$t::
SetKeyDelay, 1
ControlSend, , t, ahk_pid %GotaPID1%
ControlSend, , t, ahk_pid %GotaPID2%
sleep 10
return

This code isn't sending any key in any of those tabs.

Here this works with two Notepad windows:

Code: Select all

q:: ;opens 2 Notepad windows side by side 
Loop, 2
{
	Run, Notepad.exe
	Sleep, 500
	WinMove, A,,% 500 * (A_Index-1),0 ,500, 500
}
Return
~w:: ;writes w each also in the other Notepad window
WinGet, ID, List, ahk_exe Notepad.exe
; ToolTip,% ID1 " > " ID2
IF WinActive("ahk_id " ID1)
	ControlSend,, w, ahk_id %ID2%
Else
	ControlSend,, w, ahk_id %ID1%
Return

or:

Code: Select all

Loop, 2
{ ;opens 2 Notepad windows side by side
	Run, Notepad.exe
	Sleep, 500
	WinMove, A,,% 500 * (A_Index-1),0 ,500, 500
}
WinGet, ID, List, ahk_exe Notepad.exe
Loop
{ ;writes also in the other Notepad window
	Input, Key, VCL1
	IF WinActive("ahk_id " ID1)
		ControlSend,, {%Key%}, ahk_id %ID2%
	Else
		ControlSend,, {%Key%}, ahk_id %ID1%
}
Return
