running script in a particular window.

[TurboCharged_fnc]

so i've tried to find it in other forums, but im not able to understandabt it. I even tried to read abt it in the ahk website, but i couldnt understand that either.

Code: Select all

#MaxThreadsPerHotkey 2
^y::
Toggle := !Toggle
loop
{
    If not Toggle
        break
    Send, .route 24
    Send, {enter}
    sleep, 4000
    Send, 4
    Send, {enter}
    sleep, 4500
}
return

Plz someone make it work in a specific window, i.e. Google Chrome

It depends on what you mean. Do you want the hotkey to be active only when Chrome is the active window, or do you want it to alway send those keystrokes to Chrome whether it is the active window or not? Use #IfWinActive for the former and ControlSend for the latter.

yes i want it to work when google chrome is not the active window, u cud say that i want it to run in the background on only google chrome.

i tried this but it only works when the window is active.

Code: Select all

#MaxThreadsPerHotkey 2
^y::
Toggle := !Toggle
loop
{
    If not Toggle
        break
    ControlSend, , .route 24 {enter} 4 {enter}, turbos-pokemon - Google Chrome
    SetKeyDelay, 800
}
return

Chrome apparently only acts on virtual key presses when it is the active window. Confirmed by sending ^t to try to open a new tab both when its window is active and inactive.

so it is not possible? do u know of any other browser. or maybe i should try discord app?

It's possible you are out of luck. I am not aware of any other browsers that respond better to this, although some may. From what I've seen, Edge and Firefox do not. You could try using other automation methods such as the Chrome.ahk library.

I don't use the Discord app, so I can't comment on that.
