Different hotkeys for different winactives in one script

How to use same hotkeys for different windows, but for each window they have their own function in
one script?
Using identical hotkeys for different windows does work when I save the script as different files, but this is ineffective as I would have to save multiple files. I want one file, same hotkeys but different functions for each window.
The script I'm using now have been revised many times, and I have tried different methods but none work. The problem is that the script works just as it would without it. My latest version is below.
For instance, the hotkeys in sublime text also work in explorer.exe, while I only want it to work in sublime text.
Code: Select all
#If WinActive ("ahk_exe sublime_text.exe")
ins::{
home::}
#If WinActive("ahk_exe Explorer.EXE")
!1::send, {enter}
!2::SendInput, {f2}
!3::SendInput, !{left}
f1::send, {enter}
#If WinActive("ahk_exe dopus.exe")
!1::send, {enter}
!2::SendInput, !{left}
!3::SendInput, !{right}
f1::send, {enter}
#If WinActive("ahk_exe Everything.exe")
!1::send, {enter}
f1::send, {enter}
\:: Send, {down}
]::Send, {up}
#If

Code: Select all
#If WinActive("ahk_exe sublime_text.exe")
ins::{
home::}
#If
#If WinActive("ahk_exe Explorer.EXE")
!1::send, {enter}
!2::SendInput, {f2}
!3::SendInput, !{left}
f1::send, {enter}
#If
#If WinActive("ahk_exe dopus.exe")
!1::send, {enter}
!2::SendInput, !{left}
!3::SendInput, !{right}
f1::send, {enter}
#If
#If WinActive("ahk_exe Everything.exe")
!1::send, {enter}
f1::send, {enter}
\:: Send, {down}
]::Send, {up}
#If
Will this do it?
Edit. Removed redundant space character from initial WinActive()-function.

Thanks for helping! Unfortunately, that doesn't work. I tried adding #If after every #IfWinactive, but that didn't work. I tried it again right now just to be sure, and it doesn't help

There's a redundant space character in your first WinActive
Space()-function call. Why?

I noticed that too, highly frustrating. It isn't there anymore in the real script

Wait a second, it works now! How is that possible?
first I added #if myself. Then I copied paste your script instead.
Now it works.
What did you do differently apart from adding #if?

I removed that space character that I've 'adopted' with your initial code snippet without noticing it at that time. Mission accomplished.
Btw, you shouldn't label the thread as solved with highlighting the posting that contains the error. JM2€ents.

I guess you're right BoBo. Thanks!
