Remapped keys don't work

[KilliK]

Hello.
I am trying to remap two keys with the Hotkey command while Chrome is active, so that one key will trigger the other which will trigger an event.
But I encountered a peculiar problem.

This works:

Code: Select all

Hotkey, F1, test1, on
Hotkey, F3, test2, on
Return

test1:
Send {F3}
Return

test2:
msgbox Hello
Return

But this doesn't work:

Code: Select all

SetTitleMatchMode, 2
#if WinActive("ahk_exe chrome.exe") 

Hotkey, F1, test1, on
Hotkey, F3, test2, on
Return

test1:
Send {F3}
Return

test2:
msgbox Hello
Return

F1 will be remapped to F3, but F3 wont trigger the msgbox. But it will work as an F3 key since Chrome's search bar appears when I press F1.
I doubled checked and Chrome is active and its wintitle is correct. if I remove the entire #if condition, the remap will work and the msgbox will appear. But with it, it wont.

What exactly causes this and how I can fix it?

Try adding an #if just before the first Return.

[just me]

Code: Select all

#if WinActive("ahk_exe chrome.exe")

doesn't affect the Hotkey command.

Code: Select all

SetTitleMatchMode, 2
; #if WinActive("ahk_exe chrome.exe")
Hotkey, IfWinActive, ahk_exe chrome.exe
Hotkey, F1, test1, on
Hotkey, F3, test2, on
Hotkey, IfWinActive
Return
test1:
Send {F3}
Return
test2:
msgbox Hello
Return

?

Hello.
I tried your suggestions but they didnt work.
F3 is still sent normally instead of triggering the event, if winactive is set. Without it, F3 triggers the msgbox as it is supposed to do.
is this intended behavior, a bug, or the code is missing something?

hm, looks like it is intended behavior:
