Using mouse buttons to Open, Close and Cycle tabs in Chrome Topic is solved

[iamMG]

I made the following script to 'close tab', 'reopen closed tab' and 'cycle through tabs' in Chrome using only left, right mouse buttons and scroll wheel.
The close tab script works fine. But, after the other two scripts are executed, right click menu pops up. I still want to be able to use the right click menu otherwise, of course, but not while executing this script. Any help with this is appreciated.

Code: Select all

	#IfWinActive ahk_class Chrome_WidgetWin_1 		; Chrome
	; CLOSE TAB
	~LButton & RButton::Send, ^w

	; REOPEN CLOSED TAB
	~RButton & ~LButton::Send, ^+t

	; CYCLE THROUGH TABS
	;RButton::click right
	~RButton & WheelUp::Send ^{PgUp}
	~RButton & WheelDown::Send ^{PgDn}

Someone please help.

Hi,

You can write the function as follows.

Code: Select all

~RButton & WheelUp::
Send ^{PgUp}
RButton::return

So when the right mousebutton and the scrollwheel up is used, shift+ctrl+t is being pressed, AND because of pressing the right mousebutton, the script will end when the right mousebutton will be released.

EDIT: Your right mousebutton won't work untill you end the script!

Found a solution for not disabling your right mousebutton for ever with the help of this post https://www.reddit.com/r/AutoHotkey/comments/4cr02b/disable_right_click_temporary/

Code: Select all

RButton & WheelUp::
	Send ^{PgUp}
return
RButton Up::
    Click Right
Return

Thanks for the reply. But this doesn't seem to work. And it is behaving the same way earlier script was behaving. Tab changes but when I lift the Right mouse button, context menu pops up.

Strange, are you sure you have the right script because it works for me.

Code: Select all

RButton & WheelUp:: Send ^{PgUp}
RButton & WheelDown:: Send ^{PgDn}	
RButton Up:: Click Right

This is everything you need. Make sure to leave the ~ out, if you leave it in it won't work.

Try also

Code: Select all

~RButton & WheelUp:: 
	NoContextMenu := true
	Send ^{PgUp}
return

~RButton & WheelDown::
	NoContextMenu := true
	Send ^{PgDn}
return

#If (NoContextMenu)

	~*RButton Up:: 
		Send {Esc}
		NoContextMenu := false
	return

#If

Thanks @AviationGuy for that. I was using the script specifically for Chrome but it wasn't working.

Code: Select all

#IfWinActive ahk_class Chrome_WidgetWin_1 
; CHANGE TABS
RButton & WheelUp:: Send ^{PgUp}
RButton & WheelDown:: Send ^{PgDn}	
RButton Up:: Click Right

I removed the if condition and used globally, now it works flawlessly!

Also, thank you GEV for your suggestion. However it doesn't work. Context menu is showing up.
