Necessary using "Return" in command starting "#IfWinActive" and ending "#IfWinActive"?

Hi,

I'd appreciate your help.
In the script below, is it necessary using "Return" if there is command starting with "#IfWinActive" and ending "#IfWinActive"?
Actually, my full script has hundreds of lines with this kind of syntax for many different programs shortcuts customization.
Or it would be redundant (no need) since the "#if" commands already work as "Return", doesn't allowing the script going ahead?

Thank you!

Code: Select all

;Add-ons
#IfWinActive, ahk_exe thunderbird.exe
^+l::
send, !{t}
Sleep 50
Send, {down 3}{right}
Return
#IfWinActive

The returns are for your hotkeys and not the #IF section

You can drop the second #IFWinactive

Code: Select all

#IfWinActive, ahk_exe thunderbird.exe    ; Start #IF section 

^+l::
send, !{t}
Sleep 50
Send, {down 3}{right}
Return

^+k::
send, !{t}
Sleep 50
Send, {down}{enter}
Return

#If  ; Exit #If section

Many thanks for the teachings @Hellbent!!!

By the way, even for single line commands, do I need to use "return"?
In the example below (a) is without return, and (b) with return because of multiple lines with send commands.

Code: Select all

#IfWinActive, ahk_exe WINWORD.EXE

;a)HIGHLIGHT
!1::send, ^!h 

;b)Select Paragraph
!2::
send, ^{up}
send, ^+{down}
Return

Thanks!

No return is needed for your single line hotkey. Likewise for hotstrings.
