how do I prevent #ifwinexist from disabling other hotkeys Topic is solved

[Mipha]

Code: Select all

Hotkey, % "w", testkeys
return

testkeys:
msgbox a
return

#ifwinactive, test
return

With this script. Pressing W does not activate the testkeys part.
Is there away to change this up so that the hotkey works without removing the hotkey, % "w", testkeys part and the #ifwinactive part?

use hotkey if,

To turn off context sensitivity (that is, to make subsequently-created hotkeys work in all windows), specify any If sub-command but omit the parameters. For example: Hotkey, If or Hotkey, IfWinActive.
If "Hotkey If" is never used by a script, the bottommost use of any #If or #IfWin directive (if any) will be in effect for the Hotkey command.

use hotkey if,

Code: Select all

Hotkey, % "w", testkeys
return

testkeys:
msgbox a
return

hotkey, ifwinactive, test
return

This works perfectly. Thank you!

It should be,

Code: Select all

hotkey if
Hotkey, % "w", testkeys
return

testkeys:
msgbox a
return

#ifwinactive, test
; my hotkeys for window "test"

The line you replaced #ifwinactive, test with will never be executed and has no effect on the script.

After a bit more testing, that's what I noticed too. In the end I opted for

Code: Select all

Hotkey, % "w", testkeys
return

testkeys:
msgbox a
return

#ifwinactive, test
return
#ifwinactive ;<this has been added

which worked. But your solution seems good too.

Yes that is ok too, but you always have to remember to keep the #if at the bottom if you add code to your script.

Cheers.
