Looking for a script to center active window in Windows 11

[yassin]

Hello!

This is my first time using AutoHotKey and I'm looking for a script to make a keyboard shortcut to center active window. And how to make it autostart with Windows. I'm on Windows 11.

Thanks!

Use WinGetPos to determine the size of the window (specifying A for the WinTitle parameter to select the active window), then use A_ScreenWidth, A_ScreenHeight, and the appropriate math to determine where you need to move its upper-left corner using WinMove.

See Hotkeys for how to make a keyboard shortcut to trigger the code. To have the script launch with windows, right click on the script file and create a file shortcut, then move that shortcut to the Windows Startup folder.

Thank you!

Here's the code that I ended up using.

Code: Select all

#c::
SysGet Mon,MonitorWorkArea
WinGetPos ,,,wW,wH,A
WinMove A,,(MonRight-wW)/2,(MonBottom-wH)/2
Return

Do you know why this doesn't work in Windows 10?

It does work in Windows 10. If it doesn’t work for you, there are other reasons, such as the particular window you are trying to use or if you have multiple monitors or you didn’t press the correct hotkey (Win+C).

I had to add #SingleInstance,force.

Thank you & Happy New Year!
