WinTitle "both" Topic is solved

[lexikos]

While fixing a bug (WinTitle ahk_exe allows any single character before it), something came to my attention.

There's a comment in the source code:

// Omit exactly one space or tab from the title criterion.

I had forgotten this rule (it had never mattered to me anyway):

Criteria beyond the first should be separated from the previous with exactly one space or tab

Before I found where that's documented, I read this:

An ahk_ criterion always consists of an ahk_ keyword and its criterion value, both separated by zero or more spaces or tabs.
Source: WinTitle & Last Found Window | AutoHotkey v2

When talking about a relation between two items, it is redundant to use the word "both" - and to me it sounds unnatural. It's not possible for only one to be separated by a space while the other isn't, unless the thing(s) they're being separated from aren't each other. Therefore, I tend to think that "both" implies a relation between each of the two items and a third unnamed item. In other words, it could be saying that the ahk_ keyword may be separated from the previous item by zero spaces, which is untrue. I suppose that simply removing "both" would be a sufficient fix.

I think it would be worthwhile for the ahk_ section to mention the rule for separating ahk_ from any previous criteria, even though it is documented under Multiple Criteria.

Thanks for reporting. I've changed it.
