Help With Youtube Player Focus Script

16 Dec 2019, 06:59

Hi Everyone,
I need help in script for chrome that focus on youtube player when youtube page get open.
so that I could hit spacebar, right/left to navigation and Up/Down for volume control without having left mouse click on player itself.

I made a small script that partially works, spacebar, right, left to navigation
but no volume Up / Down control and its not automated.

Code: Select all


SetTitleMatchMode, 2      
#ifWinActive YouTube        
  !a:: SendInput, {Tab 3} 
  
  Return
#ifWinActive
	
I will be grateful for sharing script modification
much thanks in advance)

AHKStudent thanks for reply and script.
this script variation don't solve the volume focus

Code: Select all

  q:: SendInput, {Up} 
  w:: SendInput, {Down} 
because {Up} and {Down} aren't get focus to trigger a volume change

I made this simple script that get all controls right. but the down side is fixed hard codded screen resolution and its get triggered a bit slow because the necessary move delay.
and its not automated.

Code: Select all


  SetTitleMatchMode, 2
  #ifWinActive YouTube
    !a::
      MouseGetPos, x, y

      if(A_ScreenWidth == 1680)
          Click, 600, 400, 1
      else
          Click, 745, 420, 1

      Sleep, 200
      SendInput, {Space}
      MouseMove, x, y, 0
    Return
  #ifWinActive

up and down are the shortcuts to increase or decrease the volume on youtube, but maybe you have specific needs that demand you click the actual volume control

I guess I mislead you somehow or you didn't understood my situation. I absolutely agree when you saying

the problem is neither of Up/Down won't work until YouTube player will be focused by mouse clicking on video area.
so it doesn't matter which of key would trigger up/down until video player won't be focused none of them would work.
and I'm trying to get script that focus on the youtube video player with Up/Down keys working.
my partial solution as I posted above simulating the click, and it work right.
but because of some disadvantages I'm looking for more efficient script solution then mine.
