Code: Select all

#NoEnv ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
; #Warn ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.
SendMode Input ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir% ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.
#SingleInstance force ;Skips the dialog box and replaces the old instance automatically, which is similar in effect to the Reload command.

SysGet, VirtualScreenWidth, 78
SysGet, VirtualScreenHeight, 79
rwidth := VirtualScreenWidth-5
rhight := VirtualScreenHeight-5
lWidth := 5
WinTitle = A

F10::
; The following function centers the specified window on the right side of the screen:

WinGetPos,,, Width, Height, %WinTitle%

WinMove , %WinTitle%,, lWidth,(rhight/2)-(Height/2)

Return
F11::
; The following function centers the specified window on the center of the screen:

WinGetPos,,, Width, Height, %WinTitle%

WinMove , %WinTitle%,, (A_ScreenWidth/2)-(Width/2), (A_ScreenHeight/2)-(Height/2)

Return
F12::
; The following function centers the specified window on the left side of the screen:

WinGetPos,,, Width, Height, %WinTitle%

WinMove , %WinTitle%,, rwidth-width,(rhight/2)-(Height/2)

Hi Bruce, the idea of the [code][/code] tags is actually to put the code between them, so that the codebox does the syntax highlighting for you (among other things). Like this :

Code: Select all

#NoEnv ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
; #Warn ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.
SendMode Input ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir% ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.
#SingleInstance force ;Skips the dialog box and replaces the old instance automatically, which is similar in effect to the Reload command.

SysGet, VirtualScreenWidth, 78
SysGet, VirtualScreenHeight, 79
rwidth := VirtualScreenWidth-5
rhight := VirtualScreenHeight-5
lWidth := 5
WinTitle = A

F10::
; The following function centers the specified window on the right side of the screen:
WinGetPos,,, Width, Height, %WinTitle%
WinMove , %WinTitle%,, lWidth,(rhight/2)-(Height/2)
Return
F11::
; The following function centers the specified window on the center of the screen:	
WinGetPos,,, Width, Height, %WinTitle%
WinMove , %WinTitle%,, (A_ScreenWidth/2)-(Width/2), (A_ScreenHeight/2)-(Height/2)
Return
F12::
; The following function centers the specified window on the left side of the screen:
WinGetPos,,, Width, Height, %WinTitle%
WinMove , %WinTitle%,, rwidth-width,(rhight/2)-(Height/2)
Return

@Bruce
thanks for posting this script. With a little adjustments I have it working nicely with my screen.

I wrote a similar script I call WindowMove.ahk. It offers a dropdown list of options for different screen locations. You can find a short description on my Free Scripts page.



I also offer an AutoHotkey Version 2.0 example script for this app.
