Want script to only work within designated program.

[realrob]

I have a teeny script to toggle the holding down of my right mouse button.
Is there a way to make it only when a certain application is in focus?

See #IfWinActive.

See #IfWinActive.

Thank you for the reply.
After looking at that, it might as well be in Japanese.
I'm gonna need a ELI5.

Code: Select all

#IfWinActive ahk_exe notepad.exe
F3::Send % GetKeyState("RButton") ? "{RButton up}" : "{RButton down}"
#IfWinActive

Another example

Code: Select all

#IfWinActive ahk_exe notepad.exe
F3::Send % GetKeyState("RButton") ? "{RButton up}" : "{RButton down}"
#IfWinActive

Another example

This was my attempt lol

Code: Select all

#IfWinActive [somename.exe]

toggle=0
return

rbutton::
toggle:=!toggle
if toggle=1
click ,right ,down
else
click, right, up
return

May I ask what the "F3" is for?
I don't have that and it seems to still work.

F3:: is an example of a hotkey. You do not need to use it. Another example of a hotkey is on line 6 of your script.

I recommend moving your #If directive to occur directly above your hotkey, because that is the only place where it works anyway.

Creates context-sensitive hotkeys and hotstrings. Such hotkeys perform a different action (or none at all) depending on the type of window that is active or exists.

See the example that I posted, or WinTitle, for proper WinTitle syntax.

Thank you kindly for the help.
I used your code and implemented a hotkey that works great. Much better than the toggle, to be honest.
