I am creating a hotkey in autohotkeys, to activate Google Chrome, or move between all Chrome windows.
The HotKey is Win + H (h meaning http).
If the user presses Win + Shift + H it opens a new chrome window
If the user presses Win + H twice, it moves between all chrome windows:
Update: See the full script in the bottom. Thank you everyone:
The problem is that AutoHotKeys cannot find the class of chrome, so it's always open new window:
This function always returns false:
If WinExist ahk_class Chrome_WidgetWin_1
Please advise.
the script file:
#h::
SetTitleMatchMode, 2
If WinExist ahk_class Chrome_WidgetWin_1
{
ifWinActive
WinActivatebottom ,Chrome_WidgetWin_1
else
WinActivate
return
}
run chrome.exe
I found the bug.
There is a bug with ifWinExist function in this version of AutoHotkeys, and Google Chrome.
The user can use;
WinActivate ahk_class Chrome_WidgetWin_1
but cannot use:
If WinExist ahk_class Chrome_WidgetWin_1
It is always false!
Hope this question&answer help to someone (I cannot write answer, because I have only 1 reputation point)
Update:
This is ahk source code, for
Win + n Open Notepad or switching between open notepads.

Win + c Open cmd.exe or switching between console windows.
Win + Shift + c Open new console.
Win + h Open Google Chrome or switching between Chrome windows

I use the name only (since Google once changed the class name). Here is an expample in AHK_L that I use.
