Annoying menu showing up Topic is solved

[virtualauto]

I have this very simple script that opens a folder named "Z" but then the menu (the one that says "Copy" "View" "Properties", etc) shows up as if I had right clicked over the folder. This seems to happen AFTER the script finishes, so I can't do anything inside of it to prevent this behaviour. If I remove the ~ the right click is disabled in the windows explorer (among other things)

Code: Select all

~RButton & LButton::
	Run, "Z:"
	WinActivate, Z (Z:)
	WinWaitActive, Z (Z:)
	WinMaximize, Z (Z:)
	Return

Hallo...

LOL your script hides the menu because it closes the Z folder too The problem is that the annoying menu seems to be triggered AFTER the script finishes (after the "return", a vicious right click is executed over the folder Z), so anything inside the script is probably useless (at least that is what I think).

Not working. The problem seems to be that a right click is generated after the script finishes, and the ~ is the one to blame. Unfortunately I can't delete it because it disables the right click functionality in the windows explorer (among other things).

For anyone looking for an answer to the same problem: you should use a timer https://autohotkey.com/docs/commands/SetTimer.htm. Then use a

Code: Select all

Send, {Esc}

or some other sorcery to exit that annoying menu showing up as a result of the tilde being used.

That's why one avoid hotkeys for left/right/middle mouse buttons they for sure have "built in" functions in OS.

Better chordings are

Code: Select all

XButton4 & RButton::
Ctrl & RButton::
WheelLeft::
