Explicitly Focus next window after minimize

[techmon]

I use an autohotkey script (.ahk) here for some basic keyboard shortcuts, such as:
to open specific programs, to type text that is used frequently (canned text), to minimize
windows, etc.

Thank you to those behind AutoHotKey! Very powerful / time-saving! God bless you!

There are a few scenarios that I am not sure what the correct code would be so I am looking for a little bit of help.

A specific example would be, I use the following to minimize the current active window:

Code: Select all

^down::
WinGet, windows, List
WinMinimize, A
Return

always use code tags!

This works good, however I want the next window to actually focus. Right now, the next window comes into view but does not necessarily explicitly focus.

Can you help?

Thanks,
Shawn

try

Code: Select all

WinGetTitle, WinTitle, A
WinMinimize, % WinTitle
WinWaitNotActive, % WinTitle
WinActivate, A

Thanks so much for your help, TLM!

That seemed to do the trick.

No probs, glad it worked out for you
Feel free to ask if you have any further questions..

For some reason, this does not seem to be working anymore. (that it does not explicitly focus the next window after minimize)

Does anyone have any ideas?

I'm using Windows 2012 R2 which is based off Windows 8.1 kernel.

Thanks,

Would anybody have any ideas on the above question?
