[Script] HotkeyR - fast window switcher with modern GUI (Alt Tab Enhancer)

[rossning92]

HotkeyR

• E.g., to activate notepad++ from tons of your desktop windows, you simply hit `CapsLock + N` (notepad++ starts with `N`).
• Holding `CapsLock` key will bring up a alt-tab-like list allowing you to activate window by clicking.
• Clicking **always-on-top button** on the right to keep your window frontmost.
• Try out yourself!

@rossning92, that is indeed one fine script. Really impressive GUI, by the way.
Thank you!

Sorry to intrude literally five years later, I'll assume this to die out.

How can I make the Capslock-Hotkey not fire on specific windows? I need the key in several games for sneaking, but cannot figure out how to get it to pass Capslock along to those. I tried a simple #If !Winactive() , I tried catching the execution and just sending the key itself again, I tried setting a direct Capslock::Capslock assignment below the first hotkey-definition to overwrite in javaw.exe.

Basically, I tried all the sensible, and a lot of dumb stuff while attempting to make this happen.



May someone help me figure this out?


Additionally, I've been trying to first make the GUI disappear if I hold down capslock for more than X seconds, and then disable the hotkeys for the window activation at the same time - but that is for a different usecase, and would not help when I need immediate capslock feedback in a game.

Thank you,

Sincerely,
~Gw

Try this (should fire only in Notepad and Calculator):

Spoiler

Code: Select all

GroupAdd, CapsLockFire, ahk_exe notepad.exe
GroupAdd, CapsLockFire, Calculator
Return

#IfWinActive ahk_group CapsLockFire
CapsLock::
    ;clState:= GetKeyState("CapsLock", "T")
    
    SoundBeep ; repace this with your code
    
    ;if clState ; not sure if needed at all
        ;SetCapsLockState On
    ;else SetCapsLockState Off
Return

Esc:: ExitApp ; to easily exit test script
