Question
I have found the following script for dynamically assigning hotkeys to already open windows:
Code (Expand):
Loop 10
{
i := A_Index - 1
HotKey #^%i%,DynHotkey
HotKey #%i%, DynHotkey
HotKey #!%i%,DynHotkey
}
Exit
DynHotkey:
StringRight i, A_ThisHotKey, 1
StringMid what,A_ThisHotKey, 2, 1
var := var%i%
IfEqual what, ^, WinGet var%i%, ID, A ; Save ID
Else IfEqual what,!, WinMinimizeAll ; MinimizeAll
WinRestore ahk_id %var%
WinActivate ahk_id %var% ; Switch
Return
(the code was copied from this thread http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/topic38773.html&highlight=dynamic+hot+key)
With the above script you can:
- Use Win+Ctrl+0..9 to attach hotkey to current active window.
- Use Win+0..9 to switch to correspoding window.
However, if I assign a hotkey to a given window (using Win+Ctrl+0..9), and then I want I want to go back to that window (Win+0..9), the window is reset to a new size & location.
Is there way of saving the size & location of the window along with it's ID?
If so, what would the script look like?
I am running the above script on Windows 7 64-bit.
Thanks a lot,
Solution
You dont need to complicate the code :)
Quick question: if your window is minimized you dont have any problems right?
The "problem" on the code is the WinRestore
.
The thing is that if the window is not minimized and then you do a WinRestore
it will change the size and position to the "not maximized" version of it.
WinActivate automatically does a WinRestore only if the window is minimized, so you can safely remove line 16 (the WinRestore one) since WinActivate will do what you need.
--edit--
this is how the code should look:
Loop 10
{
i := A_Index - 1
HotKey #^%i%,DynHotkey
HotKey #%i%, DynHotkey
HotKey #!%i%,DynHotkey
}
Exit
DynHotkey:
StringRight i, A_ThisHotKey, 1
StringMid what,A_ThisHotKey, 2, 1
var := var%i%
IfEqual what, ^, WinGet var%i%, ID, A ; Save ID
Else IfEqual what,!, WinMinimizeAll ; MinimizeAll
WinActivate ahk_id %var% ; Switch
Return
I tested it, it works perfectly.
OTHER TIPS
You can use WinGetPos to read the actual position and save it. Then you can use WinMove to set the position. Here is a function list: http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands.htm.
