How to create context-sensitive hotkeys when no window is active?-CodePudding

I want to create some hotkeys when no window is active:

But there's no statement like #IfNoWinActive, how to achieve this?

CodePudding user response：

There is always an active window (the one that will get input).

E.g. the Win X Menu has no title but a hidden ahk_class (LauncherTipWnd). To detect it you have to add DetectHiddenWindows, On in your script:

#NoEnv
#SingleInstance Force
DetectHiddenWindows, On

#IfWinActive ahk_class LauncherTipWnd ; Win X Menu

    F1:: Run notepad
    F2:: Send m ; starts the Device Manager
    
#IfWinActive

EDIT:

To get the title and ahk_class of the (hidden) active window, run this script and press F1 as soon as that window is active:

#NoEnv
#SingleInstance Force

DetectHiddenWindows, On

F1::
    WinGetTitle, ActiveTitle, A
    WinGetClass, ActiveClass, A
    MsgBox, ActiveTitle:
