Window Directives #If #IfWinActive #IfWinExist [AutoHotkey Tutorial #15 Part 6]

The #If directives in AutoHotkey allows users to create creates context-sensitive hotkeys and hotstrings. In this video, we explore the various directives (#IfWinActive, #IfWinNotActive, #IfWinExist, #IfWinNotExist, and #If Expression) that are used to create hotkeys and hotstrings that work only when specific conditions are met, such as when a window is active, or the mouse cursor is on a certain window.

If I have multiple of the same window how do I activate a certain one of them?

[Julian-ftzq]

I have a program that has multiple windows with the same window title and every time I restart the program the windows all get a different ahk_pid and ahk_id assigned...
What I'm trying to do is just a simple hotkey to activate a certain window but I can't get it to work because of the randomized ahk_pid and ahk_id's.

Is there a way to assign the hotkey to the active window? So for example if I have notepad active and I press F12 it will then assign F12 to from then on activate and minimize notepad.
Because that's the only solution I could think of myself as a noob 😆

Hi, just wondering about how to find the right name to put for the application for the Directive Scripts. I'm trying to make a IfWinActive script when only Notion is opened, but typing notion does not help. Is there a directory that I can refer to so that I can find the relevant naming systems for apps?
