windows xp - Chrome didn't response correctly with AutoHotKey sequence Alt, Space, N


I wrote a script with AutoHotkey to minimize a current using windows task. Namely a sequence of key of Alt, Space, n activated by the press of the right Win key.


RWin::Send !{Space}n

It work perfectly with every software including Firefox but failed in Google Chrome. It just open the File menu and does nothing.


I also tried the following but it made things worse, all the software don't response correctly.


RWin::Send !{Space}
Sleep, 100
Send n
return

Answer



You could use the WinMinimize, A command to minimise the active window:


RWin::WinMinimize, A

It's probably better than a sequence of keypresses that activate a context menu option. It apparently sends the same minimise message as the option on that context menu, or the minimise button (top right corner): SC_MINIMIZE.


Tested to work on Chrome 19.0.1084.46 m, Windows 7 x64, AHK 1.0.48.05.
