QTTabBar - Conflict with AutoHotkey

wideeyedguy · 01. Sep 2011, 10:24 PM

I posted at the SourceForge forum for help with this but have not been offered a suggestion. Since AutoHotkey was mentioned in the original 'review' discussion, I thought I would seek advice here.

Before installing and activating QTTabBar, I could close the Explorer window with a simple keyboard shortcut via AHK script. Now with TabBar activated (meaning, toolbars enabled), Explorer does not respond to the keyboard shortcut.

Code:

;Use Accent/Tilde Key to Close various apps
SetTitleMatchMode, 2 ;allow partial match to window titles
#IfWinActive ahk_class ExploreWClass
`:: WinClose
#IfWinActive ahk_class CabinetWClass
`:: WinClose

What do I need to do to allow this same action to work on the Explorer window with TabBar activated/enabled?

Thanks,
weg

Thank you for accepting our invitation to post this here in the forum where it will get much more coverage than in the comments section. It's not such a well covered topic here but hopefully a solution will still arrive
