Hello, I know of skwire's AltEdge (and variations thereof), and I wanted to suggest that alt-tab behavior be easily accesible from the touchpad region, even without mouse gestures etc. This could be done by using AltGr in combination with "." (dot) since these two keys are very easily/ergonomically accessible from the touchpad area, especially on netbooks (might also do with altgr-space, but i'd prefer the dot...). If this is too difficult, or too error-prone, I'd also be happy if altgr-. would at least switch between the current and the previously active window. (I did some research to find apps that might do this, prior to posting this, and also tried to, uhm, "code" on my own, but results were... very buggy... (stuck control key etc...)  ) AltGr should remain usable for other applications. here's a link to alt-tab... http://www.autohotkey.com.../Hotkeys.htm#AltTabDetail |

In Autohotkey, this should work: (I think  ) Formatted for AutoIt with the GeSHI Syntax Highlighter [ copy or print] AltGR & .::AltTab AltGR & RShift & .::ShiftAltTab

Hello, as far as I can see, AltGR is not defined. They say you need to use LControl and RAlt, however
LControl & RAlt & .::AltTab
will not work, either.

Does this work? (sorry for not really testing it, but I don't have a windows machine available anymore  ) Formatted for AutoIt with the GeSHI Syntax Highlighter [ copy or print] <^>.::AltTab <^>!+.::ShiftAltTab

--------------------------- --------------------------- The AltTab hotkey "<^>!+." must specify which key (L or R). --------------------------- OK --------------------------- will try the other one now... |

After a bit of experimenting, this works for me: >!.::AltTab but I cant get the second line to work >!RShift.::ShiftAltTab ____________________________ hotkeys from AHK page http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/Hotkeys.htm |

@tomos
that's cool, I always though AltGr needs to be specified by both ctrl and alt.
Btw,
RAlt & .::AltTab
works too.
Thanks. For 95% of cases, your help may well solve the problem! Thank you!!

Thanks Tomos!! Doesn't something like: Work for the second line? |

Doesn't something like: Work for the second line? looks for Right or Left - but if I add R, as in >!R+.::ShiftAltTab it says invalid hotkey  |

I think the problem is - using the Shift key changes the "." key. On my keyboard (German) it changes it to ":" which is going to totally screw with any combination, well, especially this one : Formatted for Autohotkey with the GeSHI Syntax Highlighter [ copy or print] >!.::ShiftAltTab >!+:::ShiftAltTab
":::" is bound to confuse it... I dont even know if that could be the solution, just experimenting  |

This, using "L" instead of the dot: Formatted for Autohotkey with the GeSHI Syntax Highlighter [ copy or print] >!l::AltTab >!>+l::ShiftAltTab
gives me --------------------------- The AltTab hotkey ">!>+l" must have exactly one modifier/prefix. --------------------------- which makes me think AHK cant handle shortcuts with three keys? |

If above is true, only solution is to avoid the third key (shift key) This works: Formatted for Autohotkey with the GeSHI Syntax Highlighter [ copy or print] >!k::AltTab >!p::ShiftAltTab
so that's AltGr+k for AltTab AltGr+p for ShiftAltTab works well enough here in terms of ease of use _______________________ EDIT/ I thought the L version of AHK was unicode? It wont recognise the vowels with umlauts: Formatted for Autohotkey with the GeSHI Syntax Highlighter [ copy or print] >!ö::AltTab >!ü::ShiftAltTab
--------------------------- Line Text: >!�ltTab Error: This line does not contain a recognized action. --------------------------- |

no, >!:::ShiftAltTab does not work, but I think this is not really such an important feature, and it can be implemented with an additional key that ideally is near to the "dot key".
thanks again!!!

that gets a different error again: --------------------------- Error at line 2. Line Text: :ShiftAltTab Error: This line does not contain a recognized action. --------------------------- So it seems to be (possibly) two combinations that refuse to work as hotkeys: - 1. combination of three keys
- 2. combination of Shift (and another qualifier key) and a key with two different characters e.g. :/;
maybe some AHK expert could confirm which one is the problem (or both) ? |

nope, I think it's a totally different problem. The error is that ":ShiftAltTab" is an unrecognized action. This indicates that the parser is identifying the first "::" as the hotkey delimiter, and using the last ":" as part of the action. Hence, one of these might work: |

Ah ah, I understand your pain Thanks for the help! as a left hander, I'll probably use some variation of this when using the mouse (which unfortunately I have to a lot). So, thanks for your help ;-) and to me_7834539 for the idea Tom |

I don't recall writing anything by that name... I think you have me confused with Skrommel.
