Ok, now I see why you did it the long way using all :: for hotkeys.
IfWinActive bit. The other wrinkle is holding the Left Mouse Button down while
hitting a key. That way I can use the mouse click to make the desktop or some
non application space active, such as task tray. While holding the left mouse
button down I just hit a letter key. Otherwise I have to click someplace to make
a safe window the active window, then let go of the mouse and hit a key combo.
AltTab to go to another window or some other key combo. But I'm mouse
oriented. This is just a variation more comfortable for me. I hope you don't
mind me tromping on your ahk code. It's just a handy util so I wanted to
modify for the mouse oriented types like myself.
edit: even with the hotkeys all hard coded using :: the calls to EmptyWorkingSet()
keep memory usage in the tray under a MB.
