A list of switchTo Functions complete with definitions.

The idea behind these functions was initially showcased by Taran a previous editor for LTT.

Their main purpose is to;

  • If an instance of the desired program doesn't exist, open it
  • If an instance of the desired program DOES exist, activate it
  • If multiple instances of the desired program exists, cycle between them based off the last active

A list of switchTo scripts based off this premise includes;

  • switchToExplorer()
  • switchToPremiere()
  • switchToAE()
  • switchToDisc()
    • I have this function move my discord window to a specific position if it's not already. Check that position at the top of the script
  • switchToPhoto()
  • switchToFirefox()
  • switchToOtherFirefoxWindow()
    • I use this in other functions for various reasons
  • switchToVSC()
  • switchToStreamdeck()
  • switchToExcel()
  • switchToWord()
  • switchToWindowSpy()
  • switchToEdge()
  • switchToMusic()

Other scripts in this file include

closeOtherWindow()

This function when called will close all windows of the desired program EXCEPT the active one. Helpful when you accidentally have way too many windows open.

closeOtherWindow( [program] )

program

Type: String - Program Information

Either ahk_exe program.exe or a ahk_class x of the desired program.
