I am yet to find a method to switch desktops that doesn't result in the taskbar icons highlighting orange.

e.g. the following script wreaks this havoc on my taskbar

^#Right::
send, ^#{Right}
return

^#Left::
send, ^#{Left}
return

What methods are there to get around this?

  • Is there any more info that you can provide on this issue? The script works fine for me as is: I am currently not able to reproduce what you are experiencing. – Spyre Jan 04 '21 at 02:28
  • So for me to reproduce on my system, I: 1) open a couple desktops. I usually use 3, 2) put one program on each desktop, 3) switch between desktops. When I use the original windows shortcuts to switch, the window on the new desktop is selected. But when I use the autohotkey shortcuts, then the window on the new desktop remains inactive and its icon starts highlighting orange. Is it just my system or is this a more common issue on windows 10? (Education, 64-bit) – smdanjm Jan 05 '21 at 16:47
  • So ^#XButton2::Send ^#{Right} return causes the issue while ^#XButton2::^#Right return doesn't. Obviously something about the way the send command works that I don't understand. – smdanjm Jan 11 '21 at 00:09
  • you could try rawsend see if that makes a difference – Rubys wolf May 24 '21 at 03:29
