I want to realize a program which works in this way: I have a folder opened in Windows Explorer. I'm working in a program and I want to save my work. I open the Open/save dialog and I'd like to have a shortcut to automatically jump to the folder which is currently opened in Windows Explorer.
I think AutoHotKey should do the trick but I don't know how to go on. Perhaps the best solution is:
Is it possible to realize that in AHK? How to do it?
Example (using a new notepad document):
#IfWinActive ahk_class Notepad
F1::
explorer_path := "" ; empty variable
IfWinNotExist ahk_class CabinetWClass ; explorer
return ; do nothing
; otherwise:
; https://autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?p=28751#p28751
; get the path of the first explorer window:
for window in ComObjCreate("Shell.Application").Windows
{
try explorer_path := window.Document.Folder.Self.Path
break
}
; MsgBox, %explorer_path%
Send, ^s ; save the new document
; wait for the Save As window and activate it
WinWait, Save As ahk_class #32770
WinActivate, Save As ahk_class #32770
WinWaitActive, Save As ahk_class #32770
; open the folder "explorer_path" in Save As
SendInput, %explorer_path%
Sleep, 300
Send, {Enter}
return
#IfWinActive
