another success
*BAM* I just solved another problem with a Windows shortcut key that has bugged me for years. I love Autohotkey.
This particular problem involved the windows calculator program--I had it programmed to open whenever I press control-shift-c. That worked fine if it wasn't already running; however, if it was running but behind other windows, nothing happened.
I used autohotkey to program things such that if it's running, the calculator pops up to the front, and if it is not running, it starts the calculator program. Makes perfect sense now!
