Activate window AND alt + printscreen middle button
Posted: Mon Aug 09, 2021 8:18 am
XMBC Version: 2.19.2
Windows Version: 10
Mouse Information (brand/model): Logitech
Relevant Computer Information (CPU, RAM etc): Average laptop, not underpowered
Did the problem occur after an upgrade of XMBC? (If so, from what version?): No
Did the problem occur after a Windows update/upgrade? (If so, from what version?): No
How long have you used XMBC?: 1 Month
What language and keyboard layout do you use in Windows?:
Clear description of the problem - try and include as much information as possible, including what button and mappings you are having problems with (if applicable).: I have a middle button keystroke that fires an '{ALT}{PRTSCN}' to take a printscreen of the active window. This works great. However, I would like this behaviour to also activate the window that the mouse is hovering over at that time. I do NOT want to have the native 'Active window on hover' functionality of Windows activated all the time.
My use case:
I am using multiple monitors to enter data into a web-based spreadsheet (Airtable, that will accept pasted screenshots). I want to move from editing the spreadsheet to the app I want screenshots of and when I middle click the mouse the web browser window for Airtable is still active - I want the middle click to activate the other application window, and then take the screenshot. Otherwise I have multiple times accidentally taken a screenshot of the web browser window when the mouse has been hovering over the other app window.
Does that make sense?
And I repeat, I don't want to have to use the windows ease of access method of having whatever the mouse is hovering over as active all the time.
Any help appreciated in advance!
