Using Autohotkey in Windows 10 to open up frequently used apps which will not duplicate opening up a program if it has already launched (IfWinNotExist). I have set a timer because some apps open up slower than others (I would be interested to know if there is a better way to do this).
Problem is that there isn't a way to use WinMove
for specifying a Virtual Desktop for win10 to launch an application in. So I struggle running my frequentlyusedapps-script
and going into another Virtual Desktop to open up other apps simultaneously. This is because what ever Virtual Desktop i'm focusing on is what my frequentlyusedapps-script will move the window to.
How to have autohotkey move an application to a Virtual Desktop? If the virtualdesktop-number isn't created then the script will obviously fail to move the app, but this isn't my focus just yet. I could otherwise create the appropriate number of Virtual Desktops prior to launching my frequentlyusedapps-script
