Creating shortcut to software button without fixed position

Hi,

There is an window in the software VLC (Media Player) which has the button "create".

However, this window/button does not have a fixed position, since it is placed by the user sometimes below the main window, other times on the left/right, etc.

I made a screen recording illustrating this case:

Even there is not a fixed position of the window/button and it does not have a default (in-built) shortcut I could remap, would it be possible to create a shortcut to the software button "create" through FastKeys?

Thanks!

You could try one of these (Type=Command):

Code: Select all

ControlClick, QWidget4, A
 ;or
ControlClick, x30 y50, A

Both are standard AutoHotkey commands. First clicks the control defined by it's class name (QWidget4) and second by control position in window.

I used Window Spy script to find control class names or positions.

Thanks for answer.

I intend to share the AHK shortcut with students I teach, being they will have different screen resolutions and the position of the window through the screens will vary.

In both AHK commands, it seems the VLC window should be positioned always steady in the same very place, isn't it?

No, the position of th vlc window is not important.
