Set Window focus

I have a VA command that sends keystrokes to other apps - this works well, but when this happens my game (Elite Dangerous) stops being the foreground app and I have to mouse click the game window to restore the focus. I have ED setup as full screen windowed.

I see there are Perform a Window function commands. Would it be possible to have one of them be "Focus"?

Thanks,

Damon

Hi, Damon. Do you have Teamviewer running?

Oh, Gary is there an issue with Teamviewer?

I was having issues with Window Focus but I never got around to trying to resolve it.

I need to ask that now... it seems to be this month's AVG ;)

Was the problem with E:D or was it another app?

Neither, ARK: Survival Evolved. I was trying to use voiceattack to just hold the W key for a cross continent flight and be able to browse the web while doing so. If I clicked outside the ARK window though, the forward motion stopped. I assumed it was just the way it should be.

Actually, yes, that's what it should be doing. Commands stop if the window that was active when the command was executed was changed. There is an option, 'Stop running commands if focus is lost'. Have you tried unchecking that option? There's also the option to resume when the focus is regained.

I'm thinking, 'normal' brings the window back up to the top. The commands themselves should be able to set the focus by setting the process target (command level/profile level/global level (main screen)).

I think I am not up to the latest version. I rarely upgrade unless I have a need. I'll do that :D
