An autohotkey desktop manager
###Description
If you have moved to Windows 10 already then you have to make use of the new Virtual desktop environment! Unfortunately Windows is lacking a few keyboard shortcuts such as jumping to a specific desktop and moving programs to another desktop. This script is designed to fill that hole by providing an easy way customisable hotkeys for all your virtual desktop managing needs.
###Requirements The script requires both a 32 and 64 bit version of the Autohotkey executable to reliably send windows to other desktops. Download the latest installer from the official Autohotkey website https://autohotkey.com/. The DLL's that are used to move windows to other desktops come from this project https://github.com/jpginc/MoveToDesktop
###Setup Clone this Repo and run windows10.ahk. Inside windows10.ahk is a default setup that you can use or edit. The JPGIncDesktopManagerClass has the following functions to setup hotkeys. Each of the following functions take a string representing a hotkey (see https://autohotkey.com/docs/Hotkeys.htm for more information about hotkeys).
- setGoToNextDesktop(hotkey)
- setGoToPreviousDesktop(hotkey)
- setMoveWindowToNextDesktop(hotkey)
- setMoveWindowToPreviousDesktop(hotkey)
- setCloseDesktop(hotkey)
- setNewDesktop(hotkey)
The following functions take a hotkey that will be combined with numbers 0 - 9 for quickly switching to a virtual desktop. As such the hotkey cannot be a custom hotkey (https://autohotkey.com/docs/Hotkeys.htm#Features)
- setGoToDesktop(hotkey)
- setMoveWindowToDesktop(hotkey)
These two functions accept either a function name, a label name, a class name with a "call" function on the class. It can also be a func object (https://autohotkey.com/docs/objects/Func.htm).
- afterGoToDesktop(name)
- afterMoveWindowToDesktop(name)
You can also set the window manager to switch to the desktop after moving a window to it. By default you won't follow moving a window to another desktop.
- followToDesktopAfterMovingWindow(bool default is false)
