2 hotkeys to focus the task list and the text

Hi,

Here is it.

I want to automate Todolist via AutoIt / AutoHotkey.

What are the possibilities to control the task list and the text field separately, if there is neither a unique hotkey nor a menu command?

Which possibilities do you know?


As a keyboard user and macrofan ( AutoIt / AutoHotkey and Co. ) I would like to have a unique hotkey to focus between the task list and the text / comment.

I couldn't find a hotkey - are there already two hotkeys with which you can focus either the to-do list or the text / comment?

A hotkey for both is not helpful, because there are problems when using a scripting language.

for instance

F11 = tasklist

shift F11 = text

best regards

Niko

It's a little bit different than your post is about, but maybe it would work for you:
- Create a new GUI window with editable content for comments
- Get values from the comment tab (For simple text it's ok, but for html and rtf could be tricky)
- Press a hotkey to maximize - minimize the window

Another tip - is to open the same project in two instances of ToDoList (I hasn't tested it yet) in the first window open the project and in the second window open the comments tab.
