1 - 📦 Switch Numpad Enhanced
A productivity-focused AutoHotkey script that transforms your numpad into a task switcher. Press $ to minimize all windows, open the Ctrl+Alt+Tab switcher, and use NumPad1–9 to instantly jump to your desired app.
⚙️ Features
- Minimize All + Task Switcher: $ triggers Win+M followed by Ctrl+Alt+Tab, resetting window order and opening the persistent switcher.
- Numpad Navigation: NumPad1–9 selects apps from left to right in the switcher.
- Auto-disable: Numpad hotkeys deactivate after 10 seconds to avoid interference.
- Quick Exit: Alt+Escape cleanly exits the script.
🧠 How It Works
autohotkey $:: ; Trigger key Send, #{m} ; Minimize all windows Sleep, 100 ; Wait for minimize Send, ^!{tab} ; Open switcher Send {Home} ; Move to first app SetTimer, EnableNumberKeys, -50
Each NumPadX sends {Right X-1}{Enter} to select the corresponding app.
⌨️ Hotkeys Summary
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| $ | Minimize all + open switcher |
| NumPad1 | Select leftmost app |
| NumPad2–9 | Select app X positions to the right |
| Alt+Escape | Exit script |
🛠 Requirements
- Windows OS

🧪 Notes
-
Works best when task switcher order is predictable.

2 - 🔒 Close All Windows With Confirmation (^F9)
This AutoHotkey script closes all open windows—except Rainmeter—after a confirmation dialog. It's a fast way to declutter your desktop without affecting essential overlays.
⚙️ Features
- Triggered by Ctrl + F9
- Displays a confirmation dialog before proceeding
- Skips Rainmeter windows (RainmeterMeterWindow class)
- Uses WinGet and WinClose for robust window handling
🧠 How It Works
- Press Ctrl + F9
- A message box appears:
"Are you sure you want to close all open windows? (Rainmeter windows will be skipped)" - If you click Yes, the script:
- Retrieves all top-level window IDs
- Filters out Rainmeter windows
- Closes each remaining window by title
🛑 Safety Notes
- Rainmeter windows are explicitly excluded to preserve your desktop widgets.
- Windows are closed by title, which may not work for some apps with duplicate or empty titles.
- No undo—use with care!
🧪 Example Use Case
You're running multiple explorer windows, notepad instances, and browser tabs. One hotkey declutters everything—except your Rainmeter skin.
3 - 🪟 Minimize & Restore Last Active Window (Win + Z / Win + Q)
This AutoHotkey script lets you quickly minimize the current window and restore it later—ideal for toggling distractions or hiding sensitive content temporarily.
⚙️ Features
- Win + Z: Minimizes the currently active window
- Win + Q: Restores the most recently minimized window
- Maintains a stack of minimized windows for sequential restoration
- Skips already minimized windows to avoid redundant actions
🧠 How It Works
- Press Win + Z:
- Captures the active window ID
- Checks if it's already minimized
- If not, minimizes it and stores its ID
- Press Win + Q:
- Retrieves the last stored window ID
- Restores it if it's still minimized
🧪 Example Use Case
You're switching between a confidential document and a browser. Hit Win + Z to hide the doc, then Win + Q to bring it back when ready—no need to hunt through the taskbar.
🛠️ Notes
- Uses WinExist("A") to track the active window
- Stores window IDs in a stack (lastWindows) for multi-level undo
- Restoration only works if the window is still minimized and hasn't been closed
4 - 🧹 Minimize & Restore All Windows (Win + S / Win + W)
This AutoHotkey script gives you full control over desktop clutter—instantly minimizing or restoring all windows except system trays and Rainmeter skins.
⚙️ Features
- Win + S: Minimizes all open windows
- Win + W: Restores all previously minimized windows
- Skips:
- Taskbar (Shell_TrayWnd)
- Secondary tray (Shell_SecondaryTrayWnd)
- Rainmeter (RainmeterMeterWindow)
- Uses WinGet and WinMinimize / WinRestore for reliable window control
🧠 How It Works
- Both hotkeys retrieve a list of all top-level windows
- Filters out system tray and Rainmeter classes
- Applies WinMinimize or WinRestore to each remaining window
🧪 Example Use Case
You're about to present or record your screen. Hit Win + S to clear the desktop instantly. When you're done, Win + W brings everything back—no manual reopening needed.
🛠️ Notes
- Does not track which windows were minimized—restores all non-excluded windows
- Ideal for quick workspace resets or distraction-free moments
5 - 🖱️ NumPad Mouse Control (No ScrollLock Required)
Transform your NumPad into a full-featured mouse controller—no ScrollLock key needed. This script offers precise movement, button clicks, wheel scrolling, and speed tuning, all from your keyboard.
⚙️ Features
- Double-tap NumLock: Toggle mouse mode ON/OFF
- Mouse buttons:
- NumPad0: Left click
- NumPad5: Middle click
- NumPadDot: Right click
- NumPadDiv / NumPadMult: X1 / X2 click
- Mouse wheel:
- NumPadSub: Scroll up
- NumPadAdd: Scroll down
- Movement:
- NumPad8/2/4/6: Up/Down/Left/Right
- NumPad7/9/1/3: Diagonal movement
- Speed tuning (hold Ctrl):
- Ctrl + NumPad7/1: Acceleration ±
- Ctrl + NumPad8/2: Initial speed ±
- Ctrl + NumPad9/3: Max speed ±
- Exit hotkey: Win + W
🧠 How It Works
- Detects double-tap of NumLock within 300ms to toggle mode
- Uses MouseMove, Click, and MouseClick for input simulation
- Speed and acceleration dynamically adjust during movement
- Tooltips show current speed settings when modified
🧪 Example Use Case
Your mouse dies mid-session. You double-tap NumLock and keep working—clicking, scrolling, and navigating entirely via NumPad.
🛠️ Notes
- NumLock must remain ON during mouse mode
- Designed for keyboards without ScrollLock
- TrayTip notifications confirm mode status

8 - 🎯 VD Enhanced V5 Smooth 🎯
🛠 Bug Fix & Enhancement: Smooth Move-and-Follow Transition
- Issue Fixed: Previously, when using the Move and Follow hotkey (Ctrl + Win + Numpad), the transition could cause a brief "screen break" or flicker, especially noticeable on Windows 11.
- Improvement: Added a smooth transition delay between moving the window and switching desktops.
- Details:
- Delay increased to 300 ms for better stability on Windows 11.
- 150 ms still works reliably on Windows 10, but may not be sufficient for Windows 11.
- Result: No more breaking screen effect — transitions are now seamless and visually stable across desktops.
