Shortcut to switch between Microsoft Edge windows

Anonymous

I have 5 Windows open in Microsoft Edge, each on has a unique web links like apkbeb.com and I need, for example, a shortcut using ALT+1 to always go to the first opened window,a shortcut ALT+2 to always go to the second opened window.

About the ALT+TAB will go always to the last opened window and it is not what i need.

I need a shortcut to go to a specific window opened in Microsoft Edge.

Does anyone know a way to do it?

Certainly. Kindly follow these steps:

1-Go to the AutoHotkey website and download then install it.

2-Right-click on the desktop > New > AutoHotkey Script.

3-Name the script, for example, Edge Switch > Create.

4-Right-click the script file > Edit Script (on Notepad).

5-Copy and Paste the script to the Notepad file:

#NoEnv

SendMode Input

SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%

; ALT+1 to switch to the first Edge window

!1::SwitchToEdgeWindow(1)

; ALT+2 to switch to the second Edge window

!2::SwitchToEdgeWindow(2)

SwitchToEdgeWindow(index) {

; Get a list of all Edge windows

WinGet, id, list, ahk\_class Chrome\_WidgetWin\_1

; Check if the specified window index exists

if (index &lt;= id0) {

    ; Activate the specified window

    WinActivate, % "ahk\_id " id%index%

}

}

6-Save the script and double-click the file to run it.

Test it. Does it work for you?

Please keep me posted.

Hi david,

I'm Dyari. Thanks for reaching out. I will be happy to assist you in this regard.

I am afraid there is no Windows or Microsoft Edge option to do it. However, you can do it with a third-party tool like AutoHotKey.

If you want to run that tool, I will write you a script.

Please keep me updated.
