; CONFIGURATION SECTION: Change the below values as desired.

; This is the maximum number of windows to allow to be hidden (having a
; limit helps performance):
mwt_MaxWindows = 50

; This is the hotkey used to hide the active window:
mwt_Hotkey = !y ; Win+y

; This is the hotkey used to unhide the last hidden window:
mwt_UnHotkey = !u  ; Win+u

; If you prefer to have the tray menu empty of all the standard items,
; such as Help and Pause, use N.  Otherwise, use Y:
mwt_StandardMenu = Y

; These next few performance settings help to keep the action within the
; #HotkeyModifierTimeout period, and thus avoid the need to release and
; press down the hotkey's modifier if you want to hide more than one
; window in a row.  These settings are not needed you choose to have the
; script use the keyboard hook via #InstallKeybdHook or other means:
#HotkeyModifierTimeout 100
SetWinDelay 10
SetKeyDelay 0

; END OF CONFIGURATION SECTION (do not make changes below this point
; unless you want to change the basic functionality of the script).

Send, !{esc}
; Hide it only now that WinGetTitle/WinGetClass above have been run (since
; by default, those commands cannot detect hidden windows):
WinHide

; If the title is blank, use the class instead.  This serves two purposes:
; 1) A more meaningful name is used as the menu name.
; 2) Allows the menu item to be created (otherwise, blank items wouldn't
;    be handled correctly by the various routines below).
