This AutoHotkey script is related to this post:
https://community.sdl.com/product-groups/translationproductivity/f/studio/35337/why-is-the-find-and-replace-window-is-not-always-on-top
where the poster asked to set the Find and Replace window on top of the Editor.
The following script will set any window Always On Top. It works with any window, not only the Find and Replace dialog box.
I use the Application key plus the V keys as a hotkey, but you can change it to your convenience.
☛ The Application Key is also called the Menu Key and when pressed it opens a contextual menu:
AppsKey & v::
while GetKeyState("AppsKey", "P")
Sleep, 20
Winset, Alwaysontop, Toggle, A
return
Add these lines to your script file and when the Find and Replace window (or any window) is open and active, press the hotkey. From now on the window will be on top on any window, not that just the Editor. And it'll be on top until you close the Find and Replace dialog box or until you press again the same hotkey.
I hope it helps!
Thank you- Jesús Prieto

Hi Jesús Prieto
Couldn't set it out Is there any video tutorial available for that?
Hi Alexander The Great,
The above code works works, but I've confirmed that it doesn't work if I run it in a second AutoHotkey script and I try to set a window on top with both scripts. If I reload the 2nd script, then the 1st one doesn't work. Weird…
Have you got 2 AutoHotkey scripts running?
BTW: This is the code I use nowadays:
AppsKey & v:: WinGet, ExStyle, ExStyle, A if (ExStyle & 0x8) ; 0x8 is WS_EX_TOPMOST ; ToolTip to show alwaysON enabled else ; ToolTip to show alwaysON disabled Winset, Alwaysontop, Toggle, A
WinGet, ExStyle, ExStyle, A
if (ExStyle & 0x8) ; 0x8 is WS_EX_TOPMOST
; ToolTip to show alwaysON enabled
else
; ToolTip to show alwaysON disabled
I am trying to set and run only one script at the time.
Could you please confirm the below steps of mine or give your step by step manual as how to set it up
1. Home tab => Ahk => AutoHotKey scripts
2. Copy-pasting your script text to the Scrip Content field and saving it
3. Closing the AutoHotKey manager window and starting a file for translation in Editor
4. While translating, pressing Ctrl+А (to Ctrl+H) to get Find and Replace window opened (at this moment the window goes behind if clicking somewhere else in the editor)
5. Pressing Context Menu key?
Here is the outcome
Kindly clarify what I need to fix in my steps
just press "Ctrl f" or "Ctrl h" that is good enough.
in case you need above two hotkeys work ONLY for Trados Studio then you add this "context" (they call it this style of coding..a "Kon Takst"...)
considered Trados Studio version2021 too.
hmmm..
My comment stems from this post of crying for Help, Happen to be the same guy..... with the same pain in the neck.
