Auto Hotkey doesn't work well for Epic manipulation because Epic runs inside of a Citrix Virtual Machine. You can't just read Window information and navigate that way. You'd have to have some sort of on-screen OCR to detect whether Epic is open, has focus, and is showing the tab that I want to close. Also, the tab itself can't be closed...I'm just clicking on the tab next to it.


Doable in Autohotkey. You can take a screenshot of what to look for, and tell AutoHotKey to navigate the mouse to it on the screen if it finds it.

I've done similar things.


Do you stop to think of the wastage of resources that is having an auto OCR of the screen and a LLM to simply close a tab.
