Tips

If you hide an active window, it may stay active even if invisible. To deactivate, after hid use act to activate next window. See example.

hid- does not activate the window. To unhide and activate, use act instead.

Examples

hid "Notepad" ;;hide "Notepad"
hid- "Notepad" ;;unhide "Notepad"
hid- ;;unhide last hidden window
 
 Hide Notepad and make next window active:
int h=win("Notepad")
hid h
if(h=win) act
