custom_cord_global_deafen

Simple Autohotkey script to globally focus and deafen custom Discord clients that don't support global hotkeys

Tested working with Vesktop, Discord, ArmCord

You have 2 options, depending on if you want to edit the script or not:

Option #1, no editing required, precompiled for ArmCord and Discord window titles only:

• Run the precompiled release for:
  • ArmCord that you can download here: https://git.efiyo.xyz/efiyo/custom_cord_global_deafen/releases/tag/Armcord
  • Discord, Vesktop and any other client that uses the default window name here: https://git.efiyo.xyz/efiyo/custom_cord_global_deafen/releases/tag/Discord/Vesktop
• Press the Pause key on your keyboard to focus toggle deafen yourself on Discord

Option #2, requires editing the script to customize to the custom client name you use:

• Download and install Autohotkey 2.0 here: https://www.autohotkey.com/ ; Autohotkey 1.x is not supported by the script
• Replace all instances of ArmCord in custom_cord_global_deafen.ahk in your editor with the window title of your custom client if it has one, e.g. you would put Discord for Vesktop
  • Optionally replace the Pause on line #3 with a hotkey of your choice
• Run or compile using Autohotkey custom_cord_global_deafen.ahk
• Run the compiled .exe and press the hotkey you assigned

Known issues

• Sometimes the script will press the hotkey twice which can be noticed if it deafens and undeafens right away, current proposal for the fix would be to add a delay to Send on line #12
• If you have multiple Discord clients active it will only focus to the last active one
