Forgot to include the script I am using, see below. Its using the OpenKneeBoard remote control function to set the tab to vPilot on press of Joystick button 14 in the example below. And it works great, but I would rather not use the button hold function and have it instead so the first keypress of button 14 takes me to vPilot with mouse focus and then I press button 14 again to return the focus to MSFS. I tried to add an additional KeyWait but it didn't work. Probably something simple but it is years since I have used AHK

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0

global appvPilot:="ahk_exe vPilot.exe"
global mfs:="ahk_exe FlightSimulator.exe"

2Joy14::
{
    if not WinExist(appvPilot)
        return
	else
		run "C:\Program Files\OpenKneeboard\utilities\OpenKneeboard-RemoteControl-SET_TAB.exe position 4"
	switchApp("2Joy14",appvPilot)
}

switchApp(key,app)
{
	OutX:=0
	OutY:=0
	OutWidth:=0
	OutHeight:=0
	SendInput "{Blind}!{Tab}"
	Sleep 100
	WinActivate app
	WinGetClientPos &OutX, &OutY, &OutWidth, &OutHeight
	MouseMove OutWidth/2,OutHeight/2
	KeyWait key
	SendInput "{Blind}!{Tab}"
	WinActivate mfs
}

 

I experiment a small noticeable loss of smoothness when the OpenKneeboard IVAO window is open in VR, is that normal?, so this is not for me by the moment, like other smooth Tablets in VR, though without the IVAO UI....

please delete

This is great, thanks for posting!! I am using this trick with Navigraph Charts app and it works well but when I switch focus to Navigraph charts, I cannot see the cursor of my mouse in openKneeboard in VR. Makes it very difficult to interact with the app while in VR. Is there a trick to make the mouse cursor appear in OpenKneeboard?
