Quick and easy Alt-Tab double cursor fix

Nevermind. This doesn't work in Win8, and there are other problems with it. Just use this I guess: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/36125/?

 

 

 

Hey, I was having trouble with the double cursor problem when using Alt-tab to switch out and into Skyrim. I noticed someone said you could pull up the Steam overlay first to prevent the problem, and fix it after it has occurred. So I thought why not automate it?

 

Autohotkey is used for some existing alt-tab "mods". But this one is really simple. It just catches alt-tab and sends a shift-tab keystroke first, to pull up the steam overlay (which you never actually see when you return).

 

  1. You just need to install this really lightweight tray app: http://www.autohotkey.com
  2. Then right click the tray icon --> Edit this script
  3. Then paste in this and save:
#IfWinActive Skyrim
AltTab::
ShiftTab
AltTab
return
#IfWinActive

Seamless. Acts just like alt-tab (but works properly). Hope it helps someone.
