So I am trying to create a shortcut that will allow me to open a specific website in a new tab, when chrome is already open. To start I was trying to open a new tab in chrome. I got a script to work that opens a new window of chrome with a blank tab, but I want it to be in a window that is already there. This is my working script:
This code looks like it should work, but I keep getting an error about line 2
"Error at line 2.
Line Text: WinExist, ahk_class chrome.exe
This line does not contain a recognized action.
The program will exit."
Help? lol. Not sure where to go from here. Thanks!
