Autohotkey Helps Work Around Cadence Bugs

Last place I worked at had the worst every tech support in the world - I mean the EDA side.

There was a time when you'd sleep your laptop, go into a conference room to be present for a meeting and restart Exceed and have Cadence (Virtuoso) windows be off screen. How frustrating - nothing you could do.

Even worse, some of the new windows that came up would show up off screen. Horrible!

My workaround? Define CTRL-ESC to take the currently active window to 0,0 - top left so you could then interact with it. It's been a boon.

Just insert this before you get to the meat of your Easy_KDEstyle_dragresize script (before the !LButton:: is good)

^Escape::

WinMove,A,, 0, 0
