switching to emacs via keboard shortcut

switching to emacs via keboard shortcut

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 229 bytes --]

I run org-mode on GMU Emacs for Windows.  During my workflow I am frequently alt-tab 'ing to get back to Emacs.  Does anyone have a way to use a keyboard shortcut (maybe via an autohotkey script) to get back to emacs.

Thanks

In an AutoHotkey script I have

; -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; raise Emacs with "Ctrl-Meta-Shift-e"
^!+e::
if WinExist("ahk_class Emacs")
{
   IfWinActive
   {
     WinMinimize
   }
   else
   {
     WinActivate
   }
}
else
{
         Run %SystemDrive%\Programme\Emacs\emacs\bin\emacsclient.exe
}
return
; -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; raise Emacs with "Windows + Shift + e"
#+e::
if WinExist("ahk_class Emacs")
{
   IfWinActive
   {
     WinMinimize
   }
   else
   {
     WinActivate
   }

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I use this:


CapsLock:: 
  SetCapsLockState, off
  winactivate ahk_class Emacs
  sendinput {f12}
  return



Pressing capslock (which is a useless key, imo) puts me into Agenda from 
anywhere. Note that I bound F12 in Emacs to get to the Agenda and the above 
script relies on that.
