Plug-In Window Helper for Ableton Live

Anybody who uses Ableton Live on Windows…

I’ve created a free open-source utility called Plug-In Window Helper. It’s an AutoHotkey script that gives you quick access to your plug-in windows from anywhere in Live, and lets you instantly hide them when they get in the way.

I’ve been using it myself for a few weeks, and I find it really speeds up my workflow - especially when I use multiple plug-ins. It’s at the point now where it’s pretty solid, and I think it's time to let other people know about it and get some feedback.

Check it out and let me know what you think!

Looks like a nice one!
FYI, since L11 you can key/midi map any plugin's open/close window button.

Thanks!

Yeah, I know about the key/MIDI mapping feature, but I tend to use quite a few plugins, and when I'm experimenting it would really slow me down to key-map all my windows!
