Ctrl K

🏷 Window

Find a window by a keyword in its title in RunMacro

What it does

The IF Window Title command scans all open windows and checks whether any title contains your keyword. It is a quick, flexible check that does not require picking one exact window.

When to use it

You just need to know if any window contains a word.
Titles change a lot; only the keyword is stable.
Quickly check state by window name.

Configuration steps

Add a Window › IF Window Title command.
Enter the keyword to find in titles.
Set retries and delay.
Set IF/ELSE labels. Save.

Every option explained

Keyword

The text that must appear in any window title (case-insensitive).

Retries + delay between tries (ms)

Repeats the scan until found or retries run out.

IF label / ELSE label

If found jump to IF; otherwise jump to ELSE.

Real example

Example: detect a "YouTube" window

IF Window Title, keyword "YouTube".
IF label = has_youtube, ELSE = none.
Put handling steps under each label.

Tips & common mistakes

Unlike IF Window Exists (targets a specific window and can focus it), this one only scans for a keyword and does not switch focus.
