Hello,

I have a couple of games I play with a controller, but I have a problem.
I am actually ashamed of liking them (but this post is obviously not about that, so moving on).

So what I would like to be able to do is minimize the game with a button or button combination on my Xbox One controller in case someone comes to my room.

I know this is probably something to use AutoHotKey for, but I do not know how that program work and I am too lazy to learn it to be completely honest.

Are there any autohotkey scripts or programs I can do this with?

I do appreciate help with my situation of liking this game but wanting to hide it, but I would appreciate it even more if it could be left out of the equation. All I want is to find a way to minimize the game using my controller.

Thanks in advance!

If this is used on a pc, there are several 'key remapping' apps available for this.
I have a mouse with a mapped "Alt+Tab" key combo for those instances. It alt-tabs to a movie or video I have playing. Keep in mind you have to set this up to work right since there are several selection. Start both then when in the game use the keybd and hold down alt then press tab repeatedly until you on on your decoy then let go of both. Now its just a quick alt tab to switch between the two. (I usually have half a dozen things open on the pc so I need to do the 'setting up') enjoy.

Thanks.
It is probably easier for me just to use a keyboard shortcut instead. So I'll look for a app that does that.
