How can i hide too many instances?

[Eikosa]

from ahk import AHK, Hotkey

ahk = AHK()


def hotkey_master(hotkey, script):
    hotkey = Hotkey(ahk, hotkey, script) # Create Hotkey
    hotkey.start()  #  Start listening for hotkey


    
hotkey_master("#Up","send, {RAlt Up}{PgUp}")
hotkey_master("#Down","send, {RAlt Down}{PgDn}")
hotkey_master("#Left","send, {RAlt Left}{PgUp}")
hotkey_master("#Right","send, {RAlt Right}{PgDn}")
hotkey_master("!Space","send, {Media_Play_Pause}")

import time

print("running")
while True:
    time.sleep(1)

It looks like this:

You can add the NoTrayIcon directive to hide the tray icon altogether.

from ahk import AHK
from ahk.directives import NoTrayIcon

ahk = AHK(directives=[NoTrayIcon])

Also note that you may see multiple icons even if only one instance is running. If you mouse over the icons, the extras will probably disappear.

Can the AHKDaemon also use it?
Like this?
ahk = AHKDaemon(executable_path=path/to/.exe", directives=[NoTrayIcon])

If I recall, AHKDaemon doesn't make use of the directives keyword, but this should be resolved in the upcoming v1 release (where the daemon strategy becomes the default).

V1 is now released and will only create 1 process to handle all command invocations by default (similar to daemon mode in v0) -- directives are also now supported.
