Autohotkey script to perform action when Microsoft Edge is active - autohotkey

Question

I'm trying to write an script in order to perform actions when Microsoft Edge windows being active. I tried these scripts:
#IfWinActive Microsoft edge
~$l::
KeyWait,l,T0.25
if (ErrorLevel)
{
send,^l
sleep,100
send,{Delete}
}
return
But it doesn't recognize the windows. I tried different names such #IfWinActive, ahk_class Microsoft Edge and #IfWinActive Microsoft Edge.exe too. but neither of them worked.

Using Window Spy on a new Edge tab shows me this:
Of the three main options that you would use for an #IfWinActive statement (WinTitle, ahk_class, or ahk_exe), the ahk_exe would likely be the best option for creating a script that will always work in MS Edge, and only in MS Edge based on what the Windows Spy displays.
Based on this, I created this generic script to check if a hotkey was triggered in Edge
#IfWinActive, ahk_exe msedge.exe
^q::MsgBox Hotkey Triggered in Edge (msedge.exe)
#If
^q::MsgBox Hotkey Triggered in a different program
Incorporating your original script into this gives:
#IfWinActive, ahk_exe msedge.exe
~$l::
KeyWait,l,T0.25
if (ErrorLevel)
{
send,^l
sleep,100
send,{Delete}
}
return
For more info about #IfWinActive, see the docs.
Also relevant: Post on AHK forums on how to use the #IfWinActive with program names, ahk_exe, and ahk_class.
