Having two Windows excluded in a IfWinNotActive in AutoHotKey - autohotkey

Question

I am mapping Alt+F4 to ESC so that I can close windows just by pressing escape. However there are two windows that I need to actually use ESC in. So, when either of these two windows are active I want to be able to press ESC without closing the window. What is the easiest way to accomplish this? I have my script working when I just am excluding one active window but I need to work when either of the two windows are active.
Here is my attempted code:
GroupAdd, ESC, Untitled - Notepad
GroupAdd, ESC,
#IfWinNotActive, ahk_group, ESC
Escape::!F4
Return
This is the code that works properly with just one window:
;#IfWinNotActive, Untitled - Notepad
;Escape::!F4
;Return
UPDATE: Should this work?
SetTitleMatchMode, 2
SetTitleMatchMode, 2
#IfWinNotActive, Untitled - Notepad
#IfWinNotActive, Document 1 - Microsoft Word
Escape::!F4
Return

Answer 1

You have an extra comma in your #IfWinNotActive line after ahk_group
Try the following:
GroupAdd, ESC, Untitled - Notepad
; Add more windows to the group if necessary
#IfWinNotActive, ahk_group ESC
Escape::!F4
Return

Try using SetTitleMatchMode.
http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/SetTitleMatchMode.htm
2: A window's title can contain WinTitle anywhere inside it to be a
match.
Then you can do this (it is case-sensitive by default):
settitlematchmode, 2
#IfWinNotActive, Untitled -
Try this:
First, you can't remap the same key twice in the same script.
This command affects the behavior of all windowing commands, e.g.
IfWinExist and WinActivate.
Second, you stack lines like this:
#IfWinNotActive, Untitled - Notepad
#IfWinNotActive, Document 1 - Microsoft Word
you are saying, if win1 is not active, THEN if win2 is not active.
Try this, instead:
settitlematchmode, 2
app1 := winexist("other app")
app2 := winexist("Untitled - Notepad")
if(app1 || app2) ;the || means OR. you can use && for AND.
Escape::!F4 ;you can only map a particular key one time per script
or this, which is more along the lines of your approach:
settitlematchmode, 2
GroupAdd, ESC, Untitled - Notepad
GroupAdd, ESC, My other window
IfWinNotActive, ahk_group ESC
Escape::!F4
Return

Answer 3

This worked for me:
1: write this at the top of your script (before the first hotkey):
SendMode Input ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetTitleMatchMode, Regex
2: Then you can use the not operator !:
if !(WinActive("ahk_class Notepad") or WinActive("ahk_class Calculator")) {
...
}
