Avoid AutoRaise to activate the window while pressing down the Command Key

Summary

  • I use Bartender and AutoRaise (installed via HomeBrew), and the window usually gets activated by AutoRaise when I want to select the icon in Bartender's hidden menu bar.

  • I decided to amend AutoRaise to make it avoid activating the window while I am pressing the command key.

With above amendment, I can select the icon in Bartender's hidden menu bar as follows:

  • Move the mouse to the menu bar.
  • Show Bartender's hidden menu bar and then press the command key.
  • Keep pressing down the command key until the mouse cursor reaches to the icon.
  • Release the command key.
  • Click the icon (The icon does move to the menu bar and shows the sub menus if you kept pressing down the command key).
