If you are like me, you might have multiple Gmail accounts. What does this mean ? It means a long process when you want to switch from an account to another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what if you could, in less than 5 seconds, go from your professional account to your personal one without disrupting your workflow ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you integrate this URL in an Autohotkey macro, (https:\/\/mail.google.com\/mail\/?logout&hl=en<\/a>) , it becomes easy to flip flop between different adresses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is how the macro looks like :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

F1::<\/code>
ie := ComObjCreate(\"InternetExplorer.Application\")
\nie.Visible := true<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n

ie.Navigate(\"https:\/\/mail.google.com\/mail\/?logout&hl=en\")
\nwhile ie.readyState != 4 || ie.document.readyState != \"complete\" || ie.busy
\nSleep, 100
\n<\/code>
ie.document.getElementById(\"choose-account-0\").click()
\nwhile ie.readyState != 4 || ie.document.readyState != \"complete\" || ie.busy
\nSleep, 100
\n<\/code>
ie.document.getElementById(\"Passwd\").value := \"Type your password here\"
\nie.document.getElementById(\"signIn\").click()<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n

ObjRelease(ie)
\nReturn
\n<\/code>
Please note here that it works with Internet Explorer only. Where you read “choose-account-0”, you have to replace 0 by 1 if you want to set your second account and by 2 to set your third account and so on. Where you read “Type your password here”, you have to put your account password.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have many accounts, it is a lot more easier to use this macro with an Enterpad<\/a> because you don\u2019t need to remember where your hotkeys are and you do not interfere with your function keys on your computer keyboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
