In my workflow I open Resultsviewer a lot, and look at the EnergyPlus .err file.

Since this debugging is quite time-consuming, I was looking for a way to optimize my workflow using AutoHotKey (http://www.autohotkey.com/)

I wrote a script that can for instance open ResultsViewer, and is easily modifiable to perform other actions.

This is great, thanks for sharing. But can you please phrase it as a question ("How can you automate opening results viewer to see the latest .err file?) and put your solution as an answer?

Sure! I realized this wasn't a question, but wanted to share in case someone should find it helpful

Answering your own question is perfectly fine and even recommended! Thanks for adjusting.

When the script below is active, some functionality is added when an OpenStudio window has focus.

The following shortcuts are available, and work on the most recently run .osm-file (based on modified date):

Ctrl+R: Opens Resultsviewer (and goes to tree view + collapses the tree)
Ctrl+E: Opens the .err in Notepad++
Ctrl+D: Opens the folder in explorer
Ctrl+Q: Closes Resultsviewer (so that no file conflict occurs when running simulation)

I didn't do any thorough testing, so it may need modifications on your system. Feel free to use/modify.

        FileGetTime, dt, %A_LoopFileFullPath%\resources
        EnvSub, dt, %NewestTime%, seconds
        if dt > 0  ; Source file is newer than destination file.
