Taskbar Click Fix is a Windows 11 taskbar click fix tool built with AutoHotkey v2, addressing the issue of missed or unresponsive taskbar clicks.

Key Features:

• Observation Logger (taskbar_click_logger.ahk) — records click duration, pointer movement, root window class, and foreground window changes to CSV
• Correction MVP (taskbar_click_fix_mvp.ahk) — detects short clicks on taskbar windows and injects a delayed button-up to ensure the click registers

How the Correction Works:

1. Watches left button down/up with WH_MOUSE_LL
2. Detects taskbar root windows (Shell_TrayWnd, Shell_SecondaryTrayWnd)
3. If button-up happens too quickly, swallows the original up event
4. Injects a delayed button-up so the effective hold reaches MIN_HOLD_MS (default: 40ms)

Quick Start:

1. Install AutoHotkey v2
2. Clone or copy the repository
3. Run ahk/taskbar_click_logger.ahk (observation) or ahk/taskbar_click_fix_mvp.ahk (correction)
4. Reproduce the taskbar click issue and inspect results

• ahk/taskbar_click_logger.ahk — observation logger
• ahk/taskbar_click_fix_mvp.ahk — correction MVP
• docs/research.md — deep research report
• docs/mvp-notes.md — MVP scope and limitations
• docs/quickstart-ja.md — Japanese quickstart guide
