A lot of Enhancer for YouTube™ users have asked me to add an option to make the pop-out player stay always on top of other windows, but it's not possible because browser extensions have limited capabilities so I'm gonna show you how you can easily do it using AutoHotkey, a popular free and open source software for Windows.

How to install and use AutoHotkey
First you need to download AutoHotkey so go to the download page and click the 'Download AutoHotkey Installer' button. Once downloaded, execute the file and select 'Express installation'. If you select 'Custom installation' it is recommended to select one of the 'Unicode' versions. Once the installation is complete click on 'Exit' to close the 'AutoHotkey Setup'.
Now follow these steps to create the script that will be used by AutoHotkey:

Make Window Stay On Top

Dec 07, 2017 Windows, though, doesn't provide us with an integrated option to quickly achieve that. As a result, we keep reorganizing the windows we have currently open and waste a lot of time. In this guide, we will see how we can force a window to always stay on top, to boost our productivity while multitasking on Windows. To make the active window stay on top, press the assigned keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Spacebar. Note: Press the shortcut again to disable the script. Method 4: DeskPins. DeskPins is another small system utility tool that provides you pins that you can grab and use to keep any window on top of all other windows. Simply, download and install. Bug ID 27430873: Add 'Stay in Front' option to Terminal windows. Apple's Activity Monitor app similarly has the option Keep CPU Windows on Top that floats the small CPU graphs on top of all other apps' windows. May 25, 2020 When working with multiple windows, it is natural that you might want to pin a window and keep it always on top. This is especially true for small screens with limited screen real-estate. Generally, some programs have a dedicated option to stay on top of other windows. The Windows 10 Calculator is a good example.
That's it! Now double-click the script to run it then select the window you want to keep on top of the others and press W (Windows icon key) and Spacebar on your keyboard. When you want to restore the default behavior select the same window and press those keys again. When you want to completely stop the script right-click the green AutoHotkey icon in the system tray and select 'Exit'. If you want to use a different key combination let me know in the comments.
If you want to set the size and position of the window you can modify the script to use WinMove. The following code will move the window in the top right corner but obviously you can specify your own X and Y coordinates and also the width and height of the window:
