windows 8 - Remapping Win+Tab to Ctrl+Alt+Tab with Autohotkey?



I'm trying to remap Win+Tab to Ctrl+Alt+Tab using Autohotkey, in a way that each time I hit Win+Tab, it would send Ctrl+Alt+Tab instead.



I have this so far, but I'm not sure why it isn't working. I checked the documentation on Autohotkey and everything seemed right..



Rwin & Tab::send, CtrlAltTab



I was hoping someone could help me with this, thank you!


Answer



I can't check this because Ctrl+Alt+Tab doesn't seem to do anything on my machine, but the code would probably be:



Rwin & Tab::Send, ^!{Tab}


If this doesn't work, check first with either SoundBeep, 500, 500 or a normal character. If the SoundBeep, 500, 500 or normal character in e.g. Notepad doesn't work either, you might have to run AutoHotKey in Admin mode (Windows 8 issue).




The alternative that Aaron Miller came up with should be:



RWin & Tab::Send {Ctrl Down}{Alt Down}{Tab}{Alt Up}{Ctrl Up}


But as said again, test FIRST if AutoHotKey does work in Windows 8 with something simple like e::a . There is a good chance it does NOT, unless you run it with Admin rights (right click run as...)



I realize why Ctrl+Alt+Tab doesn't work on my machine. I disabled Flip 3D!
