Hi i wrote a small script for a rpg. I send commands to the programm via ControlSend (also tried with send).

no, the problem is that all other keys work, like only pressing 2 or whatever (even {HOME} works), only key combinations with CTRL,ALT or SHIFT don't work if the shortcut for the macro is using the windows key.
With the SHIFT & 1 shortcut everything works fine

Thanks for clarifying.

I tried the following script and its hotkey seems to have the desired effect (select-all) in Notepad. Maybe you can try it too. If it doesn't work in Notepad, it would be good to know the version of AutoHotkey you're using and your OS version.

#5:: ; Win+5
ControlSend,, ^a, A
return

This might also be a game-specific issue. You could try increasing KeyDelay to see if that helps:
#1:: ; Win+1
SetKeyDelay, 20, 10 ; The 2nd number might be the most important for some games.

Hi

In the code example i had a line like SetKeyDelay 30,20 at the moment i even had to put this up to SetKeyDelay 200,80 which slows down writing in other apps pretty much.
But still autohotkey refuses to send CTRL, ALT or SHIFT key kombination to the app when a windows key is used as a shortcut for the macro. I also tried the RWIN thing.
If i use SHIFT+Key as a shortcut for my macro everything works fine.

This sounds like a game-specific issue since hotkeys very similar to the one you described seem to work in other apps. One such hotkey, which works in Notepad and other editors, is:
#5:: ; Win+5
ControlSend,, ^a, A
return
