Hi,

I imagine you've heard this all before, but I'm having
problems with the ALT key.

In the following code, when I hold the ALT key down and
tap the 'f' key, the menu that is supposed to appear, only
flashes on and then off for a split second. Maybe I've
missed something, but how do I solve this problem?? I've
tried defining '!f' separately but I still get the same
problem.

*f::
GetKeyState, altState, Alt
if altState = D
{
Send, !f
}
else
{
Send, f
}
return
