Hello,

I'm trying to remap Ctrl+j to DOWN in Total Commander:

Code:
^j::Send, {DOWN}


The problem is that while I'm holding down CTRL and press j repeatedly, only one DOWN is sent unless I release CTRL and press again.

Thanks.

Try:
Code:
$^j::Send, {DOWN}
Simple hotkeys like ^j are usually implemented with RegisterHotkey. $ forces AutoHotkey to implement the hotkey using the keyboard hook, which is generally more reliable. (Not supported on Win9x.)

Thank you. I was not aware of this $ prefix and learned something new today.

Though this issue is not related to ahk: I'm using synergy (http://synergy2.sf.net) these days and if I use the local keyboard instead, both ^j and $^j work correctly.
