Suggestion for Send documentation page to be more helpful to casual users arriving from Google.

I imagine I'm a typical AHK user: I've been using AHK for years, but I don't have a great understanding of AHK syntax; about once a year, I want to remap a few key combinations, so I figure it out. (I doubt I need to defend such users in this subforum, but remember that the tagline on autohotkey.com...

Unclear instructions on how to send a modifier key on its own

I wanted to remap RWin to RCtrl. The documentation at https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/Send.htm was misleading: To send the corresponding modifier key on its own, enclose the key name in braces. To just press (hold down) or release the key, follow the key name with the word "down" or "up" as...

Accept "down" in hotkeys silently

At https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/Hotkeys.htm : *LWin::Send {LControl down} *LWin Up::Send {LControl up} I'm sure I'm not the only one who, implementing something like this, typed: *LWin Down::Send {LControl down} *LWin Up::Send {LControl up} ...and spent some time confusedly debugging until I real...

Re: AutoHotkey v2.0-beta.1

Any further changes prior to the final v2.0.0 release should be of a minor nature (such as improvements to the error and warning dialogs), and should not affect the functionality of scripts. In other words, future releases are expected to be backward-compatible. Does this mean backward-compatible w...

Re: Do we expect breaking changes?

The wording in the cited post isn't clear to me: does this mean that future releases of v2.x will be backward-compatible with v2.0, or will be backward-compatible with v1.x?

This should fix it :)
Hey, sorry for the very late reply - but I want to confirm that this works! I hope you're still around and see this someday, because it was a clever fix and it's been serving me well, and I wanted to thank you.

Re: Want to activate certain hotkeys only If GetKeyState(CapsLock, "p")

Ahhhh, this is so close! Just one problem: when I use the capslock as a modifier, and produce a Greek letter, it also turns CapsLock on. I'm not sure why this happens when there's the condition '&& (A_PriorKey = "CapsLock")', but it does happen, regardless of whether I release the letter or the Caps...

Re: Want to activate certain hotkeys only If GetKeyState(CapsLock, "p")

Thanks, that works! However, it conflicts with my prior solution to prevent CapsLock from toggling: ; Must double tap CapsLock to toggle CapsLock mode on or off. CapsLock:: KeyWait, CapsLock ; Wait forever until Capslock is released. KeyWait, CapsLock, D T0.2 ; ErrorLevel = 1 if CapsLock not down wi...

Want to activate certain hotkeys only If GetKeyState(CapsLock, "p")

User story: I want to use CapsLock as a modifier to use the Greek alphabet (I'm a physics student). Because I want capital letters with Shift, I need it to respond to CapsLock + Shift + [letter key] combinations. This old post suggests that the following should work: CapsLock & +g::SendInput,Γ +Caps...
