Need help my script acts as a toggle

[knut55]

Okay so I'm in dire need of some help ith my script. Now my laptop keyboard is missing the Alt gr key and so I want my right Alt key to simulate a Ctrl + Shift combination. To use some symbols on my number row I have to hold down Ctlr + Shift at the same time and then press on 1,2,3...0 key. Now I got this script but it seems to work more like a toggle. I just press Left Alt once and it is held forever it seems, very odd. What I want is to have Ctrl ánd Shift held as long as I myself holds down the Left Alt key. This is my code:

Code: Select all

RAlt::
	Send, {Ctrl down}{Alt down}
Return

I'm very sorry if this is a studpid question but I just can't find the answer to this one.

Hello and welcome. Try this,

Code: Select all

*RAlt::Send {Ctrl down}{Shift down}
*RAlt up::Send {Ctrl up}{Shift up}

Hello and welcome. Try this,

Code: Select all

*RAlt::Send {Ctrl down}{Shift down}
*RAlt up::Send {Ctrl up}{Shift up}

I tried this but with

Code: Select all

*RAlt::Send {Ctrl down}{Alt down}
*RAlt up::Send {Ctrl up}{Alt up}

Still is the same result.

How do I do the same thing but with two keys at the same time? That is: I want to simulate the Alt Gr key with two other keys on the left side. The funny thing is that the following script works on my english laptop keyboard but not on my Swedish usb keyboard it atcs as an toggle:

Code: Select all

LAlt & f::Send {Ctrl down}{Alt down}
LAlt & f up::Send {Ctrl up}{Alt up}

If I look on the AHK window on my laptop I can see that the down and up commands are fired but on my pc with usb keyboard only the down keys are fired.
I Also tried just remapping the number keys directly like this:

Code: Select all

Alt & 2:: 
	Send, @
Return

Alt & 3:: 
	Send, £
Return

But it does nohting. Not even this works:

Code: Select all

2:: 
	Send, @
Return

This still prints '2' when I hit the 2 key. Shouldn't it print @ instead?
Is there some special code when using the number row?

Code: Select all

2:: 
	Send, @
Return

This still prints '2' when I hit the 2 key. Shouldn't it print @ instead?

Try with numpad2:: if that doesn't work find out the scan code of the key https://autohotkey.com/docs/KeyList.htm#SpecialKeys and try with it.
