I have the following script to switch my windows key and alt key:

#NoEnv  ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
; #Warn  ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.
SendMode Input  ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%  ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.

#UseHook

#InstallKeybdHook
SetTitleMatchMode 2
SendMode Input

LAlt::LWin
LWin::LAlt

return

My problem is, when I try to alt-tab with my new hotkey using win-tab, sometimes it doesn't work. I notice this especially when I try to alt-tab after not using the hotkey for awhile - it will only register the tab.

Why is this? I got #UseHook from another post, but it didn't help. If the answer to this has already been posted somewhere, please let me know where to go.

What is the purpose of using hook commands in your script?

I'm not sure - I'm new to ahk, so followed what others did. Is that causing the issue?

I don't really understand the sense of your code.
You either remap it, or you don't.

Remove LAlt::LWin if you want your lwin key to behave like LAlt.

Cheers!

Wouldn't I be just left with two keys with the same functionality then? I'm trying to swap their actions.
