Turn CTRL+APPS into CTRL+SHIFT
Posted: 19 Jun 2021, 21:52
Hello All,
I recently got my hands on this keyboard:
https://trulyergonomic.com/ergonomic-keyboards/best-truly-ergonomic-mechanical-keyboard/
I'm trying to update my standard AHK script to add a new functionality. Because of the physical layout of the keyboard, I remapped (using the builtin keyboard firmware) some of central keys as the APPS key and the CTRL key. Now, I'm trying to map the combination of APPS+CTRL to send CTRL+SHIFT; that would allow me to press CTRL+SHIFT+other-button easily, but I just can't get it to work.
I've tried a few things, along the line of this:
I'm on AHK version: 1.1.30.03
I use the APPS key + other keys to send navigation commands, such as Left, Right, Home, End, etc.
Please find attached my current script. Everything in there works fine, except the APPS+CTRL combo.
