Clean up key release order of Alt+Tab

[cfm]

When switching tasks with Alt+Tab in windows. How can I make sure tab is released before alt?

My issue is that I often release both Alt and Tab virtually at the same time and I might end up with a Tab-release sendt to the target window. This results in the focus shifting away from where I left it.

I have tried both supressing Alt-up and taking over Alt-Tab altogether, but I can't find a way to clean up the order of key releases. The best I've been able to do is make it beep at me every time I release Alt before Tab.

Code: Select all

~*LAlt Up::
{
    if(GetKeyState("Tab", "P")){
        ; SendPlay("{Tab Up}")
        SoundBeep(1760, 100) ; A6
    }
}

(currently using both v1.1 and v2)

Try:

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0
#SingleInstance Force

~*LAlt Up:: {
    Hotkey "Tab", TabBlock
    SetTimer TabOff, -2000 ; for testing a large value, adjust as needed...
}

TabBlock(*) {
    Return
}

TabOff() {
    Hotkey "Tab", "Off"
}

Esc:: ExitApp ; for safely testing...
