Why is the alt not released in this hotkey. !q::click ? Topic is solved

[Sally2Q]

!q::click when used in chrome causes the alt click shortcut to fire. Meaning chrome still sees the alt as held down when it clicks
The way autohotkey is supposed to work is that when a hotkey uses an alt or a ctrl etc , it's supposed to be temporarily released. But it's not doing that here for some reason.

Have to do something like
!q up:: click

So, why isn't the alt released?

Hallo,
see: https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/Click.htm#Remarks
Unlike Send, the Click command does not automatically release the modifier keys (Ctrl, Alt, Shift, and Win). For example, if Ctrl is currently down, Click would produce a control-click but Send {Click} would produce a normal click.

Great info, thanks.
