L Alt key but not the R Alt key

[2davidc8]

How can I define a hotkey sequence that specifies only the left Alt key, but not the right key? I want to reserve the right Alt for something else.
I'm a newbie here. If this question has already been answered, please direct me to it.
Thanks!

Code: Select all

LAlt::MsgBox, Hello

So, are you saying that I can use "LAlt" instead of "!" ?
For example, "LAlt/::" instead of "!/::" ?

Sorry, I thought you wanted to use it alone, not as a modifier. Per the documentation that mikeyww linked, your example would be <!/::

Cool! Thanks, @mikeyww and @boiler!
