Are hotkeys case-sensitive? 'a::' is equal to 'A::'?

Regarding case-sensitivity, in Hotkeys vs Send I read that, by contrast with Send, "^a:: and ^A:: are equivalent". I tried making

Code: Select all

a::b
A::c
and the second fires when I press SHIFT (as expected).

Am I missing something?

Reason: Topic moved to v2 help, since the included link goes to the v2 docs.

Remapping a key differs from using a hotkey with the Send command. https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/v2/misc/Remap.htm#Remap
