Autohotkey script to disable ALT key

**Fantasticone** · 12-22-2016, 07:10 PM

Bane of my existence, all methods I tried from googling did not work. Anyone know a script that prevents the press from registering period?

That's for Windows Key:

Code:

~LWin Up:: 
~RWin Up::

That's for Alt Key:

Code:

LAlt::return
RAlt::return

Edit: Note that if you hit ctrl+alt or anything else that is not "alt" alone, alt will still work. You're stuck adding every potential combinations one by one. It should be fine if you're slipping from letters into "Alt" accidentally etc.

e.g:

Code:

CapsLock::      ; CapsLock
+CapsLock::	; Shift+CapsLock
!CapsLock::	; Alt+CapsLock
^CapsLock::     ; Ctrl+CapsLock
#CapsLock::	; Win+CapsLock
^!CapsLock::	; Ctrl+Alt+CapsLock
^!#CapsLock::	; Ctrl+Alt+Win+CapsLock

That would be what it would look like for CapsLock with multiple possibilities.

in b4 headache.

I use a program called sharpkeys to disable Ctrl, alt, windows key etc while I'm playing, this is better thought since I already have AHK since I'm a runescape nerd

Ctrl + o is the bane of my existence

If you're looking for an AutoHotKey script to disable the ALT keys on your keyboard, the correct key setup is

RAlt::r
LAlt::r

Left alt & Right alt becomes 'R' key inputs. I use thko as my setup so I never have an issue with the alt key again in that regard. If you want to disable windows keys as well, Hakulyte's post is correct. I have a keyboard that specially disables windows key for me though so I've never used it myself.

I don't think it's ever worked with having no output for a key in Autohotkey scripts, but just make the key output some key that you don't ever use and has no affect on your gameplay.

LAlt::return

I didn't even realize my alt script didn't work until you two mentioned it. Good find. xd
