How to make eclipse allow autohotkey shortcuts to work?

Since eclipse doesn't have functionality to easily switch which split-screen editor you're using I tried writing an Autohotkey script to just click on the upper corner of the halves.

The AHK script works great... in any application except Eclipse. It seems that eclipse binds the shortcut and won't let go of it. I have removed all instances of ctrlup/down from the general --> keys in eclipse preferences.

How can I make eclipse relinquish control of this shortcut?

The test script in question (I'm testing with just up, will add down once this works):

Try this code:

Loop
{
        if (GetKeyState("CTRL"))
        {
                if (GetKeyState("UP"))
                {
                        Click 901, 81
                }
        }
}
