I can't type space when my AutoHotKey script is running?

Question

I'm new to AHK.

I am trying to create a script that is a better version of alt-tab and shift-alt-tab.

So far I have:

Space & L::AltTab
Space & K::ShiftAltTab

and it works, but when I try to type a space in normal writing, it doesn't work (I have to close the script in task manager).

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Try with ~

~Space & L::AltTab
~Space & K::ShiftAltTab

Answer 2

You can add a ~ in front of the hotkey so it isn't consumed.

~Space & L::AltTab
~Space & K::ShiftAltTab
