Autohotkey - I am left handed and would like CTRL - UP to work like WIN - TAB

I have been trying for a couple of hour to try and get CTRL - UPKEY to work as WIN - TAB. This is similar to Mac actually but would help me a lot as a leftie.

^Up::#Tab

is the closest I got but not working.

You were very close! As @user3419297 mentioned, one working solution would be ^Up::Send #{Tab}. Here is why this new syntax works as opposed to the original one:

  1. If we wish to create a hotkey to send inputs more than a basic Key a --> Key b remapping (for which your original syntax would work), we need to use the Send command.

Edit: This would actually proper syntax normally- the reason it didn't work had to do with SendMode Blind that a::b remappings use.

(current code at this point: ^Up::Send #Tab)

  1. Because Tab is a special key, we need to surround it by curly braces {} in order to convey this to AutoHotkey.

Final code:

^Up::Send #{Tab}

Hope this helped you understand why these differences are needed. Feel free to let me know if you need more clarification on this!
