Hi,

I am wondering if Fastkeys can replicate a problem which has been solved in AHK which is when Alt is pressed in some programs the menu UI is highlighted and allows the user to navigate it through keys. This is a problem for me in some programs where this menu takes a while to load and delays it from performing the next tab, when I am trying to do Alt tab.

There is an equivalent AHK script created here:

But I cannot work out how to use this with Fastkeys?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

The actual AHK script code for left Alt key is

Code: Select all

~LAlt::
Sendinput {Blind}{sc0E9}
KeyWait, LAlt ; this wasit for the key to be RELEASED. So that it doesn't keep spamming SC0E9 (as seen from an AHK window Key history and script info... window.)
Sendinput {Blind}{sc0EA}
return
In FastKeys:
Shortcut: ~LAlt (double click on the shortcut field to enter)
Type: Command
Command:

Code: Select all

Sendinput {Blind}{sc0E9}
KeyWait, LAlt ; this wasit for the key to be RELEASED. So that it doesn't keep spamming SC0E9 (as seen from an AHK window Key history and script info... window.)
Sendinput {Blind}{sc0EA}
return
