I have a keyboard that doesn't have a R-Win key, but software that I use requires R-Win specifically for some keyboard shortcuts. I'm trying to remap the R-Ctrl key I never use to R-Win using AutoHotKey. I have used this simple remapping so far:

RCtrl::RWin

This works fine when using R-Ctrl on its own. but when using R-Ctrl in conjunction with R-Alt to simulate R-Win + R-Alt, I get an extra R-Ctrl signal when debugging in keyboard tester programs. This causes the keyboard shortcut to not work in the software I'm using.

Anybody have an idea how to get a completely functional R-Win key on my keyboard that didn't come with one using AutoHotKey?

  • Do you mean to use AppsKey instead of RWin? RCtrl::AppsKey

  • No I mean R-Win. A keyboard shortcut in the software, for example, is R-Win + R-Alt + N. It's extremely particular and only works with R-Win, not L-Win. Feb 18, 2015 at 20:58

  • Thanks for this! Unfortunately this has a similar problem to the OP code where it works fine when pressing R-Ctrl by itself. But if I press R-Ctrl and R-Alt, I get a R-Ctrl and R-Alt keycode sent with no R-Win at all. This is according to PassMark KeyboardTest. The other software doesn't recognize the shortcut either.
