I changed keyboards. Now I have a right windows key but not left. Left work(ed)s for my simple script of
#TAB
send #t
return
this cycles through the windows on my taskbar.
but it doesn't work when using the right windows key.
Left win and tab act normal, right win and tab don't get recognized.
Left win and 't' act normal, right win and 't' pops up the hover preview for my first window, but doesn't autorepeat/cycle through them like if you use the left win key with 't'-- so, SOMETHING different seems to be going on.
I love AHK but random bits like this always stump me :( :( :(
edit: here's the readout from Key History/Script Info. I don't have ANY other lines in this script or my other one watching for Win keys--

I guess my next question to google is, "what's LControl doing in there?"
