Hey all. I've done a whole bunch of stuff with AutoHotKey, and this seems like something I should be able to figure out myself, but nothing's springing to mind at the moment, so I figured I would ask. Is there any way to change the behavior of the Enter key so that pressing the Enter key by itself does not register and Enter press, but that you need to hold Shift and press Enter in order to register an Enter press? Basically, the goal of this is to eliminate accidental Enter presses (in particular, when typing in a field where pressing Enter results in submitting the field). Thanks for any help, it's much appreciated.

$enter::return
+enter::Send {enter}

 

The $ modifier is to make sure that when AHK performs Send {enter} that it doesn't trigger the enter hotkey itself. There are other ways to ensure that wouldn't happen, but this is a simple method for it.
