Why does it have to be the Windows key? Why can't you use the Alt key instead?

Right, I can see this is more complicated than I thought... I understand the sporadical triggering now but couldn't find a way around it. It seems to happen only with the mouse wheel, though.

It doesn't have to be the Windows key. I already created another shortcut for ctrl-shift-scroll to fall back to. The Windows key just seemed the most convenient when I first started this. I didn't anticipate that this would be a major hassle to get it to work, and I figured this might be a known issue with some way around it.

Yeah, thanks for the help though. It does seem like a bug, so maybe it can be fixed in a future release. In the meantime, I'll just use a different shortcut.

Post it in the Issues and Bugs forum. Make sure you link it to this topic too.

It's been some time since this was posted but today I have accidently found the solution to this issue.
#WheelDown::
Send {Blind}{Volume_Down}
return

#WheelUp::
Send {Blind}{Volume_Up}
return

#WheelDown

SendInput {Volume_Down}

return

I beg to differ. Try to hold the windows key and scroll the wheel up and down for some time and the Windows menu will be triggered eventually. Only with {blind} this is avoided because the script won't try to release the modifiers before sending the keys.
