Disable a key and use another one instead

[Master_T]

Hi everyone

I have a laptop with a faulty spacebar (sends random keystrokes even when not pressed) so I wanted to use AHK to disable the spacebar and use a different key instead.
However, I can't figure out how to do this.

I've tried this way:

Code: Select all

Space::return
RWin::Space

But this doesn't work. The spacebar is disabled, but the RWin key is not acting as an "alternative spacebar" as I want.
I also tried:

Code: Select all

Space::return
RWin::Send {Space}

but same result.

Is there a way to do what I want?

Welcome to the forum!
This works for me:

Code: Select all

$Space::return
RWin::Space

The $ prevents that RWin triggers Space::return and gets disabled, too.
