AHK "Alt Tab"(Task Switcher) exactly as Windows 8.1 does, n using the same hotkeys "Alt Tab" n "Shift Alt Tab"

25 May 2018, 08:43

Hi, I'm running a large AHK with UI Access
this script has lots of hotkeys, many of them use "Key Tab" as a modifier (eg. Tab & Space::), so my "Key Tab" native function got disabled, hence the default Windows 8.1 "Alt Tab" doesn't work.
I would like a script that could perform "Alt Tab"(Task Switcher) exactly as Windows 8.1 does, n using the same hotkeys "Alt Tab" n "Shift Alt Tab"
I read the manual, but it offers strange hotkeys to perform "Alt Tab"(Task Switcher) I just would like to renable the hotkeys of Windows 8.1 "Alt Tab" n "Shift Alt Tab" or a script that would emlue it,
many thanks advanced.

not an answer to your query, but why Tab, why not move all these hotkeys to CapsLock + whatever, then have Ctrl+Capslock toggle the actual capslock or smth

Hallo,
or reactivate the native "Key Tab" function with

Code: Select all

~Tab::Return
But maybe it can have side effects.

Hi Rohwedder, thanks for reply but despite your script did reactivate the "key Tab" native function, it also doomed all my subrouts of hotkeys "Tab & anotherKey::"
I'm looking for a script using AHK's "AltTab", n "ShiftAltTab" commands, that could work with "!Tab::" n "+!Tab" hotkeys,
many thanks advanced.
In the end "AltTabMenu" did it, I was using "AltTab" my fault.
