Disabling the ALT key only for triggered menus Topic is solved

[paik1002]

I would like to disable the menu enabling function triggered via the ALT key, in applications such as IE or PDF-XChange.

However, for obvious reasons I would still like to use the ALT key as a hotkey modifier.

Could it be done?

By the way, the following script does not seem to disable the menu for many applications, e.g. IE, PDF-XChange.

Code: Select all

ALT::return

Hallo,
disabling works with:

Code: Select all

Alt::Esc

but it blocks the ALT key as an hotkey modifier.

No blocking the ALT key as an hotkey modifier with:

Code: Select all

~Alt::
	KeyWait, Alt
	Send, {Alt}
Return

but disabling menus works dirty!

Sorry, but I don't think that your scipts work as intended.
The menu is not perfectly disabled, and the modifier seems to trigger the wrong function. Very odd.
There seems also to be some reliability issues.

Code: Select all

 	~Alt::
KeyWait, Alt

 	~Alt Up::
Send, {Alt Up}

Thank you GEV.

It seems to work great, for at least the applications that I am using. ALT as a modifier now functions without being interfered by the menu intervention.

Thank you for this post.

I've also had sucess with combination if this solution and another one from stackoverflow.

Code: Select all

Alt::
KeyWait, Alt
return

LAlt Up::
if (A_PriorKey = "Alt")
	return
return
