AutoHotKey：使 Win+Tab 充当 Alt+Tab，但将所有其他 Win+ 组合重新映射为 Ctrl+

Question

I am trying to make my MacBook in Windows behave similar to macOS: so I can switch between apps using Win + Tab (ie, replicate the Alt+Tab action), but have all the Ctrl + ... actions (like, Ctrl + C , Ctrl + V , Ctrl + Z , etc) be accessible using the Win key ( Win + C , Win + V , Win + Z ).

In other words, I am trying to :

1. Remap Win key to Ctrl in all key combinations, but also
2. Have the Win + Tab act exactly as Alt + Tab (and I don't care if Ctrl + Tab stops working as Ctrl + Tab , because I am not using that key combination at all).

I am able to separately individually achieve 1. using LWin::Ctrl , and 2. using LWin & Tab::AltTab , but I cannot make them work together. Whenever I have something like

LWin::Ctrl
LWin & Tab::AltTab

or

LWin::Ctrl
Ctrl & Tab::AltTab

it just stops working.

Any help is appreciated. I am using Windows 10.

Did you try to use the symbols like documented here ?

For your snippet that would mean:

LWin::Ctrl
LWin & Tab::Send, !{Tab}

There is a problem with this, as it simulates closed keystokes (regard !{Tab} as {Alt Down}{Tab}{Alt Up} . If you want to press and hold Win and then use Tab (or eventually tab multiple times), this doesn't work. To adress this issue, I found three main workarounds:

1. )

Let Alt stick to being pressed down:

LWin::Ctrl
LWin & Tab::Send, {Alt Down}{Tab}
LWin & Capslock::Send, {Alt Up} ;Suppose you won't use that hotkey elsewhere

2. )

Use something this solution by 2501 :

h::AltTabMenu  ; Opens the menu. Press second time to close.
n::AltTab      ; Alt-Tabs through forwards
m::ShiftAltTab ; Alt-Tabs through backwards

The underlying principles/functionalities are documented here .

3. ) Dig into AHK really deep: here (which is referenced in 1 )

Annotation: Be aware that

<#::Ctrl
<#Tab::!Tab

does not work as Windows then handles the win key on its own first. You can verify This by testing:

<#::
MsgBox test
return
<#Tab::
MsgBox test
return
