Question

How would you remap Ctrl+P to send Ctrl+↑ (Up) consistently?
Here is what I tried:

capslock::ctrl
^p::send {up}

While holding Ctrl this sends ↑ the first time,
but then P unless I release Ctrl and then press it again.

I found that it also happens with something like this:

OriginKey::DestinationKey
*DestinationKey & normalKey::maptoAnother

Without releasing the artificial modifier it keeps inserting normalKey NOT maptoAnother.

Here is what I ended up using:

capslock::ctrl
^p::send ^{up}

{blind} can also be used in this case, because it avoids releasing Ctrl

^p::send {blind}{up}
