Question

I’ve got a global command like this

!i::Send {Up} (pressing alt+I will move the caret up)

There is an application that uses Alt+I as a shortcut for an action that I’d like to call while still retaining my own custom shortcut. I’d like to remap this app’s action to Ctrl+I

Within a proper WinExists, I’ve tried ^i::Send !{i} but that just moves the caret up.
I tried ^i::!i but that sends Ctrl+Alt+I and not Alt+I.

Any ideas? Thanks

Gabe,

Try this…

SetTitleMatchMode, 2 ; Accept the title search string to be found anywhere in title

#ifWinnotActive yourappname ; use windowspy to find a unique title string
!i::Send {Up}
#ifWinActive

This will set !i to behave just like you want in ALL programs except for the one you want to keep the special behaviour.

Alternatively, you could add a $ to the triggers, so they will not call each other like this:

$!i::Send, {Up}
$^i::Send, !i
