Using Ctrl+Shift+Alt in AutoHotKey

votes

I'm trying to use AutoHotKey to control my media. I have the following set which does not work:

;--- Ctrl+Shift+Alt to play/pause media ---
^+!::Send {Media_Play_Pause}`

The following does work:

;--- Ctrl+Shift+NumPad Divide to play/pause media ---
^+NumpadDiv::Send {Media_Play_Pause}`

Is there a way to make the Ctrl+Shift+Alt key binding work to play/pause media?

You can do something like

^+Alt::Send {Media_Play_Pause}

but this requires you to first hold down Control and Shift before pressing Alt.

However, we can mimic this mapping for all 3 potential final keys and we should be fine

Code:
^+Alt::
^!Shift::
+!Control::
Send {Media_Play_Pause}
return
