So I’ve been trying to rebind the alt key on my keyboard to the discord push to talk key `. I want this rebind to only to work while in wow.
I have tried SO MANY THINGS in ahk. And many things work outside of wow, but when I open up wow and press lalt, instead of ` being sent, lalt is sent instead. It’s been driving me nuts.
I made a thread here about all my attempts:

I just tried a suggestion found elsewhere on this forum:
$*lalt::
While GetKeyState("lalt","P")
{
Sendinput {Blind}{vkDFsc029 down}
Sleep, 100
}
Return
$*lalt up:: Sendinput {Blind}{vkDFsc029 up}
It worked while I was on my bank alt for about 2 min. I did a dance, and logged to my main to test…and it stopped working. Now it won’t even work while I’m on my bank alt.
From your thread here on this forum, what I understand is…I need to UNBIND ALT from absolutely everything in wow? So I need to remove the alt conditional from all my macros. Remove all the macros that are bound to something like alt+p. Remove all the main game keybinds that use alt. Effectively remove alt from the game entirely. And after I do all that, THEN I can rebind alt to my push to talk button and it should work?
So the only way I can use ahk to rebind alt to another key is to completely eliminate the possibility of using alt in wow? Leaving me with only two conditional buttons to work with, shift and control?
That seems insane! Is this really true?
Edit: And what about isboxer? What if I want to use alt there? I genuinely don’t think I can use my FTL isboxer setup if alt doesn’t work.
