Yesterday I asked how I could disable or reassign the infamous CAPS LOCK key. The accepted answer pointed me to AutoHotkey, a powerful free, open-source utility for Windows for automating key strokes and mouse clicks.
The tool includes a script language and even a compiler (!) and it seems to work very well. For example, I managed to map the middle mouse button to the ALT-TAB key combination using this script in Windows Vista:
MButton::AltTabAndMenu
return
Now, I wanted to do the same reassigning the CAPS LOCK key to ALT-TAB:
CapsLock::AltTabAndMenu
return
But this doesn't have the desired effect. Instead of showing the "ALT TAB" running applications menu, it shows the Vista Start menu, as if I had hit the WIN key.
Any suggestions?
You may consider mapping this authotkey script to capslock. It's more efficient than alt-tab if you have lots of windows: http://lifehacker.com/5278802/iswitchw-finds-windows-as-you-type
