autohotkey trigger on windows+shift+right brings up start menu when key is released

Question

If I have a command that fires on Windows + Shift + Right, the problem is that when I release the keys the start menu pops up. You can see it even with this script which should do nothing. Is there a way to stop that from happening.

#+Right::Return

I think you're going to have to use GetKeyState. – 2501 Sep 16 '16 at 13:26 — 2501, Sep 16 '16 at 13:26

The start menu gets triggered on the release of the Win key. Though your test script works on my end (AHK_L v1.1.23.01) you can try adding this:

#+Right Up::return ; Do nothing on key release

That still triggers the start menu for me. Maybe it is a Windows 10 thing? – Derek Sep 22 '16 at 11:22
Could be, i'll have a look later on my Win10 system at home. – MayaS Sep 23 '16 at 10:26

Try this and see if it works:

#+Right::
KeyWait, LWin
; some stuff
Return

Still brings up the start menu - even as is - I didn't bother adding any "some stuff" yet :) – Derek Nov 15 '16 at 11:59

This work in my case.

#H::     ;do something
#+H Up:: return

#RButton::     ;do something
#LButton Up::  Send {VKFF}

Just return or send another key to prevent it.
