Disable Disruptive Hotkeys While Gaming with This Script

Disable Disruptive Hotkeys While Gaming with This Script


Some keyboard keys can be a nuisance for gamers (ever accidentally hit the Windows key while gaming?) The How-To Geek saves us from accidentally ripping ourselves out of our games and other hotkey mishaps with a script.


Instead of prying the Windows key off of your computer, you can download AutoHotKey, the awesome dead-simple scripting program, and disable the keys when a game is running. Then you can re-enable them when you're done gaming.


The script is simple, and presented in a commented fashion so you can easily comment the keys in or out of use. Just download AutoHotkey (if you haven't already) and paste the following into a text file with the .ahk extension:



; Disable Alt+Tab


!Tab::Return


; Disable Windows Key + Tab


#Tab::Return


; Disable Left Windows Key


LWin::Return


; Disable Right Windows Key


RWin::Return



This will disable Alt+Tab, Windows+Tab, and both Windows keys. You can find all of How-To Geek's guidance on temporarily disabling your the Windows, Alt+Tab, and Sticky keys at the link below.
