how to write windows key AHK script?

[MANISH7]

forgive me for my lack of knowledge on this matter but i don't know how to write AHK scripts. it is so complicated for a seemingly modest request.  

i just want the (1) right alt to be windows key and (2) right control to be right mouse click (3) pause break mutes the volume (4) left control + down arrow lowers volume (5) right control + up arrow increases the volume.

i tried some sample scripts listed at the AKK website but i didn't know how to customize it. i have a cherry mx11800 & windows 7. i did a search prior to this thread. everyone recommended AHK but writing scripts is another matter. can someone please help me?

You can learn a lot from the built-in help even though it can be confusing at first (right click the green H in the system tray while you have any AHK script running and choose help.)
I copied all the volume code from someone else's script though. :smile:

very kind of you and i appreciate it.

 control + up or down arrow work to change volume but only after i click on the volume bar.

EDIT: sorry for the mix up. the rest work great thanks for your kind help! volume up and down isn't a big deal.

i apologize! windows key works, right mouse click works, pause button for mute works too! sorry i didn't set it up right the first time! thanks a lot!

well everything seems to work fine. i think ahk is a little buggy on windows 7 for now. the left control + down arrow lowers the volume. left control + up arrow will not increase the volume. however, right control + up arrow will increase the volume. right control + down arrow does not lower the volume. so i mix and match and it works.

i will back up this script for future uses.

thanks so much for your help. i'm all set. i really appreciate it.

Maybe I read your original post too literally. You can change the places where it says LCtrl or RCtrl to simply Ctrl where you want either control key to work.

hey thanks so much. sorry about that - i did not realize that i had miswritten my original post. i made the corrections you suggested and everything is now working flawlessly! i'm glad you took my post literally - that is how i always mean them. i just made a typo. yesterday i had a long day

thanks to your mod there's nothing more i could want from my cherry keyboard. it's excellent. it's got the windows keys & media buttons that i needed. i really appreciate it! you've resolved for me everything.
