Remapping Ctrl-Alt-Arrow in Windows 10 using AutoHotkey

Question

I am trying to remap Ctrl-Alt-Right and Ctrl-Alt-Left to imitate Ctrl-Win-Right and Ctrl-Win-Left, respectively. I followed the instructions given in this post, and succeeded in mapping Ctrl-Arrow to give the correct result, but when I change the script to

#NoTrayIcon
!^Right::^#Right
!^Left::^#Left

and run it, my desired functionality is not achieved. Why is this? How can I fix it?

Solution

Try

!^Right:: send {LWin down}{LCtrl down}{Right}{LWin up}{LCtrl up}

or

!^Right:: sendevent {LWin down}{LCtrl down}{Right down}{LWin up}{LCtrl up}{Left up}

That worked! Thank you so much! Do you have any idea why the other way did not work?

"!^Right" isn't a key you can replace by another one. It's a combination of three keys.
