Make AutoHotKey ignore Alt as menu key

Question

I\'m trying to use autohotkey to simulate elements of Mac keyboard on a PC (Windows) keyboard. My muscle memory reaches for the Command key for simple tasks like copying and pas

Answer 1

This prevents the left-hand side Alt key from activating the menu bar for most applications (under Windows 7 and AutoHotkey 1.1.11.01):

~LAlt Up:: return

It doesn't work with Internet Explorer but I don't use IE often anyway. :)

BTW, I also killed the annoying start menu popup via:

~LWin Up:: return
~RWin Up:: return
