Disable Ctrl Key in Photoshop using AHK

Question

This is what I have tried. LCtrl is disabled successfully but all the shortcuts using Ctrl such as Ctrl+Z are also disabled. I don't know why {vkE8} isn't working.

#IfWinActive ahk_exe Photoshop.exe
    LCtrl::send, {Blind}{vkE8}
#IfWinActive

Answer 1

Try this:

; Sends Ctrl+key after releasing LControl:

#IfWinActive ahk_exe Photoshop.exe

    LCtrl:: Send {Blind}{vkE8}
    
    LCtrl Up::
        If (A_PriorKey != "LControl")
            Send ^%A_PriorKey%
    return

#IfWinActive

EDIT:

This should work:

#IfWinActive ahk_exe Photoshop.exe

    LCtrl:: Send {Blind}{vkE8}
    
    ; In this case it is necessary to define a combination by using "<^+key",
    ; to avoid that LControl loses its modifier function:

    <^a:: Send ^a

#IfWinActive

<^ means LControl.
