How to remap arrow keys with AutoHotkey?

I want to remap my arrow keys to WASD but only for Royals instead of hardware remapping, I've tried running in admin but it doesn't work.
Does anyone familiar with or have been using it?

 

Code:

#IfWinActive ahk_exe MapleRoyals.exe

a::Left
s::Down
d::Right
w::Up
return

This should work, also make sure you're using AHK v1 and not v2.

 

also if you want to be able to toggle it on and off with ` so you can type in chat, you can add this

Code:

*`::
Suspend ;Suspend Hotkeys off/on
Pause,, 1 ;Pause Script off/on
Return

 

Thanks all for answering, by the way does L-Win key remapping not work properly in Royals? I'm now trying to utilize that key with the similar trick but seems that the game disabled it completely

 

MapleRoyals disable Windows key somehow, pretty weird.

 

Alright that means I still have to hardware rebind on the two win keys I guess
Thanks for answering.

 

I personally switched off from AHK to windows PowerToys. AHK seemed to have a lot of issues with keys getting stuck. Only downside so far with powertoys is that it's a bit tedious to change between farming/bossing keys if you have different setups and switch often. Its very straightforward though with remapping your keys. Recommend both still.

 

I've just tried for a 10 minute boss run and I also felt the issue of stucking. But PowerToys can't actually satisfy me because I can't remap everything freely when it comes to per-program remapping(I wanted to remap my alt-tab but it doesn't allow me to), there is no difference between PowerToys and my original hardware level remapping, means I have to sacrificed the convenience of playing Royals and chatting at same time.
Evantually I just switched back to hardware so at least I don't have to install anything

 

If you're not on a laptop and have a gaming keyboard you can use their software to remap or if you have a custom keyboard, then you can probably use VIA like I do.

The second key to the right of my spacebar switches back and forth between the layers so it's not automatic but it's just the press of one button. It worked well for me when I switched between farming and chatting.

 

I'm have similar settings as yours, just mine are saved on the keyboard itself though.
However my original goal was 0 button is still much better than 1 because I don't have to tell my brain doing an extra task when switching to Discord, that's why I went to try AHK and other things.

 

You could try playing royals on a VM and changing your keyboard mapping with some type of software on that VM but that may introduce different issues.
