I've been wondering if there is such thing as an Alt + Tab toggle for when one is playing a game.

So here's the concept I'm after:

A toggle like F9 to disable and enable Alt + Tab so one doesn't accidently Alt + Tab out of the game/program (Valorant in my case).

    Likely an AutoHotKey script could do it. But, the downside would be, if you disable those keys, what if in game things are bound to Alt and Tab? – nightsurfer Jan 08 '21 at 16:16

    Some gaming keyboards have a "game mode", which blocks certain keys like the Windows key. Maybe there's a keyboard with a similar mode that can specifically block Alt+Tab? – Nolonar Jan 08 '21 at 16:54

You can use AutoHotKey. The script in question would be:

!Tab::
return

to disable the key, or to rebind it something like (rebinding to F8):

!Tab::F8

Use F9 to toggle on Alt + Tab:

IsEnabled := 1
F9::
if (IsEnabled = 1) {
    IsEnabled := 0
} else if(IsEnabled = 0) {
 IsEnabled := 1
}
return
#If IsEnabled
!Tab::
return
