LWin::
{
    ; Wait for 0.5 seconds (500 milliseconds)
    KeyWait("LWin", "T0.5")
    if !GetKeyState("LWin", "P") ; If the key is released before 0.5 seconds
    {
        Send("{Alt Down}{Space}{Alt Up}") ; Send Alt + Space
        Return
    }

    ; If the key is still held down after 0.5 seconds, allow normal behavior
    Send("{LWin Down}")
    KeyWait("LWin") ; Wait until the key is released
    Send("{LWin Up}")
    Return
}

Would love a better solution.
