Yes, your understanding is correct (I use that for SSH session into my
remote Linux box). The biggest benefit I got from AutoHotKey is now I
can use the right Alt key in Putty sessions, since I mapped the right
Alt key to the left Alt key.
I don't understand why under Putty, a lot of control keys work out of
box on editors like "nano", but it is so twisted to have them work in
Emacs. As much as I like Emacs, I think people dreaming in "Emacs is
(nearly) perfect" need to wake up.
Here is some example key bindings from my emacs config:
--------------
;; this is inside my org-mode-hook
;; Alternative key binding for putty. basically Meta is replaced with
C-x, Ctrl is
;; replaced with C-c
;; for M-up/down/left/right
(define-key org-mode-map [(control x) up] 'org-metaup)
(define-key org-mode-map [(control x) down] 'org-metadown)
(define-key org-mode-map [(control x) left] 'org-metaleft)
(define-key org-mode-map [(control x) right] 'org-metaright)
;; for C-up/down/left/right
(define-key org-mode-map [(control c) up] 'org-shiftup)
(define-key org-mode-map [(control c) down] 'org-shiftdown)
(define-key org-mode-map [(control c) left] 'org-shiftleft)
(define-key org-mode-map [(control c) right] 'org-shiftright)
;; actually, M-return works in putty. So we use "C-x return" to do
"M-S return"
(local-unset-key (kbd "C-x RET")) ;; originally bound globally to char
coding commands
(define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-x RET") 'org-insert-todo-heading)

Attached is my AutoHotKey script.

What I did is:
Add some alternative TTY key bindings for some frequently used commands,
and use "AutoHotkey" to map things like "M-RET" to those TTY key
bindings. Not ideal, but works fine.
If I understand you correctly, what you are suggesting is to use
alternative key binds as suggested by Giovanni and use AutoHotKey to
`translate' S-<left> to C-c <left> for example. Hmm. Not a bad idea
at all. Should work.
Can you please share relevant pieces from your .emacs and AHK script?

; IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT GETTING STARTED: Lines that start with a
; semicolon, such as this one, are comments. They are not executed.
; This script has a special filename and path because it is automatically
; launched when you run the program directly. Also, any text file whose
; name ends in .ahk is associated with the program, which means that it
; can be launched simply by double-clicking it. You can have as many .ahk
; files as you want, located in any folder. You can also run more than
; one ahk file simultaneously and each will get its own tray icon.
; SAMPLE HOTKEYS: Below are two sample hotkeys. The first is Win+Z and it
; launches a web site in the default browser. The second is Control+Alt+N
; and it launches a new Notepad window (or activates an existing one). To
; try out these hotkeys, run AutoHotkey again, which will load this file.
