This is the Autohotkey command:

::excl:: !

The space before '!' is non-breaking, I inserted it with Ctrl-K-Space-Space in 
gVim.

It would appear that the non-breaking space outputs Alt-Space which gets 
translated by gVim to :simalt. Why it happens remains a mystery. Why it happens 
only in one specific gVim session, and not in others remains an even bigger 
mystery.
