I don't know about Keywin2, but how AHK combat it is it hooking directly to window's mssaging queue and intercept everything. It can even intercept win+R and Ctrl+Shift+Esc. But it can't repost the keys back to application that require them. And what I want the least, is that kind of hooking in my system, it screw more than solve. P.S. Ctrl+Alt+Tab is another "perfect" example of Microsoft ingenuity. Like Alt+Tab, Alt+Esc and Win+Tab are all not enough to switch between windows. No, they HAD to make Alt+Tab unusable, AND make ANOTHER hotkey to bring back its original functionality. P.P.S. That's about all hotkeys that I know are now lost to the userland. You can no longer use them in your own applications, unless you go to a great length of seducing the OS to your side. -- With best regards, Andrey Repin Friday, August 28, 2015 01:30:09 Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
