Yes. Meant exactly that. I created a shortcut on desktop for mintty. Assigned it the key "ctrl+alt+M". I like my desktop to be uncluttered. So after assigning the key, I moved the shortcut icon into my work folder "/c/home/wrk". The hotkey stopped working. I then moved the icon back to the desktop and it worked again. Now, all my hot-key-assigned shortcuts sit in a folder "shortcuts" on the desktop and they all work. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
