I'd like to have some kind of utility that would tell me which hotkeys are currently assigned on my XP system, so I could avoid conflicts between different applications. Thanks !

Here's a similar request. I'm also pretty sure there's other threads similar (something about "cheat sheets", I think). So.. No, you're not th eonly one looking for such thing

As far as I know, it is possible to check programmatically whether a particular hotkey is assigned only by trying to register it (and getting an error value in return, if the hotkey is already taken). This can be done. However, I don't think Windows will tell you which process has a hold on any particular hotkey. |

Would it be possible as a programmer to "try a given hotkey" and see which programs/ processes "respond" to it? Something like FileMon but more like KeyMon?

I don't think this is possible. When a program tries to register a hotkey, Windows may return an error code meaning that the hotkey is already in use. But AFAIK there is no API function to check which process has registered any given hotkey. |

What I mean is that when a key is pressed a processes memory usage might shoot up or a window open... maybe these could be watched by supremely talented programs...

Those heuristics would be too uncertain to go by... |

Those heuristics would be too uncertain to go by... I know, but if you have to know the answer you might be tempted to try watching a process viewer like prcview or process-tamer (I haven't tried this one) and GUESS an answer. So the computer could make a more educated guess (I'm guessing). |

MerleOne has gone quiet on this one. Have you found a solution?

Actually no. I just try to disable as many hotkeys as possible when I install a new program ! And I understand from this thread that there is no easy/obvious solution ! Thanks !

It's not a free download, but this sounds like exactly what you want. I've never tried this particular app, but most of the PC Mag apps I have tried have been spot on. Hot Key Detective 2 |

Thanks, this one is very interesting ! Even if it checks only Windows Desktop hotkeys apparently. It found 2 I completely forgot about !

I use Qliner (had some similair request here). It is in one word perfect! You really should check out the screenshot tool given with it!
