...because the author has made it both
hide and popup on the same button,
Escape. Every time I would make Flashnote or several other programs hide, by pressing
Esc, WinSnap would popup and say Here I am! Too silly!

Yes, one can disable this feature, but wouldn't it be so more
right if the two functions were seperated? I think so. I even wrote the author about it, but was only told not to have Esc as a hotkey for other programs!!!
Curt, reading your post made me chuckle a bit..

because i once suggested to the author, Alex, to set the 'Esc' key to either minimize or exit WinSnap.. [

btw, you can also undo a hotkey this way..
How to undo a hotkey?P.S. WinSnap is a very good lightweight screen capturing tool but unfortunately has been a shareware since v2 (v1 is still freeware, though)..
