HotKeyP
-------
4.6 (2011-07-30)
- command "Desktop resolution" has optional parameter monitor number
- command "Control panel" without parameters opens the control panels folder
- command "Macro" can have parameters \media_select, \launch_app1, \launch_app2
- option to use hook only for special system shortcuts (e.g. Win+E, Win+D, Ctrl+Esc, Alt+Tab, ...)
fixed bugs:
- multimedia keys on some keyboards did not work (e.g. Genius USB keyboards)
- shift sometimes remained pressed after the macro
- if launched application required admin. rights, its exe file name was passed as the first parameter
Do you know if the action "Terminate process" can be used to kill ANY process that is having (stealing) focus at any given time, or if it is for a 'pre-selected' program only?I haven't tried it with HotKeyP. My regular hotkey program is HoeKey (http://www.bcheck.net/apps/hoe.htm), which works by killing whichever process has focus. So, by the looks of a quick test, does HotKeyz (http://www.skynergy.com/hotkeyz.html).-Curt (August 14, 2011, 05:51 PM)
I was hoping one of them would support Right-click on window titlebar to close. But doesnt seem to be the case.-tomos (August 15, 2011, 03:40 PM)

HotkeyP insists in going in with startup appsDoesn't here, on Vista Home Premium, UAC On, from a user account: I just unzipped it into a c:\NoInst\HotKeyP\ directory and it works OK.-tomos (August 15, 2011, 03:40 PM)
Hoekey not working properly out of the box here.No problems here. I've used it for years on several different systems. But, you do have to manually edit the configuration with a text editor :) This is the line in question:-tomos (August 15, 2011, 03:40 PM)
_^@K=Kill ; Terminate current process
Hotkeyz seems to be the most accessible for GUI persons like me :)It has a nice GUI configuration system, if sometimes a bit tedious when you want to add several things, with parameters etc. I've occasionally had the impression that HotKeyz is a bit slower at some actions than Hoekey, notably at popping up my PopSel (http://www.horstmuc.de/win.htm) menu.-tomos (August 15, 2011, 03:40 PM)

This functionality is very easy to accomplish with a bit of AHK script. Did you need something like that or do you currently use a different application for this functionality?-skwire (August 16, 2011, 01:39 PM)
Today it's working okayToday I suddenly have the normally perfectly reliable ArsClip complaining it couldn't set its hotkey. I blame Windows :mad:-tomos (August 17, 2011, 05:33 AM)
Hotkeyz seems to be the most accessible for GUI persons like me [...] I had major problems with "minimise all windows except current". Didnt minimise to taskbar. but to bottom left corner of screen. Tasskbar (on autohide) refused to show. Had to reboot to clear the mess.Hmmm, I haven't tried those features. I wonder if Magnus is developing on very recent versions of Windows. Have you tried e-mailing him?-tomos (August 15, 2011, 03:40 PM)
I can try Hoekey again - the latest update is just an exe. I downloaded an older complete version and replaced the exe, but maybe you have to run the older version firstNo, it's another no-install unzip-and-go program, but you do need a configuration file. The reason for having the older archives is to have the help file and configuration examples. He didn't bother to update the archives. Just copy the latest .exe over the previous one. The feaures of the most recent versions are probably only mentioned in the user group forum.
