(Image bonus: Why 7590, then 759? K = Decimal ASCII 75, Z = Decimal 90 --had to make this one for you hereSolution, do a "length(string) mod 2" check to choose a correct string to integer direction/translation)

A Master list of Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows 10 reveals nothing about CTRL+SHIFT+R other than it is used to refresh a page in Edge (it is also used for that in other browsers).

One possible way is to use the Visual Studio tool Spy++.
Give this a try:
Run the tool (for me, it's at C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\Common7\Tools\spyxx_amd64.exe)
In the menu bar, select Spy -> Log messages... (or hit Ctrl + M)
Check All Windows in System in the Additional Windows frame
Switch to the Messages tab
Click the Clear All button
Select WM_HOTKEY in the listbox, or check Keyboard in Message Groups (if you're OK with more potential noise)
Click the OK button
Press the hotkey in question (Win + R, for example)
Select the WM_HOTKEY line in the Messages (All Windows) window, right click, and select Properties... in the context menu
In the Message Properties dialog, click the Window Handle link (this will be the handle for the window that received the message)
Click the Synchronize button on the Window Properties dialog. This will show the window in the main Spy++ window treeview.
On the Window Properties dialog, select the Process tab
Click the Process ID link. This will show you the process (In my Win + R case: EXPLORER)Great answer! Just a note that the 64-bit version of Spy++ catches only messages for 64-bit applications, so if you don't see the WM_HOTKEY message in the Message log after pressing the hotkey, you may need to run the 32-bit version of Spy++.
Actually I just tried it again and Chrome did not block it. My antivirus did though. Windows Defender I think. I'm not an admin of my machine, so I can't 'whitelist' it, unfortunately.-kunkel321 (March 31, 2021, 04:25 PM)
Hopefully Chrome won't keep blocking this version :- /I am really pissed off what your browser does. Please excuse me for this situation!-kunkel321 (March 31, 2021, 10:52 AM)
Co-edit a file
Files uploaded and shared to a team are accessible to every member of the Team. In Office for the web, Office for Android or iOS, or the latest applications from Microsoft 365, you and your team members can co-edit Word, PowerPoint, or Excel documents, or comment on Visio files. No need to check files out or worry about if one of your colleagues has the document open. Just open the file you need to edit and if other team members are editing it too your changes will be seamlessly merged as you work.
1. I realize now that Advanced Properties is probably not for me because I have no idea what most of the information it shows me means.1. That is okay, it is not a-must-have tool. For me as a technican fan it is (^_^)
2. But I do have a little bit of feedback on the aesthetics.-Deozaan (March 24, 2021, 02:42 PM)
I really don't like the transparency effects. I feel I can't even concentrate on trying to figure out and use the app itself because I am too distracted by the transparency. I see that there's an option to disable the effects, but none of the options are enabled. Is it supposed to be that way?In this progress state, yes. I was aware of such and just put non-functional controls everywhere around to not forget them ;-)-Deozaan (March 24, 2021, 02:42 PM)
I also noticed that the Options window is "always on top" of other applications, even though the main AdvProp window can be hidden behind other windows.Yes, there is a problem... if you open Options, running other applications, go back over taskbar icon the main window will appear and the modal option window is behind.-Deozaan (March 24, 2021, 02:42 PM)
I have a similar issue with trying to quit the program. The static/snow effect is really strange and distracting. That wouldn't be much of a problem if the option to disable quit confirmation dialog worked.That I have not understand. You mean, on your system the quit dialog dont work?-Deozaan (March 24, 2021, 02:42 PM)
Sounds good man! Happy to test out the file shell app and see how it functions. Should I use the original one posted above or the custom one you’re making?As said, FileShell has already zpi file capability, try it with your xxl zip-dcsev (March 24, 2021, 02:00 AM)
The new info I provided was when the app launched it would read the files in the zip files as folder structures and if I needed to launch one of the files, I just double click And boom it launches the PDF or RTF file in the default app in the system.The Demo that I will soon provide, will have first of all "listing files inside archive" capability, extract files to run them will be no problem.-dcsev (March 24, 2021, 02:00 AM)
Hi @KodeZwerg! Thank you VERY much for your consideration!You are welcome!-dcsev (March 24, 2021, 12:00 AM)
I'd like to ask one more question if I may.Ask as much as you can to have the best result whats possible!-dcsev (March 24, 2021, 12:00 AM)
Brace yourself, lol, I think this one is really out of the question since it is a big ask but I wanted to run it by you just in case.I am sorry if I may understand it wrong, thats why I reask to be sure.
Would it be possible for the app to read the files inside a ZIP file as the data? The reason I ask if copying 25,000 files is a real chore especially having to do it over & over a network; copy 1 large zip file would make things super easier. I don't know what the performance would be like, but if it makes things super-complicated or slows things to a crawl just reading the files then I would cross this last point out.
Let me know what your thoughts are about this and thanks again for even being willing to consider.-dcsev (March 24, 2021, 12:00 AM)
It seems like it would be out of place in ScreenshotCaptor, personally.-wraith808 (March 20, 2021, 09:03 AM)
Yes, I tried that app and it was very fast in loading the files, but the interface was a little overwhelming for my needs.Adjusting the surface as it is shown in your picture is the least problem.
I would very very much appreciate a customized version!!-dcsev (March 23, 2021, 12:43 AM)
Here's a picture of the design (see attached below) some technical criteria to consider:This is not a challenge, so yes, it can be done.
1. Should list only files in a subfolder called "Data" located in its own directory. For example, a user places a folder called "Data" in the app's directory and the app reads it from there.-dcsev (March 23, 2021, 12:43 AM)
2. The main types of files that will be launched/printed:Limiting the output to your desired file extensions is no hurdle.
- RTF files
PDF files
LNK files (short to RDP file)
.URL (web site)-dcsev (March 23, 2021, 12:43 AM)
3. No menu bar needed or desired as it will clutter the interface. One can quit the app using top right X.Read what I wrote above, so yes.-dcsev (March 23, 2021, 12:43 AM)
4. You can put generic names in the titles "AppTitle" and I can modify those in the source code.I can provide this option via .ini functionality.-dcsev (March 23, 2021, 12:43 AM)
5. Settings window allows to configure font, & font size & relative data pathI still have to think about that.-dcsev (March 23, 2021, 12:43 AM)
1. I assume since these are made in AHK there will be no dependencies or prerequisite softwareMy program was developed with the Delphi programming language and not with AHK.-dcsev (March 23, 2021, 12:43 AM)
2. I will be avoiding using MPRESS or UPX compression as I need to avoid the identification of this software as malware by McAfee AV. I checked splaylistmaker as an example, and happy to sayWhen the time comes, I can offer an uncompressed version.-dcsev (March 23, 2021, 12:43 AM)
3. Source code is needed to make very basic (non-programming) adjustments if needed.That will not happen. It has to be enough that I offer my programs free of charge without asking for a fee.-dcsev (March 23, 2021, 12:43 AM)
4. I know this is a standard for all your apps, I would need it to be completely portable (store all settings in config.ini like your other brilliant apps).As already said a bit above, yes no problem.-dcsev (March 23, 2021, 12:43 AM)
5. I would need to be able to launch the app via USB key so making the directories relative (e.g. \Data vs C:\Data) is of critical importance.Being portable is and always has been my goal when creating applications.-dcsev (March 23, 2021, 12:43 AM)
6. Should not access network since all files will be stored locallySince the wish was only expressed in a certain subfolder of the program itself to look for folders and files, this remark is obsolete.-dcsev (March 23, 2021, 12:43 AM)
Attack on Titan is, in my opinion, an even better story.I just can approve that too. I like this series a lot too!-Shades (March 20, 2021, 11:43 PM)
Opening Microsoft Word files = Application Crash.//editBut it probably shouldn't crash when an unsupported format is loaded.
I believe I've got this fixed for the new release.-Deozaan (March 20, 2021, 02:35 AM)Bad news.
On more testing, more things happen.
Errorhandling should be improved.
I did try open files that are not supposed to be opened by your program.
Program will freeze and can not be restarted after I terminate process.
I needed to go into my /user/.... folder and delete prefs.dat and logs folder, otherwise program is not able to run anymore. It simply does nothing.
My suggestion: limit file dialog filter to *.txt and not *.*.-KodeZwerg-KodeZwerg (March 19, 2021, 06:26 PM)
Program messes around with my Registry/NVidia/OpenGL settings by creating keys.But if you can tell me what changes it makes I can look into whether or not I can prevent that from happening.-Deozaan (March 20, 2021, 02:35 AM)No adjustment needed, I will apply image to that subject.
That is okay. You do not have possibilites to avoid such, that is the used 3d-Engine.-KodeZwerg-KodeZwerg (March 19, 2021, 06:26 PM)
Everything is a bit too dark. Dark Menu on Dark Background... (maybe add a lightgray border to have it more seperated)Can you be more specific about this? Yes, the backgrounds are dark, but the foreground text is light, which should result in decent contrast and easy readability.-Deozaan (March 20, 2021, 02:35 AM)I will add Image to that subject.
If Border would be lightgray from menu, the visual content would not look "melted" (?)-KodeZwerg-KodeZwerg (March 19, 2021, 06:26 PM)
This looks like it could be useful. I plan to give more detailed feedback later.I can hardly wait to get more feedback and I am curious about what you have to say-Deozaan (March 20, 2021, 02:47 AM)
By the way, if you're getting a head start on the next NANY, keep in mind it will be NANY 2022.Thanks for the NANY 2022 in advance.-anandcoral (March 20, 2021, 05:00 AM)-Deozaan (March 20, 2021, 02:47 AM)
Very Nice!wow, after 10 minutes online first good reply, high appreciated that!!
The first time it ran Avast slapped it while it checked if it was ok, which threw a few unhandled exceptions, then when it decided the program was ok it restarted fine. I moved the exe into a good place and added the content menu, very handy tool! Thank you!-x16wda (March 19, 2021, 07:16 PM)
