ac'tivAid has a built-in, system-wide hotkey manager, too.  :)

Tuxman Just had a look at that and I am lost. However it uses AHK which I could use on it's own, if it worked, but so far none of the programs that I have tried do.
I have had a look on The Samsung Netbook Forums and cannot find anything of use so I will start a thread on there. I might even send an email to Samsung as while they might not be able to advise me on third party software they should be able to tell me what OEM software is affecting the issue.

rjbull I just caught your reply as I was writing this.

That is, Control-Shift-Alt-N pops up TED Notepad.

Even if that worked as I said in my original post I am limited to only using 2 keys at once. I appreciate your continued interest though and I am amazed at how many reads this thread has had. At least you and a couple of others have picked up things of interest.
If you try Keyboard Tweaker let me know what you think of it.

Shutting down now until tomorrow.

Yes, well, it's all too easy to lose track of the OP  :( :-[

Here's another thought: I have to say, I have not tried it myself, but it might be a way round your only-two-keys limitation, presuming some other netbook problem doesn't rear an ugly head.  Are you aware of TapTap Hotkey Extender?

TapTap Hotkey Extender is a tiny super-efficient tray-based utility (under <100k) for keyboard fanatics.

It monitors for certain unusual hotkey combinations not supported by most programs (like doubletap right shift key). When such hotkey combinations are detected, TapTap will simulate a normal hotkey that the user has configured.

In this way, you can configure any of your programs to respond to these extended hotkey events as if they supported it natively.

    Example:
    You might have a program which normally triggers on Alt+Ctrl+F5, but you want to configure it to trigger with a double tap of the right control key. You can use TapTap to detect Right Control Doubletap events, and send a Ctrl+Alt+F5 when it does. In this way, you can control your programs the way you want to, and they never know the difference.

TapTap Hotkey Extender is written in lean and mean C++ and highly optimized for insignificant cpu/memory access. It makes no changes to any system files and is completely safe. Comes with an installer but you can unpack the download manually and run it without installing.

Thank you - but as you may have already realised, DC is the place for software fanatics.  As in,  "My name is {INSERT DC MONIKER HERE} and I am a software addict."   :o :-[
