NoClose - and how to change hotkeys to alt & something

[ClosedIn]

NoClose ist pretty close to a solution of one of my computer problems. A nice small and yet powerful tool.

But:

How can I change the hotkeys from control+something to alt+ctrl+shift+something because all the ctrl+ keys are used already?

Or:

How can I disable the hotkeys of the program completely? If all the windows I close unintendedly all time are happily blocked from closing, I don't use the hotkeys any more - or only if I want to add new windows to be blocked.

Thanks in advance

The author of NoClose is not likely to read this thread. But of course you have a chance if you can persuade skwire to edit skrommel's NoClose one more time.
However, you may want to check out Dkmy instead:

Yes, this one too is old. But I would be surprised if it doesn't work for you.

and of course there is the payware solution http://www.actualtools.com/windowguard/ that will do what you need.

I might be jumping the gun on this since I haven't doublechecked, but it appears that the hotkeys are in the noclose.ini file. 

I don't use the hotkeys, so I assume these two lines from noclose.ini are the default hotkeys:

[Select]

swap=^!Numpad4
add=^!Numpad6

this is an AutoHotkey script, so these are AutoHotkey key notations.  Check AutoHotkey help for the key notations for the keys you want to use.  Then edit noclose.ini with a text editor like Notepad.

Next time I'll check before I post.

Right click on the NoClose tray icon.  Click "Settings"  and the dialog box to set the hotkeys appears.

Sure. Thanks. This is obvious. There is a ^ in the NoClose.ini file for "control plus any key" as the hotkey definition. But how is the syntax for alt and shift and altGr? Any idea? Any guess? Some accent or what?

Thanks a lot. This is the solution. I found the answer in the autohotkey introduction. alt is "!" and shift is "+" etc.

What's really nice about AutoHotkey is that other people's code is right there so you can make small modifications to suit yourself.
