Any replacement for ac'tivAid?
(1/1)
Tuxman:
As the ac'tivAid development seems to have been stopped, I wonder if there is a similar software available. I mainly use the function to assign global hotkeys to applications (so I can e.g. start ConEmu with Ctrl-Alt-Space) and the Shutdown dialog (Windows+Q).
Any ideas?

Not exactly what you're looking for I think, but
I got the AHK experts here working on Win+Q a few years ago -- this was my favourite version, it opens the Window's Shutdown dialogue:
[..] if you want to update to AHK_L the hotkey can become this:
--- Code: Autohotkey ---#q::ComObjCreate("Shell.Application").ShutdownWindows()-Winkie (August 19, 2011, 01:04 PM)
--- End quote ---
-
there are other variations in that thread (one that just killed everything without asking which was too much for me).
I also have Ctrl+Q to close active window (but not on this machine so cant check the script).
Tuxman:
Nice. Now I just need an application to set hotkeys to other applications ... :D
(TODO 2017: Read about AHK.)
