Windows key bindings aren't being overridden #244

Closed marnunez closed 4 years ago

marnunez commented 4 years ago

Hi! Running bug.n 0.9.2, from compiled exe, adm privileges. I'm finding that the default Win+key are not overridden, resulting in:

Win+E still opens Explorer
Every #+key binding also opens the Screen Magnifier (triggered by the Win+ combination)
Win+D still shows the desktop

etc

Tried it also with the development version, same results. Anyone experiencing this problem as well?

This is intentional. The default key bindings, which provide helpful functionality not replaced by bug.n functions, should still be accessible as far as possible; e.g. only #+d, #^d and #+^d are used by bug.n, but not #d.

Ok, understood. But regarding the #+(any key) binding, that will pop up the Screen Magnifier regardless of the key I press. Is that normal as well? There seem to be many bug.n defaults that include the #+(key) binding, such as #+I

Ah, well, #+ is a symbolic notation used by AutoHotkey representing WinShift. Have a look at the cheat sheet from the release file for an overview of the default hotkeys.
