Super+space hotkey doesn't work in Win10 #244

Closed greggilbert closed 7 years ago

Per this page, it looks like Super+space should be the equivalent of the left Windows key and the spacebar for hotkeys - but that does nothing. Other key combinations (e.g. ctrl+space) work just fine, though.

For reference, this is Win10 Home x64.

Indeed it doesn't. Interestingly enough it brings up the context menu key, which is really handy, didn't know that.

Unfortunately it means its being 'handled' by Windows and there isn't anything we can do about it. There are few programs that can wrestle those keys away from the windows core, but Hain/Node/Atom can't do it that I'm aware of.
