Can not set Hotkey "Control-Command-Space", already in use #29

Closed errorik closed 8 years ago

errorik commented 8 years ago

I get a message stating:

The key combination ⌃⌘Space cannot be used This combination cannot be used because it is already used by a system-wide keyboard shortcut. If you really want to use this key combination, most shortcuts can be changed in the Keyboard & Mouse panel in System Preferences.

I indeed do have a system keyboard shortcut for the Keyboard Character / Emoji viewer for this key combo. However, I have looked in the System Preferences and can not find a method to turn it off.

Is there a way for you to show this warning, but then include an option for Neptunes to take over the keyboard shortcut / hotkey and override the system default?

Nope, sorry :(

Thank you. I have found a workaround. If anyone else is interested... I set my NepTunes hotkey for Play/Pause to ⌃⌘P NepTunes preferences as such, then used a keyboard remapping app Karabiner to remap ⌃⌘Space to ⌃⌘P with the following XML:

`

Custom Remap for NepTunes PlayPause PRIVATE.neptunes.playpause.remap __KeyToKey__ KeyCode::SPACE, ModifierFlag::CONTROL_L | ModifierFlag::COMMAND_L, KeyCode::P, ModifierFlag::CONTROL_L | ModifierFlag::COMMAND_L
