Hotkeys question

October 19, 2006 8:39:35 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums
Hello, How do I find out what desktop object or widget has hijacked a key? For example, F10 no longer works as expected in any application. I thought it was the 'silica weather' widget -- on the 'General Settings' tab of its Properties dialog there are entries for two hotkeys. They were initially F9 and F10, but I have set them to None. F10 still doesn't work in other applications. Thanks for any help with this...

What does happen when you use the F10?

Nothing. In VisStudio, it used to be Debug.StepOver; now nothing happens. In many apps, F10 activated the application's menus; now, nothing.

right click on the DTX 'Welcome Screen' and check the hotkeys in properties.
DTX itself is usually set to F9/F10 also.

Thanks for the suggestion, but they are set to 'None'.

I have this problem too whenever I run ObjectBar 2 with the Acsessorize theme. F9/F10 are hijacked. Initially they seemed to bring the weather and calendar to the top of the z-order but after making sure ever hotkey I could find was set to none they no longer do that but they also no longer work in other apps.

This is especially frustrating in Visual Studio where F10 is probably my most used key. I've had to remap f10 in visual studio but I'm regularly forgetting and using F10.

Can someone please help fix this it's stupid to have a hotkey that can't be changed properly.

I uninstalled WindowBlinds 5, and my hotkeys are restored to what I expect. Where in WindowBlinds, I wonder, could I have fixed this?

Number8:

Were all hot keys previously affected or just hot keys when using apps? WB does have some adverse effects on some apps that don't really like to be skinned.

WindowBlinds does not touch hotkeys.
