how can this be made? i saw the config file but it rejects "WIN" keycode.

use jkey, and you can do this:
jKeyLWinKey "!Popup"
jKeyRWinKey "!Popup"

Hotkey.dll does this by default, unless "HotkeyNoWinKeyPopup" is specified. Make sure it's not in one of your configuration files.

i do remember having problems getting hotkey to do this back when i used it (a few months back), but i just switched to jkey

ill see if i can test it out sometime soon

It seems like the jkeywinkey code is a bit slower than defining it in hotkey.rc

Anybody else noticing this or is it just my computer?

In jKey there is a customizable timeout for the l/rWinKeys, so it is possible to speed the response up (or slow it down).

jKeyLWinKeyTimeout 750
- Sets the delay from the time the LEFT WinKey is
pressed to the time the command specified by
"jKeyLWinKey" is executed.

- Accepts any positive integer in milliseconds.

*Note: Anything less the 400 will probably will
cause things to behave erratically.

- Defaults to: 750


jKeyRWinKeyTimeout 750
- Sets the delay from the time the RIGHT WinKey
is pressed to the time the command specified by
"jKeyRWinKey" is executed.

- Accepts any positive integer in milliseconds.

*Note: Anything less the 400 will probably will
cause things to behave erratically.

- Defaults to: 750
