Hotkey Problem Thread last updated on 2004-04-22 18:36:16

I've been having an annoyance since I upgraded to the latest verison of LS. Whenever I use a hot-key (they all use the WIN key) it executes properly but, my popup comes up and steals the focus. It is very annoying and there is probally just a syntax problem but I am stumped...anybody got any ideas?

Here is a sample of my hotkey.rc:

*Hotkey WIN Z !execute ["C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\taskmgr.exe"]
*Hotkey WIN X !execute ["C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\cmd.exe"]

try

*Hotkey WIN X "C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\cmd.exe"


i think that should be right

Nope, same thing. It even does it on this with just a plain !Bang command:

*Hotkey WIN R !Run

make sure hte win key is not set to call popup check ALL your .rc files, basically whats going on is that when you hit the win key popup shows?is that right?

Make sure your personal.rc has these lines commented out like so...

;--> specify actions for left and right 'win' keys if desired
;jKeyLWinKey "!Popup"
;jKeyRWinKey "!PopupTheme"

Ahhh...found the problem. It wasn't exactly what you guys said but it was in that direction. I didn't know jkey was loaded in the personal.rc file so I had added hotkey into my theme.rc file so I had 2 hotkey modules fighting over the keys. I got rid of one of the modules and now everything is honky dorey. Thanks devilboi and all the others
