How can i make popup work with the windows win key, without the need of using the mouse

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


that's in my personal.rc file in my profile folder.
you most likely got something similar, just uncomment the commands and it should work.
of course you'll need to use jkey to get it to work, i dunno if you can do it without jkey cos i very seldom use hotkeys

jkey is loaded by default in your personal config anyways. With omar's installer, of course.

doesn't that cause win+r and win+d and other hotkeys to not work?

thank's for help, what i mean is the "win" key in the keyboard. With [hotkey.dll], *Hotkey Win Key !Popup - i get a error comand message??? Why's that?

@fallout
yeah i would assume that would stop any other commands mapped with win as a modifier from working

@alcaf
looking at the hotkey manual http://www.flatface.net/~namaide/lsdocs/hotkey.html

it looks like having HotkeyNoWinKeyPopup anywhere in your rc file will stop win from making a popup.

comment that out and see if it works.

also it looks like you have to have a modifier, a main key and an action.

what you have (assuming that "win key" is supposed to be "winkey" isn't valid syntax for the hotkey module

*Hotkey Win Key !Popup

You have to have a (atleast one) main key and a modifier key (to my knowlege.) Also, "Key" isn't anything valid. Like this;
*Hotkey Win+Alt+Ctrl Z !Popup

it should just be:

*Hotkey Win !Popup

try it and let us know.

I have this: jKeyLWinKey "!Popup" in my personal.rc file, and all of the hotkeys like win+r are working... It´s very handy if you want to get up the popup over a maximized window... :)
