Hotkey with just 1 key? Thread last updated on 2004-08-30 05:36:11

I put *Hotkey WIN !Popup1 on my hotkey.rc and prayed it worked even though the documentation said that you need a combination of 2 keys. Obviously this didn't work and litestep complained when I refreshed. A while ago (6+ months?) I was using a theme that you could make the popup menu show up just by pressing the windows key so I know it can be done. Could anyone help me out?

Thanks

I suppose that the default action for the Hotkey module is to execute !Popup on the pressing and release of Windows key.

Make sure that your config does not contain the line

HotkeyNoWinKeyPopup

It's different for jKey. Check your personal.rc

I checked my personal.rc and found this:

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

I changed it to:
;--> specify actions for left and right 'win' keys if desired
*jKeyLWinKey !Popup
*jKeyRWinKey !Popup

It's still not working though =/

EDIT: Found the problem. No stars (*) were to be put in front. It's working now thanks for the help.
