I'm using elemental theme by split

1st problem, on recyle of litestep I have some hotkey issues:

---------------------------
jKey
---------------------------
Invalid - "LEFT"

Error in definition:
*Hotkey CTRL+ALT LEFT !VWMLeft
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

Using jKey 0.37

Heres my hotkey config

*Hotkey WIN R !Run
*Hotkey WIN F "$FileManager$"
*Hotkey WIN C control.exe sysdm.cpl
*Hotkey WIN M !MinimizeWindows
*Hotkey WIN+SHIFT M !RestoreWindows

jKeyLWinKey !Popup
jKeyLWinKeyTimeout 0 ;you can play around with this


;--> Some useful LiteStep-specific hotkeys

*Hotkey CTRL+ALT R !Recycle
*Hotkey CTRL+ALT LEFT !VWMLeft
*Hotkey CTRL+ALT RIGHT !VWMRight
*Hotkey ALT LEFT !VWMMoveApp Left
*Hotkey ALT RIGHT !VWMMoveApp Right


And another perplexing issue. Everytime Counterstrike is launched, xTaskbar is always on top. This isn't happening with FEAR, but is with CS.

xtray 1.0

1) Sounds like you either overloaded the keyword LEFT, or it isn't defined in your jkey vritual table.

2) That is a known issue with OnTop modules and some full screen applications. Best way around it, especially when you can identify an application, is to pause a recycle before you launch the application or hide all of your modules.

3) What about xtray?

*Hotkey WIN H !Togglemodules

That's what I put in my personal.rc so I could basically make litestep hide while doing full-screen apps. I only had a problem with PowerDVD, but this fixes it. I just hit win+h and they go away. Hit it again and they come back.

It would be so great if you could use a hotkey like that with some people.

Yea...but would you ever hit it again to make them come back?

I have this same problem however, I ALMOST found a fix.

I found a new version of jkey (0.38) that addresses this issue. The readme is as follows:

When I installed Omar's LSInstaller 3.x, the jkey module started to
show me a strage message - 'Invalid - x. Error in definition'.
This message was not shown each time but randomly on a !Recycle.
Never used this module before, so it annoyed me, but I didn't want
to switch to the hotkey.dll module, because it doesn't work with the
multimedia keys :(
Today I spent some time and found that this message is showing because
jugg used VkKeyScan function, that relies on the current input
language. Litestep has the own process's keyboard layout, and sometimes
I switched it (LSXCommand forever! ;) ). But there is no Latin 'X' or
'W' letters in Cyrilic alphabet, so VkKeyScan failed.
I added only two lines of code (now it calls the VkKeyScanEx function
with U.S. English keyboard layout after VkKeyScan failed) and everything
works fine for me :)
Probably it will help somebody else :)

So I installed it, and I STILL get the same error message. I do have a "multimedia" keyboard, its a small version or whatever, but why is this continuing to happen. It only happens if I use one of the custom variables in vk104.txt

So, something is wrong with my keyboard mapping or something else...

:( Please help me too!

Was this problem solved?

Condsidering how many new accounts you have been making, you certainly have a few problems in need of solving.
