Hot Key conflict solving skillfully

In the use of the computer process, we sometimes receive hot key conflict prompts, encountered this situation, modify the current software hotkey is a way to modify the conflict software hotkey is also a way. But how do you learn about conflict software? Can you predict ahead?

　　1. Compromise one step modify the current software hotkey

When hot-key conflict occurs, the most convenient way is to take a step back. Immediately specify the current software hotkey as another custom hot key, so that you do not have to pay attention to the conflict where the software, each with the hot key, can continue to put into work immediately.

Take QQ as an example. When you start the QQ image capture function, software pop-up prompts, display capture screen hotkey is occupied, the proposed modification of the conflict software hotkey to ensure that QQ function is available, but QQ does not tell us the conflict of the software is which, so the most convenient way here is "modify QQ Hotkey" (Figure 1).

Just click on this text link, you can automatically enter the QQ Global Hotkey Settings window, press the next group of keyboard keys, if not with other software in the computer conflict, QQ will accept the new set of hot keys, and as a future screenshot of the Gelian use (Figure 2).

2. Stabilize the ground to find out hot key occupation culprit

If you have been used to the use of QQ ctrl+shift+a screenshots, and other software occupy the set of hot keys, but you are a "say not to go in" person-"My hotkey can not be modified, can only modify other software hotkey", and how to do? At this point, you must first find the software with the QQ hotkey conflict is which one, Then modify the shortcut keys that the software occupies.

With a very small tool ghotkey can find the global hotkey and by what software occupy, can also modify a software hotkey. When you run the software, the window appears blank (Figure 3). Click on the Software window in the lower left corner of the GetHotKey (Get Hotkey) button, key (Hot Key) A column will list the current system hotkey, in the corresponding path (path) a column, then listed the hot key corresponding to the running program and its specific path.

Modifying hotkeys can also be done directly in the software. To modify a hot key for a software, you can select the hotkey directly, place the cursor in the "None" box under the window, press the hotkey you want to modify, and click on the middle Modifyhotkey (Modify Hotkey) button.

Small tip:

After you exit the software that modifies the hotkey, the modified hotkey is also available, except to unregister the system or reboot the software.

　　3. Prevention definition conflict early know

We often also need to set up shortcut call combinations for some of our own shortcut icons, folders, or documents. So how do you choose a set of shortcut key combinations that you haven't used in your system for your own use?

We can use the Ethervane Activehotkeys software to view the system's global hotkey to see what is not in use, using the hot keys which are not occupied to define their own shortcut combinations.

After running Ethervane Activehotkeys, if you click the test Active hotkeys button, you will see all the shortcut key combinations defined by the default rule on the left in the right-hand window (Figure 4). By default, all occupied, unused shortcuts are displayed under the right window active column, and yes indicates that the shortcut key combination is occupied and no indicates that it is not occupied. If you think this is not convenient to view, you can press the F5 key to display, the first time you press the F5 key, only the shortcut keys that are occupied are displayed (Figure 5), and the F5 key is pressed again, only the unused shortcuts are displayed (Figure 6), and the third time F5 is restored to full display status. If you need to define shortcut keys, view definitions or undefined shortcut key combinations, you can choose to view from here.

If you want to filter according to your needs, first from the left 1. Select modifier modifier keys Group to choose the shortcut key combination you want to find, such as the need to find ctrl+shift+d use, check ctrl+shift; then from 2. Select Normal key groups group to check the shortcut key combination of the general character range, you can only tick the letter, or only tick the number, you can also check all, here tick alphabetical (A-Z) can; finally click the bottom left 3. Check which hotkeys are the test active hotkeys button under active grouping for detection, and the results are displayed in the right shortcut usage list (Figure 7). As you can see in the query results, this key combination ctrl+shift+d is not currently occupied by the system, so it is safe to define it to the software you need.

Small tips:

Several to assign shortcut key combinations to programs, folders, or documents, just right-click the target and select Properties, and then, under the Shortcuts tab of the Properties window, tap the shortcut key text box, and then press the keyboard shortcut together, the shortcut key combination appears in the text box, and finally clicks OK (Figure 8).
