Hotkeys Options Property Sheet

The Hotkeys Options property sheet allows turning on/off the Hotkeys feature and assign particular key combinations for most usable window actions provided by Actual Tools program.

Enable hotkeys check box - mark it to turn on the Hotkeys feature in full.

Hotkeys list box - shows the list of most usable actions and their assigned key combinations, allows turning on/off the particular hotkey using the check box on the left of action's name, and displays the current hotkey status: if everything is OK the status is clear, otherwise it warns you in case you already assigned this combination to another action ("duplicate hotkey") or the assigned combination is already used by other applications (including Windows® itself).

Note

Here is the list of key combinations reserved in Windows® for different system actions: <Alt+Tab>, <Alt+Shift+Tab>, <Alt+Space>, <Win+D>, <Win+E>, <Win+F>, <Win+L>, <Win+M>, <Win+R>, <Ctrl+Esc>, <Ctrl+Shift+Esc>. Assigning any of these key combinations to Actual Tools actions will result by the "Already used by other applications" warning.

Key Combination group - contains the visual controls allowing to modify the key combination assigned to the action currently selected in the Hotkeys list box:

Win + check box - mark it to include the special <Win> key to the current key combination

Ctrl + check box - mark it to include the special <Ctrl> key to the current key combination

Shift + check box - mark it to include the special <Shift> key to the current key combination

Alt + check box - mark it to include the special <Alt> key to the current key combination

Hotkey box - click it and then press the desired alphanumeric key to complete the combination.
