Win-Enter shortcut under W10

Post by *Hacker »

Hi *.*,
Is it possible to use Win-Enter as a keyboard shortcut in TC under W10? Here it always starts the Windows Narrator. On the other hand AHK can use it without any problem.

TC 9.0a x64.

TIA
Roman
Mal angenommen, du drückst Strg+F, wählst die FTP-Verbindung (mit gespeichertem Passwort), klickst aber nicht auf Verbinden, sondern fällst tot um.

It works for me on Windows 7 - but I guess that Windows Narrator has defined it as a system-wide hotkey. Then it will not work in TC.

You can disable Narrator Win+Enter hotkey using this registry key :

Code: Select all

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Narrator\NoRoam\WinEnterLaunchEnabled 
set it to 0.
AHK is using some trick to be on top of the list for all key. TC probably use more standard way to capture hotkey only redirected to it's active window.

Christian,
Yes, I used the Win-Enter shortcut menu for the internal context menu under Windows 7 and now under Windows 10 I found it does not work anymore.

Thanks, I've already done that but TC still does not "see" the hotkey being pressed.

Hi Roman, I also did a test and for me Win+ENTER is mapped on TC to Win + Pad ENTER.

Power pro distinguish both Enter code but not TC and probably register wrong combination.

00_1C Enter / E0_1C NumPad Enter

nsp,
Hmm, nope, not here. Since I disabled Win-Enter for Narrator, all I get is a "busy" cursor for a split second when I press either Win-Enter or Win-NumEnter.
