peterbonge Posts: 6 17/10/2017	peterbonge Posts: 6 I'm just testing SyMenu for the first time I have a problem with program hotkeys: If I set up a hotkey I expect that this hotkey works only with SyMenu and nowhere else, but that's not the case. If I e.g. set up a program hotkey to Ctrl+Shift+N and use this hotkey while the Windows Explorer is active the Explorer creates a new folder and SyMenu starts the corresponding program. (And the hotkey feature shouldn't be called "shortcut".) -- Regards, Peter Bonge

What you are reporting is only one of the weakness of this feature in SyMenu. Another one is that SyMenu, running in normal mode, is not able to steal a shortcut to a program that is running in elevate mode. I perfectly know that but, since rewriting the entire hooking system is an huge task, it's not a priority in this moment sorry. We are not a large team here My advise: use uncommon key combinations for your programs or use another program more aggressive with the keyboard shortcut, such as Clavier+ that is available in the SyMenu suite. Why am I using the shortcut term instead of hotkey? Because the shortcuts in SyMenu were introduced as accelerators available in the contextual menu. Later I extended this feature to allow its use system wide but the name remained.
