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.]]> Wed, 18 Oct 2017 13:25:53 GMT https://ugmfree.it/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=518
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".)]]> Tue, 17 Oct 2017 19:45:47 GMT
