Can't use "windows" key for shortcuts..?

Post by goji »

Hello, i'm trying Windows 10 just now (never tried 8.x) and i can't seem to use the Windows key as a shortcut (for ex win+e) as i used to do on 7.. Can we override this?

Everything uses "Windows hot keys" to create keyboard shortcuts.

Unfortunately, existing Windows key combinations can not be overwritten with this method.
You will need a third party tool such as autohotkey.

I can recommend HotkeyP, for simple users.

Maybe this will help? - http://www.voidtools.com/forum/viewtopi ... 955#p13115 - That's the method I use and it feels natural (how Win7 Search hotkey worked).
