I installed Everything as a service.
New window/Show window/Toggle window hotkeys doesn't seem to be persistent then. After a reboot the defined hotkeys don't work anymore.
When NOT installed as a service those hotkeys are working fine. Even after restarting Everything.
A fix would be very welcome.

Re: Keyboard shortcuts
Everything must be running for hotkeys to work.
Please make sure you enable Start Everything on system startup.
To enable Start Everything on system startup:
After a reboot, look for a message in the debug console:
What is the number x in the debug message?
What shortcut keys are you using ?

Re: Keyboard shortcuts
Finally I figured out whats going wrong.
When Everything ist started by the user Everything.ini will be stored in the users profile directory. Write access to Everything.ini is allowed per default.
When Everything is configured to run on system startup (and as a service) Everything.ini will be stored in the installation directory. For a normal user write access is denied.
Thats why Everything failed to save its options. All configured options including the keyboard shortcut were lost after a reboot.
Allowing write acess to Everything.ini in the installation directory for all useres fixed the problem.
It might be a good idea to adapt Everything's installer accordingly.
Thanks for your great utility and your help!

Re: Keyboard shortcuts
This can happen if you run the installer with administrative rights, or run Everything with administrative rights and then run Everything on a normal user account.
Please see %APPDATA% option for more information on where the Everything settings are stored.
