Group Policy - Toggle Window Hotkey

Post by benaiahhenry »

Hi,

I'm trying to set the "Toggle Window Hotkey" setting via group policy, but the selector only seems to allow integers to be entered. How do I actually set a keystroke such as "Ctrl+M"? A screenshot of the setting is below.

An easy way to find the hotkey code is to set Everything to debug mode and view the troubleshooting information:
  • On any client PC, in Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Keyboard tab on the left.
  • Set your desired hot key.
  • Click OK.
  • From the Tools menu, under the Debug submenu, click Verbose.
  • From the Help menu, click Troubleshooting information.
  • Check the codes for the following values:
    new_window_key=
    show_window_key=
    toggle_window_key=
    (Press Ctrl + F to search for the above, the hotkey code is shown after the = )


The LOBYTE is the Virtual key.
The HIBYTE is the modifier flags.

The modifier flags can be 0 or more of the following:
ValueDescription
0x01Control
0x02Alt
0x04Shift
0x08Windows key
