Steve, Yes, this is very much like what I do in one of my apps. I create additional strings, one for each key, which indicate to me whether it's a global or an application specific key.
Vic, I'm afraid I haven't gotten there yet, but it's about time to get down into the details of all the methods used in the generated code. I had been trying to give an overview of everything first. thanks for the class idea, I need them!

In the loop that registers the hot key, check the second array. If true, call the RegisterHotKey routine that includes ClientInformation.ApplicationProcess. Otherwise, call the original method.
