Rick,
You can go into the keyboard manager for each suspected app to see exactly what hot keys the app is using. It would still be time consuming but much more efficient than going into the source code and looking for the hot key assignments. I don't hear that on my setup so it is probably not a default app. Best regards from Ohio, U.S.A., Vic E-mail: vic.beck...@hughes.net From: RicksPlace [mailto:ofbgm...@mi.rr.com] Sent: Thursday, October 13, 2011 5:28 AM To: gw-scripting@gwmicro.com Subject: Finding Hot Key App Hi: I may have missed it but how do you find what app a particular hot key combination is in? For example, when I hit ctrl-shift-c I hear "The Chat Window Is Empty" no matter what program I am in ie8 or the desktop or notepad etc... That tells me it is likely a WE Global App key combination but which app? I don't like having some chat functionallity running while I am in other, non chat, applications. In fact while typing this I hear the chat window is empty message when I hit control-shift-c which I should not hear since there, to my knowledge, no chat window active anyplace in Outlook Express while I type this. So, other than going into every app's source code if available and then reading line by line and searching around how do I find this problematic key combination and how do I handle this situation going forward for all those key combinations that are what should be considered app buggs rather than applicable to user activities. Hot keys should only be active when the requsit program or form or page is running. Is there a way of identifying all WE active hot keys defined in all those WE and Third Party Apps WE is becomming so dependent on? What about 99 percent of WE users who are not scriptors,? How do they handle this problem? What, if anything, has been put in place as a standard or did I just miss it? Is there some WE hot key that will read or print out all the other hot keys defined in all WE and Third Party Apps loaded and running? My fear has always been that too many hot keys and messages are floating around behind the scenes due to the use of Apps the way they are implemented and can cause problems for WE users since, as far as I know, they are not managed by the WE Engine. I was confused when I hit ctrl-shift-c and heard there was nothing in the chat window. I thought that I was missing something in ie8, some type of chat might be open or some other problem. Fortunately I know a little about scripting and am guessing this is a bug in either a WE App or some Third Party App running gloabbly and not assigned to a proper program. If you recognize this key combo which app is it in and is there some way that WE manages and documents hot key assignments running at any given time? I think I remember something on this from some posts a long time ago but not what it was about and not what the final resolution was. Rick USA
