What I mean by blocking/disabling the keys is that the EAT of (both Down/Up of) any moderator keys are done internally by KeyTrap itself, from the start, and the second part in your description is done by users using ini settings. This seems the method that AutoHotkey adopts (for two-key hotkeys, there seems to be no thing such as a three-key hotkey etc, but I'm not well acquainted with AutoHotkey). However, it seems not that practical than confining the moderator keys to Shift/Ctrl/Alt/Win, well at least to me. But, I think I have to admit that it may be useful, or even unavoidable in some situations, to use the two-key hotkeys. BTW, you can use a similar two-key hotkey in PP too. But you can specify only one prefix key in PP, and PP does not eat it at all. Sean ------------------------ Yahoo!
