Suggestion/Request: Enhanched HotKey support

Postby Lockszmith » 20 August 2009, 10:38

I am in love with LiberKey - it's the first portable apps suite that makes sense, and I am actually making good use of it.

I'm sorry if I'm repeating other posts, but I have no French skills (Google translator does a great job for reading the forum, but not for searching it in English :-) )

My suggestion is to add enhanced support for hotkeys, meaning:
include Windows key, and custom keyboard keys (media keys)

For instance - Win+Z for launching LiberKey, or mapping the calculator button to SpeedCrunch.

I personally map most of my keys either with Emerge Desktop's emergeHotkeys or AutoHotKey scripts.

Hope you like the idea, and decide to include it in a future update.

Keep up the good work!

Hi Lockszmith, Win Key is not supported due to the use of the version 1.4 of ASuite.
I know that a new launcher is in development and ASuite 1.5 will not used. So wait and see until the new launcher.

But a workaround is to use Executor (provided in the Key) to handle WIN Key. Declare automatic launching of executor at start.

You have to declare the application you want to launch in the keyword menu of executor and declare the key to use. Executor support relative path.
This is not the most easy solution but work well anyway.

The only limit is that you can't launch the liberkey itself.

I actually got past this limit - I assign the most complex combination (Ctrl-Alt-Shift) with some key, and then map Win-Z (two very close-by keys) to send that complex hotkey - thus mapping Win-Z to show LiberKey :-)

I use AutoHotKey for the Win key mapping.

I believe it's a simpler workaround ;) .
