Shortcut Ctrl+Alt+M not changable
currently I use shortcuts a lot and adjust them for my needs.
Only Ctrl+Alt+M cannot be used by anything. It can be entered but it is ignored resp. doing nothing. |

As we have recently found. Some shortcuts are OWNED by the OS and can't be used by other apps

The issue is with Ctrl (instead of Shift). I was not aware of the OS limitation to this shortcut but it not really an issue for me. |

Just curious: How does Calibre act when a hotkey is in-use by another program? I have a handful of global hotkeys for various programs, though I try to make sure they don't conflict. (Non-customizable hotkeys is one of my banes.)

If I exit Wordweb and then set a calibre custom keyboard shortcut to Wordweb's hotkey it works fine, but if I start WordWeb it gets priority. Same with Clipboard Fusion hotkeys. WordWeb and Clipboard Fusion run as background processes, whereas calibre runs as an App. Not sure what would happen if I ran calibre in the tray. When I can, I use the Winkey in global hotkeys and when I can't, I use Ctrl+Shift + top-row keys - I still have ^&*()_ and + available. BR |
