Hotkeys Options Property Sheet

The Hotkeys Options property sheet allows turning on/off the Hotkeys feature and assign particular key combinations for most usable window actions provided by Actual Window Manager.

Enable hotkeys check box - mark it to turn on the Hotkeys feature in full.

Hotkeys list box - shows the list of most usable actions and their assigned key combinations, allows turning on/off the particular hotkey using the check box on the left of action's name, and displays the current hotkey status: if everything is OK the status is clear, otherwise it warns you in case you already assigned this combination to another action ("duplicate hotkey") or the assigned combination is already used by other applications (including Windows® itself).

Note
Here is the list of key combinations reserved by Windows® for various system actions: <Alt+Tab>, <Alt+Shift+Tab>, <Win+Tab>, <Win+Shift+Tab>, <Alt+Space>, <Alt+Esc>, <Ctrl+Esc>, <Ctrl+Shift+Esc> <Win+D>, <Win+E>, <Win+F>, <Win+L>, <Win+M>, <Win+R>. Assigning any of these key combinations to Actual Window Manager actions will result in "Already used by the system or other applications" warning.

Key Combination group - contains the visual controls which allow modifying the key combination assigned to the action currently selected in the Hotkeys list box:

Win + check box - mark it to include the special <Win> key to the current key combination

Ctrl + check box - mark it to include the special <Ctrl> key to the current key combination

Shift + check box - mark it to include the special <Shift> key to the current key combination

Alt + check box - mark it to include the special <Alt> key to the current key combination

Hotkey box - click it and then press the desired alphanumeric key to complete the combination.

Numpad group - contains the visual controls allowing to customize the key combinations for the numpad hotkey groups:

Enable quick window alignment check box - mark it to enable the Quick Alignment hotkey group. In the related group of controls you can define the set of modifier keys and specify the alphanumeric key for each one of 9 pre-defined alignment positions (by default the Num1..Num9 keys are specified). If some of specified combinations produce conflicts their hotkey boxes will become red-outlined;

Enable quick window stretching check box - mark it to enable the Quick Stretching hotkey group. In the related group of controls you can define the set of modifier keys and specify the alphanumeric key for each one of 8 pre-defined directions of stretching (by default the Num1..Num9 keys are specified). If some of specified combinations produce conflicts their hotkey boxes will become red-outlined.
