hot keys when application does not have focus

Posted September 28th, 2007 by anthonyd

Is there a way to enable the hotkeys so that not matter what application has focus the hotkeys for combiwave still work?

I see there is an option for "global hotkeys" but selecting it makes no difference.

Hello Anthony,

If you enable "Global Hotkeys" slots can be played by pressing [alt]+[ctrl]+[hotkey]. The hotkey modifiers (alt, ctrl) can be changed in the options dialog.

Please note that only slots 1-20 can be accessed using Global Hotkeys.

Another possible option - that at least tells you what hotkeys to use - can be found under
"Tools"->"Minimize to Tray, activate Global Hotkeys"

Hope this helps,

Chris

Glad that I could help.
I'm sorry that this isn't documented at the moment...

Thanks for asking - this encouraged me to set up a manual page at:

All the best,
