WishCow Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 (edited) HeyIf someone can answer my question, he/she shall receive my eternal gratitude. I have been looking for this for 2 hours, and I cannot find a solution.The problem:I want to use the win+space shortcut for Launchy, but windows wants to steal that from me for some "peek desktop" thingy.This combination is burned to my fingers like alt+tab is, so I really really don't want to change it. I also use the same combination for Gnome-Do in Ubuntu.I have read that you can disable all the windows+* key combinations with a registry entry, but I want to keep the win+e win+r win+d shortcuts.So:How can I disable only, and only the win+space shortcut? I don't care if I have to turn to dll hacking, registry editing, file deleting, killing someone, whatever, just give me back my win+space.

jaclaz Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Autohotkey overriding:http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/Hotkeys.htmhttp://www.autohotkey.com/docs/misc/Override.htmShould work.jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WishCow Posted December 6, 2009 Author Share Posted December 6, 2009 Thank you for the great suggestion, but unfortunately it's not good.I managed to override the shortcut, but Launchy still says "The hotkey is already in use". I'll try looking through the docs, maybe I can simulate another key combination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HerbCSO Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Ha! Managed to get it work with the following:#space::Keywait LWinSendInput ^{Space}Thank you for the suggestion! I love you!Love it, too! ;]I personally didn't like the fact that this particular script requires me to release the Win key before it sends the Control-Space, so I did the following instead:#space::SendInput !{Space}That way Launchy appears immediately (and oh yeah, I use Alt-Space for Launchy instead of Control-Space, although I might change the hotkey for Launchy to something completely bizarre now that I have my beloved Win-Space back!).Wonderful stuff, I'm so glad I finally found this! ;] Thanks guys!
