Modifier-only hotkeys support #1284
Comments
That is by design of hotkeys processing. Yes, modifiers can't be used as single hotkeys. I don't understand your question about left/right generalization... |
Well, that's a pity. But not a show-stopper, of course.
Here's some additional details. I open a modifier drop-down list and click on |
You didn't say what action you have tried. |
…difiers (e.g. Ctrl instead of RCtrl/LCtrl).
Thanks for the explanation about WinAPI restrictions. Initially I've observed the behavior with "Local" type, but at the time I didn't even think it's type-dependent... |
Local uses same technique as Global, but Local hotkeys are deregistered when ConEmu is minimized for example. |
AFAICT this issue's subject is clear now, so to help the maintainer with his chores I am closing it. Please reopen if you disagree. |
I was wondering why modifier-only hotkeys (e.g. when keys like
Ctrl
orRAlt
orLShift
are pressed and released one at a time or in combination) are not allowed to be defined? Are there any technical restrictions?It can sometimes be convenient, for example assigning
RCtrl
as a "Switch GUI focus" hotkey (which matches default VirtualBox "host key") and consequently spare yourself conceiving and learning yet another hotkey for a similar action.Also the configuration dialog seems to generalize "left" or "right" modifiers (in spite of them being selectable in drop-down lists) to naïve ones (e.g.
RCtrl
toCtrl
). Is this intended and, if it is, then why?The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
