Hi Viktor,
todotxt.net doesn't use win-t, as far as I'm aware. It does use win-alt-t -
are you saying that using win-alt-t gives you the error?

Cheers,

Ben

This is annoying, I get the error every time the app starts. And there doesn't seem to be an easy way to change the windows hotkey.

I just changed the hotkey in the code: MainWindow.xaml.cs

Suggestions on how this should be fixed?

  1. Option to disable the hotkey (easy, I could implement assuming a pull request would be accepted)
  2. Static alternative hotkey (easy, I could implement assuming a pull request would be accepted)
  3. Ability to select a hotkey (bit more work, I'm probably not interested in doing a pull request for this)
  4. Something else?

Assuming an alternative hotkey, what should it be?

Viable, but somewhat disappointing workaround is to disable minimize to tray as the hotkey is only registered when this option is set.

synick, are you planning on doing a pull request? What alternative key did you choose?

I am using V3.3.0.0 portable version and if option "minimise to system tray" is on, at every start of the app the message "Hotkey already in use" appears.
Therefore I cleared the system tray option and everything is fine for me.
BTW: Win10 1903 german.
@benrhughes Thank you for this useful app.

Hotkey to show/hide the app was changed in benrhughes#334 and benrhughes#294, reflecting it in the doc.
