keyboard-shortcuts

How can I create an application that performs an action with keyboard shortcut (App must be unvisible). For example Shows MessageBox when user press Ctrl + Alt + W . Chris Taylor One solution would be to use interop and use the Win32 RegisterHotKey API. Here is a quick and dirty example I just put together so it is not well tested and I am not sure that there are no unexepcted side effects, but it should work. First here is a simple HotKeyManager this takes care of the basic interop, provides a hidden window to handle the native Windows messages (WM_HOTKEY) which is translated into a .NET

I want to create a windows utility application, which can be called anytime from within any other application using a keyboard shortcut, e.g.: • Win + T • Ctrl + T • Alt + T • Ctrl + Alt + T • Ctrl + Shift + T What key combinations can I use and how to setup those in the windows registry? (If the shortcut is used by an other application, it should of course not work.) Amr Elgarhy An option for doing that programatically when your application start is calling this Windows API: RegisterHotKey(IntPtr hwnd, int id, int fsModifiers, int vk); And to unregister call this API: UnregisterHotKey(IntPtr

I'm curious how i, with the following jQuery plugin code im writing at the bottom of this question, could implement key combos. How it's working so far is it allows a user to create key commands simply by doing a normal jQuery like syntax and provide an event for the key command, like so: $(window).jkey('a',function(){ alert('you pressed the a key!'); }); or $(window).jkey('b c d',function(){ alert('you pressed either the b, c, or d key!'); }); and lastly what i want is the ability to do, but can't figure out: $(window).jkey('alt+n',function(){ alert('you pressed alt+n!'); }); I know how to do

I want to easily create links to classes, methods, fields, etc. from within my Javadocs without having to type out the full expression e.g., {@link AllowAllHostnameVerifier} . What is the fastest way to do this in Eclipse? Jeff Axelrod If you don't already have a Javadoc for the element you're documenting, press Shift + Alt + J . Using the AllowAllHostnameVerifier example, from within the Javadoc comment where you'd like the link, use autocomplete: Type AAHV then Ctrl + Space . Select {@link AllowAllHostnameVerifier} from the list of autocomplete options by pressing ↓ then Enter . As an

I am building a tool using C#. It's a Windows application. I have one text box on a form, and I want to assign focus to that text box when the user presses Ctrl + F or Ctrl + S . How do I do this? Capture the KeyDown event and place an if statement in it to check what keys were pressed. private void form_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e) { if ((e.Control && e.KeyCode == Keys.F) || (e.Control && e.KeyCode == Keys.S)) { txtSearch.Focus(); } } Aseem Gautam One way is to override the ProcessCMDKey event. protected override bool ProcessCmdKey(ref Message msg, Keys keyData) { if (keyData ==
