Issue with Default Shortcuts

[doolhoofd]

Hy!
Thank you for your understanding regarding the programming efforts, and for thinking ahead as well.
You can rest assured that the team has every intention to address the shortcuts issue as soon as possible:

Adjust Keyboard Shortcuts Keymap

This would fix some issues we’re running into with Non-English keyboards conflicting with the default keyboard shortcuts.

Option to change keyboard shortcuts (and re-enable keyboard shortcuts for non-US keyboards)

In the meanwhile, one of our most helpful forum regulars proposed the following solution:

@Antman

You are describing a hotkey conflict. If we accept that DFX cannot resolve the write error on the saved state, there is no option but to re-assign the key thru a third-party app or setting. Google [hotkey manager].

Your install should save the setting. My “tip” is a hack. I would use SharpKeys to create the registry string or entry. Then, I would save that as a .reg file for future use. On a new OS install, if the setting continues to fail, merge the reg file. No need to install a keymapper.

Pro Tip:
Modify that file to remove the settings. Save both ie “KeymapEnable.reg” and “KeymapDisable.reg”

There is nothing proprietary about key mapping.

And yet another solution would be to simply disable the shortcuts for the time being, and avoid the key conflict altogether. There’s a checkbox in the Settings menu dedicated to the shortcuts:

The team also added the following info which could be useful towards this purpose:

If they’re greyed out they should already be disabled. But it sounds like they’re still active? @bvijay any idea what might be going on here?

@bvijay

The option can get greyed out if the keyboard is non-English or if the keyboard language selected in the system settings is non-English. So, please check the keyboard language selected in system tray or system settings.
