<h2>Introduction</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>A <em>hotkey</em> means a combination of keys on the keyboard that triggers a specific action. Usually, hotkeys trigger action as long as the application window is focused.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>A <em>global hotkey</em> is a hotkey with a global scope, this means that pressing that key combination will trigger the action, no matter which application is focused.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>In the suite application, hotkeys are used to launch applications from the suite. For example, you could set a keyboard combination that opens the Scientific Calculator.</p>

<h2>Warnings</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>It is strongly recommended that you use more <strong>uncommon</strong> key combinations, otherwise there may be conflicts with the keyboard combinations for other applications.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>For example, you should never use the combination <span style="font-family: Consolas, mono">Ctrl + S</span>, as many applications use it as the <em>Save</em> command. However, the combination <span style="font-family: Consolas, mono">Ctrl + Alt + Shift + S</span> is a good one.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>You should <strong>never</strong> use a single key as global hotkey, other than the media keys. For example, you should never use the key <span style="font-family: Consolas, mono">A</span> as a global hotkey, because whenever you will have to type a word containing the letter 'a', an application will be launched.<p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Also, Microsoft recommends that the <em>Windows</em> key is only used by operating system functions.</p>
