::Menu access using hotkeys::
The basic way to set up a hotkey is to add a new STRING value in
HKCU\Software\geO\geOShell\Services\Hotkey\szIDs
with a name of your choice (e.g. Fred), and set the value to MODIFIERS|KEYTOBEPRESSED|COMMAND, where:
| MODIFIERS | = | any combination of "win", "ctrl", "alt" and "shift" |
| KEYTOBEPRESSED | = | the hotkey - see below for details |
| COMMAND | = | what you want to execute |
You might end up with an entry like this:
"Fred"="WIN+CTRL|CAPITAL|C:\\windows\\charmap.exe"
Next set up a parallel entry in
HKCU\Software\geO\geOShell\Services\Hotkey\uIDs
with the same name (Fred), make it a DWORD and set the value to either 0 if your hotkey is intended to execute a command or 1 if you want it to bring up a menu.
If you set the uID to 0, COMMAND can be any command, with parameters.
If you set the uID to 1, COMMAND can be any Registry Menu, Disk Menu or Default Menu.
::Support for previous hotkey styles::
In earlier versions of geOShell the '_'character was used as a separator in the hotkey defininitions, rather than the current '|' character. This is still supported but new hotkeys should be defined using the new scheme.
