The windows Hotkey widget does not accept all keys which means that some Hotkeys cannot be entered directly using the Setup dialog. For example the hotkeys Win+Space<\/strong>, Ctrl+PageUp<\/strong>, Ctrl+Enter<\/strong> cannot be entered.<\/p>\n

These hotkeys can still be used but to do so VirtuaWin’s virtuawin.cfg file must be manually edited.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Open VirtuaWin’s setup dialog and go to the required Hotkey setting, note the name of the hotkey.<\/li>\n
  2. Set the hotkey so the modifier for the key is correct, the key is unimportant. For example if Win+Space<\/strong> is required then set the hotkey to Win+A<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  3. Press the ‘Explore Config’ button on the Setup Expert page to open an explorer listing your VirtuaWin configuration files (for earlier versions of VirtuaWin without this feature you will need to locate these files manually)<\/li>\n
  4. Close VirtuaWin setup and exit VirtuaWin.<\/li>\n
  5. Run Notepad and then drag the virtuawin.cfg file from the Explorer window onto Notepad.<\/li>\n
  6. Use the following table to locate the right line to edit:
    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

    Note:<\/strong> Not all key and modifier combinations have been tested, some may not work.<\/li>\n

  8. Save the virtuawin.cfg file and exit notepad.<\/li>\n
  9. Start VirtuaWin, and test the key, if it does not work as expected open the Setup dialog and check the hotkey settings (you may have edited the wrong one or got the wrong value).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Note:<\/strong> The key shown in the Setup hotkey field may not appear to be correct, for example Insert<\/strong> can be displayed as Num 0<\/strong>, this appears to happen for any key that is on the numeric keypad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
