The Hotkeys Discussion Forum is a forum where users of Hotkeys (including the author) can post their experiences with the program, suggestions etc.
Also, any questions regarding the use of the program can be posted here and I'll try to answer them within one working day.

Hoi arjen,
Patrick wil graag weten (uiterlijk morgen) of je ook naar de bruiloft komt.
Mail mij even, dan mail ik hem wel (of krijg je zijn e-mail adres, zit nu thuis)
I would like to "send keystrokes {BACKSPACE}" for
Totkey: Ctrl-H. I set Hotkey 1.51.
But Applications(Netscape, FronPage, ...) receive Ctrl-Backspace, not Backspace only. Why?
>- much slower than 1.01
>- I can't input many Ctrl-H continuously
>( I have to release Control keys between Ctrl-H >and next Ctrl-H )
Now I understand the reason. Ver. 1.51 waits
"Releasing Ctrl" before action.
That's why I felt very slow, and of course I need
releasing Ctrl between Ctrl-H and Ctrl-H.
Can you do anything for this? Maybe I need "accel"
option (w/o waiting releasing) to continue using...
Now I read Help:
When using a Sendkey command, Hotkeys remained active. If keys were send that corresponded to a hotkey definition, that hotkey definition would be triggered, causing random programs to be run. Although I mentioned this in the previous help file as a feature, it turned out to be very annoying. This version of Hotkeys disables the Hotkeys while sending keystrokes, so this doesn't happen anymore.

To be honest, I don't have a clue why the DBCheckbox doesn't work the way you'd expect.
You are better of asking this question in one of the Delphi newsgroups (you might want to check www.dejanews.com for newsgroups). This discussion group is for the use of the Hotkeys program (which was written in Delphi).
As a fellow Delphi programmer, I appreciate being able to see other programmers code to learn and grow using this great (underestimated!) language of ours, Delphi. Thanks for sharing your cool, well written code with all of us!
Will this 'hotkeys' work on win'98? If so why can't I get it to set up a new hotkey?
I type in a discription, get an ID code and then
chose 'send keystrokes'. I type 'co0156m' in the
'keys to send' box. For a hotkey selection I check the control box and then chose 'caplock'.
The 'hot key is active' box is already cheked and I push the 'Apply' button, then close the editor box.
Now as I understand the instructions that should put that entry into the active list of hotkeys, and to all apperances it dose. Except when I use ctrl+caplock(the key, not the word) I get no responce at all.
Your programe is exactly what I need and want and I would pay good money for it if I could just get it to like me. What am I doing wrong?!!
Although it seems a valid combination, I've just found out that Windows will let you set the Ctrl+Capslock combination for a hotkey, but it never notifies the application that this particular keycombination is pressed. This may have something to do with the fact that Capslock is a toggle key, but I'm not sure.
I'll research the problem and let you know what I find out. For now, the only thing to remedy it is to use a different key-combination (eg ctrl+space).
Hi Broece, originally I thought "postcardware" is a lame idea, but after other people pointer, I realized some progarmer do take the postcard seriously.
You don't know how frequently I use the Hotkeys on my libretto. They are literally MAKE for each other! My beloved libby has one of the worst, if not the mouse built-in mouse, I really need to use the Hotkeys on win32. Simply your program kisk ass.
Come on man speak up, what do you want me to send you from New York City? There must be something better than postcards, and make you all warm up inside and rush to write 10,000 lines of code. :) Do you collect stamps? metrocard, poster? I got some rare used metrocards (metrocard is ticket for subways and public buses.) Maybe some celebrity posters? (then again you can get those things easily on the net)
If you don't answer me, I'm going to send you an adjustable Yankees cap.
Thanks for you absolutely positive report on Hotkeys. I'm glowing ;-)
But seriously, I do think sending a postcard of your hometown is ok (of course, I wouldn't object if you include that Yankees cap you mentioned). It gives me a chance to see where the program is being used and where people got it from. Besides programming is still a hobby of mine and I'm glad that others can use the stuff I originally wrote for my personal use.
what commands do i need to launch programs like quicken, mirosoft word etc. I can't seem to find the answer in the help menu. Could you reply by email please.
Thanks,
Robin
