Discovering assigned K/B shortcuts?

T

Terry Pinnell

I had a problem that turned out to be due to an application I'd installed
recently assigning a Windows 'keyboard shortcut' to run itself. It took me
a while to sort this, because under Options in the program (Winspector)
there was no setting for this shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+w). It must have been
automatically set when Winspector was installed.

So: is there some way I can find any other apps with such keyboard
shortcuts assigned please?

This is what I've used for years:
Shortcuts Map - manage hotkeys assigned to Windows shortcuts

Thanks Glen, very handy.

I was surprised to find there were only 3 assigned (after I'd already
removed Winspector's). I hadn't known of any them. Two were a couple of
Nvidia utilities, the other a shortcut to an HTM file on my HD.

It may be unrelated, but directly after using Shortcuts Map (including
changing the assignment for that HTM shortcut from Ctl+Alt+e to
Ctl+Alt+F10), my Firefox browser is opening at a different size than
usual. Instead of returning to its last size, it's opening at 1024 x 768
(on this 1920 x 1200 screen). Ring any bells?

Sorry Terry, I've got no idea what caused the Firefox size issue and
can't figure how Shortcuts Map would be involved in something like that.
Strange..... coincidence?
