Windows shortcuts no longer work?

[andyd0]

I believe instead of using the Windows button for Windows shortcuts I would use Ctrl instead. At some point, that stopped working. Is there something I need to change?

That should still be working as you would expect, the physical Ctrl key ought to be the Windows key in most cases, besides things like Ctrl+Tab or Ctrl+C in the terminal.

I also just made an update on master that helps expand this more so on Chromebooks than what it was doing previously. Chromebooks are limited though so I ended up converting the Right Alt key to a Win key - but also the Capslock key if they are not on the official ChromeOS.

So the shortcut I typically use is Win-E for opening windows explorer. With kinto Windows keyboard enabled, I can no longer open windows explorer using Ctrl-E. I used to be able to though.

That is intentional, macOS hotkeys > Windows/Linux hotkeys. I have now added Alt-Cmd-Space as a replacement for Ctrl-E (aka Win-E) due to your post.

Ctrl-E is part of emacs style text cursor manipulation, a staple of *nix OS's and POSIX based systems. (Earlier versions of Kinto did not yet have emacs hotkeys implemented or contributed to the project)

Please consult your ~.kinto\kinto.ahk file in the future for " #*:: " hotkeys or any hotkey you believe you are lacking and I will add their macOS counterparts, if they have no already been added. Otherwise - if there is a conflict then the Windows or Linux combo will not work out, but I do not disable hotkeys that do not conflict with known hotkeys which this project is geared towards. You may also use the appropriate thread going forward for any missing hotkeys. #115

# = Win
! = Alt
^ = Ctrl

I do need to update this thread as well but some hotkeys can be readibly seen in these translation tables #44 .

Win+A - Notification = No replacement
Win+D - Show Desktop = Cmd+F3
Win+K - Connect sidebar = No replacement
Win+N - Nothing assigned
Win+P - Presentation mode = No replacement
Win+B - Selects first icon in systray = No replacement

Kinto inevitably has a few casualties, not much I can do about them unless there's an equivalent suggested to me that align w/ macs. Otherwise it becomes my opinion or preference which is anyone's guess. Always find the mac way of doing a shortcut if you can and I will happily jump on correcting it, if it doesn't exist then your call on how to add it is as good as mine.
