More keys support in shortcuts
[face=courier]The number of supported functions and internal commands is growing, may be it's time to increase the number of supported KBD keys?
1. It is impossible now to use "`", ",", "[", "]", etc. keys for keyboard remapping with Ctrl, Alt, Shift and their combinations, and only functional buttons with at least two modification keys (same C, A & S) work in Start menu.
2. Almost all of us have one more "modification" key Commander do not support - famous "Win key" (the cleanest on most keyboards I've ever seen ). IMHO it is logical to use "Win" key as modification key in Total Commander shortcuts.
P.S. I made a poll.[/face]

Sorry, not possible. TC uses virtual key codes for hotkeys, and there are none (or no fixed) for these special keys - they are different on all international keyboards...
Also the Win key is never passed to applications but caught by the operating system. You need special software (using a system-wide keyboard hook) to catch the Windows key.

TC would have to call GetAsyncKeyState in a loop every few milliseconds - not a good idea in a multitasking environment. TC reacts to WM_KEYDOWN and WM_KEYUP, but these don't seem to be sent for the Windows keys.

The only thing I can say, I use all this keys in other applications' shortcuts regardless of all international keyboards differences, so it is possible in general.
BTW, Christian, why do you dislike the idea of "global" shortcuts?[/face]

Global shortcuts cannot be used in other programs for other commands...Christian, why do you dislike the idea of "global" shortcuts?
