Hello all, yes i think it would be cool to add windows key for shortcut functions in the misc option panel, like that you can avoid conflict between other softs 'in top', thanks

Along those lines, why aren't more keys bindable, for example, +, -, and such?

I think there are some Windows limitations, like different keyboard layouts are preventing a global solution, not sure tho. Anyway, you can use AutoHotkey to define any shortcut key in TC.

WM_CHAR with 0x2b (+) as the character is generic, whatever the keyboard.

Another request (from a co-worker): bind numpad keys, that is, VK_NUMPAD1, VK_NUMPAD2, and so on. He wants to bind Ctrl+Numpad1 to cm_SrcActivateTab1 (and so on).

Why not use AutoHokey? It really does what you want!

I don't have anything against using autohotkey, but I'd rather this was enabled in Total Commander, if only for the reason that it's a lot easier to set up for co-workers that way.

Note: I use autohotkey for loads of things.

My full sized keyboard has a Fn modifier key for function keys, is it possible to use this Fn key with Autohotkey in order to have 24 function keys ?. Thanks.

sas2000,
That depends on if AHK sees it. You can try by running any script, double clicking it, pressing Ctrl-K, the Fn key and refresh the key list by pressing F5. If it is mentioned between Ctrl, K and F5, then AHK can see it.

Some antivirus software report as malicious programs compiled with AHK.

Yes, please browse the AHK forum for detailed explanations. Rule of thumb: there is not spyware or virus in AHK
