    HOTKEY Over-written - How Do I locate and change?


    I have an application called SnagIt (12) from Techsmith that I've used for years. One of the tools I use is the Profiles, where I have set a series of Hotkey actions that will do various screen captures and save to pre-designated file names.

    Recently I have added to my hardware a Graphics Tablet called Gaomon.

    This tablet comes with a configuration setup app that automatically loads at startup and lives in the Windows tray area. It is here where you can change the behavior of the tablet by adding hotkeys to buttons, etc.

    Unfortunately, there is one hotkey (alt-ctrl-H) that does not appear in this configuration app but appears to actually START this app. In other words, when I now press Alt-Ctl-H, instead of it running one of my SnagIt profiles that has that hotkey assigned, it now starts the Gaomon tablet configuration app.

    I cannot find anywhere how to change the Gaomon app startup hotkey to something else. I don't see it anywhere in the app to make this change. Changing the SnagIt hotkey is out of the question. I have too many auto-scripts that rely on that hotkey within SnagIt.

    So I need to change the Gaomon tablet app startup hotkey to something else.

    It must be stored somewhere in Windows, right?

    How to I find it and change it?

    Thanks.

    Have you tried their after-sales support?

    I'm still waiting to hear back from them.

    Meanwhile, I would like to know where these hotkeys are actually located and whether they can be over-written manually.

    Like using Regedit for instance?

    They have to be stored somewhere, don't they?

    I can't seem to find anything on the internet on this subject other than Windows 10 built-in hotkeys, and that is only to enable or disable hotkeys, not to individually modify them.

    You can reassign them e.g. with Autohotkey or some 3rd party tools, so you could try using that to reassign the hot key combo to snagit, provided you know how to express what it should be assigned to in Snagit.

    This still would not answer the original question though. Where are these stored? Can they be manually manipulated? If so, I'd rather change the load-up key rather than have to run yet another AHK script to reset it back again.

    Thanks.

    I wasn't attempting to answer that 'cos I don't know.
