Talk:Keyboard shortcut

message: I think this article should mention something about chord shortcut keys, such as Ctrl+M, O or Ctrl+M, L in Visual Studio 2005, where a single keyboard shortcut is composed of two separate sets of keypresses.

message: The best hotkey program for Windows I've found is HoeKey. It is designed for tech-heads though, something else may be better for easy but less powerful usage. ··gracefool |☺ 03:27, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hotkey programs for Windows 

message: When I added the Window shortcuts, I realised that it needed the + signs on it, and I haven't got time to add all the + signs in, so can you help over 1,000,000 people and add the + signs, It would really honor me to have this happen.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pparadza (talk • contribs) 19:30, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

message: quote: "...a keyboard shortcut is a finite set of one or more keys". A "set" has no order. But the order does matter if you use a series of keys to invoke a shortcut.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.113.71.71 (talk) 10:42, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

message: That "mnemonic definition on SUN glossary" link does not seem to bring anymore where the author intended, am I right? I suggest to remove it, if I'm right.

thread_title:  mnemonic definition on SUN glossary 

message: I note in passing that an edit in July by anonymous user 14.195.177.8 (their sole contribution, I think) has duplicated (with additions) two paragraphs in the Description section. I don't feel qualified to edit the error, but equally don't want to simply Undo, which would be a sledgehammer to crack an egg. Perhaps someone more qualified might feel disposed to fix the problem?

thread_title:  Screwed-up Edit 

message: The information in the top section of article regarding Windows hot-keys is incorrect in two ways:
# "latter represents a designated letter in a menu command or toolbar button that when pressed together with the Alt key, activates such command."  The online documentation from Microsoft does not restrict hot-keys to menus and toolbars:  
# State of program responsible for handling keystrokes:  Based on the reference above, hot-keys must be handled by a foreground process.  The only exception would be system-wide hot-keys that are handled by the OS itself.
Since he general reader may not understand the intricacies of Windows message queuing, the article could simply state that handling of hot-keys is given highest priority within the foreground process.

thread_title:  Windows Hotkeys 

message: There are two different, non-compatible definitions of hotkey in this sentence.  (I don't know which is correct.)
"For instance, Microsoft differentiates keyboard shortcuts from hotkeys ("mnemonics" on Windows) whereby the former consists of a specific key combination used to trigger an action, and the latter represents a designated letter in a menu command or toolbar button that when pressed together with the Alt key, activates such command—whereas a "hotkey" on Windows is a system wide shortcut that is always available in all contexts as long as the program responsible for it is running and not suspended."

message: Would it be okay to include a chart like this in the article? It doesn't have to be this particular one. Maybe something from a FOSS program. SharkD  Talk  18:40, 16 November 2016 (UTC)

message: It would be interesting to discuss Emacs as well as the Space-cadet keyboard it was designed for, since they take such a large departure from what we are used to these days. SharkD  Talk  11:54, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Emacs 

message: What you actually do (albeit briefly) is hold down one key, tap another key (or keys), and then release the first key.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.135.210.152 (talk) 11:19, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
