hey

i installed "i hate this key"
so now this nervwrecking startmenue doesnt always popup

but i am a macuser
and the apple key is very cool in maya under macosx
a mix between crtl and alt

i would love to have this in win too
but the hotkey manager wont let me assign the windows key
also i cant assign a second key to navigation

it would be cool if the win key would function as alt key in windows

any suggestions ?

you could use autohotkey for this task:
www.autohotkey.com (http://www.autohotkey.com) (its freeware)

install and then create a textfile like "myHotkey.ahk" and put following code in it:


LWin::
Send {Alt Down}
Loop
{
Sleep, 10
GetKeyState, state, LWin, P
if state = U
{
Send {Alt Up}
break
}

}
return


Then launch the script. You could also put it in the autostart folder if you like

Hope this helps..

greetings
