Hey Rick, Have a look at my HotWind app (very short); it allows the user to choose any of control, alt, shift, windows, insert, and application. Window-Eyes seems to accept any combination of these, although I don't think I've tested anything with more than 3 modifiers at once. Also, don't forget you can really have capslock as another modifier, just not distinct from insert (but in might help in some of the combinations you're planning <grin>). Since any user can change any hotkey (assuming we're all using the hotkey manager), I don't worry too much about choosing the perfect hotkey selections right out of the box; I do count on users setting things up to suit themselves. The more I think about it, the more I think the hotkey manager is the most valuable toolkit object we have! (although, the error handler is running a close second). Chip

I am thinking of using control-windows-alt-whatever to keep my hot keys seperat from all other hot keys but consistent. Is the correct window eyes word "windows" in this senario and can I use a 4 key combination to trigger an action or is that too many keys for a Hot Key? I couldnt find the WindowEyes Dialog that lists the names of the keys that are available or if there is a limit on the number of keys in a "hot key" combination.. Rick USA
