Re (windows) keys after another program disabled it
Quake3 disabled alt keys and windows .
Is there a way to reinstall them even while Quake3 is running? I need these keys even when I have the game open.
They seem to work for me, is that the game registers the hotkey with RegisterHotKey and then every time the key is pressed the handle property is set to true.
So if you use UnRegisterHotkey on those keys in a quake3 window, I think the keys will start working again. The problem is that you have no idea which hotkey the disabled keys have.
Is there a way to list the hotkeys that the window has registered to get all the hotkeys?
It is very likely that Quake3 doesn't bother with RegisterHotKey at all, but instead uses DirectInput. In this case, the keyboard is most likely in exclusive mode, which explains why the Windows key isn't working - it's the OS that turns it off. MSDN Quoting : "In exclusive mode, the Windows logo key is always disabled."
