Can't use Win+z for hotkeys

Post by DutchmanDavid »

I just installed the newest version of Everything (1.3.4.686) on my fresh Windows install (8.1) and now I can't use my trusty Win+z hotkey combo to open up Everything.

If I go to Options > Keyboard > Toggle Window Hotkey and press Win+z it will simply not accept it! Alt/Ctrl/Shift+z (or any combo of these 3 keys) work fine, but using Win and any other key won't!

Even if I forcefully change the settings in the .ini file and restart the program, it'll show Win+z, but still won't work!

Win8+ has some hardcoded hotkeys.
(Not sure offhand if Win+Z is one of them?)

Yes, Win+Z is one of them, Keyboard shortcuts.
(Can it be changed?)
