Dexpot Forum

I have a ThinkPad laptop, which comes with a nigh-useless blue Fn button in the lower-left corner (yet no Windows key ) - it would be fantastic if said blue button could be used as a Dexpot modifier key, it'd allow many easy to use & remember unique shortcuts. At the moment it's just set to switch back to the last-used desktop, but I'm sure it could be utilised much more effectively.

Is it possible to either change the saved shortcut keys for a given function by editing a settings file or similar to allow me to enter the non-selectable character code (unlikely, but you never know), or if not, could you consider the ability to specify custom modifier keys a feature request?

Regarding feature requests, if each desktop could have it's own virtual clipboard, that'd be amazing too.

Hi,

Of course you can set your own hotkeys

Go to Dexpot settings > Controls and define for nearly everything your desired hotkeys. Found it?

Old thread, I know, but I found a very dodgy solution to this problem and it might help someone.

Step 1: Save your profile in settings, suppose you name it "Profile 1".
Step 2: Go to C:\Users\Your_Username\AppData\Roaming\Dexpot\profile
Step 3: Open the file with the name of your saved profile in wordpad (Profile1.dxp in out case).
Step 4: Scroll down to the part where it says hotkeys, it's in German, get over it.
Step 5: Redefine any hotkey you want using keycodes found here.
Step 5.5: If the above link doesn't have the keycode you need, use google and find it yourself.
Step 6: Load your profile in settings. All done.

I wanted to use the Windows Key as a hotkey, not as a modifier and that's the only way I could make it work without using third-party software to remap keys.
