Google desktop shortcut settings

While trying to change the key layout on my computer to make it easier for me while developing I noticed that I couldn’t remap AltGr+G. Google Desktop uses it, as well as Windows+G, as a shortcut to the search textbox. Luckily I found a way to change this behaviour by editing the registry as outlined in this newsgroup thread.

In “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Google Desktop\Preferences”
create a DWORD value named “hot_key_flags”.
Setting this value to:
– “0” disables both Ctrl-Alt-G and Windows-G
– “1” disables Windows-G, but leaves Ctrl-Alt-G enabled
– “2” disables Ctrl-Alt-G, but leaves Windows-G enabled
– Removing the key or setting the value to “3” or higher will enable
both keys.

So now I can get back to remapping some previously hard to reach keys to more convenient places.

  2. I had some trouble accessing my account before but this login portal solved everything. It is stable and the support team is very helpful. 365cucilogin is definitely the way to go.

  3. A very honest and transparent platform. I love how they handle the bonuses and the terms are actually clear. I feel safe playing on vnlc888.
