Some of the applications registers its default hotkey globally, which means it can be invoked any time by pressing the specified key combination. Many a times different apps uses same hotkey and ultimately results in conflict. Take Launchy for instance, it registers ‘Alt+Space’ hotkey by default. But if any new application installed uses the same hotkey, Lauchy will end up in popping a warning saying that it is not able to register its hotkey so configure an alternate one. This might sometimes be annoying because you might be using that hotkey for years and suddenly you are asked to change it just because who don’t know which is the other application creating the conflict Another scenario is while writing your own AutoHotKey scripts. You might want to assign a shortcut for the application you have created but have to make sure that it is not taken by any of the others. To resolve all these we have something called as Hotkey detector.Hotkey Commander is a Hotkey detector software which can detect the hotkeys used up by the applications you have installed. This will list the applications and corresponding hotkeys registered by it. This can help us maintaining the hotkey of our favorite app and to change the hotkey config of its duel. (I had my google desktop conflicting my Launchy hotkey and could reconfigure by following these instructions)
