Disabling Alt-Gr
mdes > 2024-05-13 03:33
Hello,
When I double-tap on the Alt-Gr key, the main menu is displayed. But I did not use this key as shortcut.
How to avoid this to have the possibility to use the Alt-Gr+key shortcut in another program?
Best regards,
Michel. -

Hi,
Windows interprets AltGr as Ctrl + Alt to accommodate some compact keyboards like those of netbooks which have neither the AltGr key. Thus AltGr has the same effect as Ctrl + Alt. More info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AltGr_key .
In QAP (Options, Popup Hotkeys), you configured pressing Left Ctrl twice as a shortcut to open the QAP menu. This Ctrl key is also triggered when you double press AltGr. Either disable this option or enable the *Tight* Ctrl instead that is not invoked when pressing AltGr.

Hello Jean, and many thanks for your very quick reply (as usual
).
I removed the "Ctlr twice" although that was very convenient for me
. I will use Alt+Q instead.
Best regards,

Try using Left Ctrl again with the next QAP release (no date at this time). I think I'll have a way to detect AltGr and not open the QAP menu.
