FreeCommander Forum

Hi All

I often use the shortcut Ctrl-Q to preview images in a quick preview panel. It works perfectly in Vista, but recently I got another PC with Windows 7. The shortcut Ctrl-Q does no work at all. However I can open a quick preview panel if I use menu View -> quick preview panel.

I copied all settings from my freecommander XE installed in Vista to Windows 7, but it did not help.

Could you please advise how to fix the problem.
Thanks.

First step is to check if you really have Ctrl+Q shortcut assigned to Quick view (Tool->Define keyboard shortcuts):



Then you have to check if you have another application running that might "steal" that shortcut (it might have it assigned as a global hotkey). I use Ethervane ActiveHotkeys for this purpose (might give you some trouble if your OS is 64 bit, but it's worth a shot - worked for me on my win7x64 when I needed); it's a small portable freeware app made by Marek Jedlinski.

Thank you joby_toss!

Yes I found that my silent translator uses it.

I also found another nice program

which is very useful to find and change used shortcuts.
