[File Management :: Peek] change the DEFAULT activation short cut.

Open imkzh opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Ctrl-space is widely used as switching IME (input method) (particularly on Windows), apps should never use such shortcut as default.

Making Ctrl-space as the default is unthoughtful and ignorant.

Scenario when this would be used?

always

Supporting information

At least let user decide if he/she like to keep the Ctrl-space assignment, or detect the current setting for IME and use a fallback shortcut.

If you are going to implement this, please also aware that some user are used to ctrl-space and don't want it being changed. A better solution is change the default for new installations, and ask existing users if they want keep the 'ctrl-space' assignment.

Also, developers may prevent user from setting ctrl-space, if they read IME settings (from registry or somewhere it is stored) and find a conflict.
