How can I find out which keyboard shortcuts are defined inside the Start menu? And what shortcuts they are assigned to?
Platform: Windows XP SP2 64 bit.
Example:
I open my main Visual Studio solution with a shortcut key, Ctrl+Alt+M. This is set up by having a shortcut inside the Start menu with:
Target: "D:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe" D:\dproj\MSQall\MSQuant\MSQuant.sln
Shortcut key: Ctrl+ALT+M
If a new shortcut is added and its shortcut key is also set to Ctrl+Alt+M then there are now two shortcuts with the same shortcut key (conflict). To prevent this it would be nice to know which shortcut keys are already assigned and to which shortcuts.
1I just downloaded and tried it. It is very useful although it does not locate the shortcut. But at least it can be used to find out which shortcut keys are free, including the Windows key ones, e.g. Win+A. – Peter Mortensen – 2009-08-21T00:24:34.080
Yeah, reading through the linked StackOverflow post, it doesn't look like there's any way to see what programs have grabbed what shortcuts. – Jared Harley – 2009-08-21T00:37:49.903
