Was this when you remapped a shortcut with Keyboard Manager? Can you give an example?

[Techvellar]

Nope so when we use Shortcut Guide i want to maximize or minimize a app from taskbar so we use the Win+Numeric keys so in that i cannot use my Numpad keys i have to use the Upper section numeric keys. That is the problem.

Thanks for the clarification @Techvellar

It is very important issue.
numpad keys are much more ergonomic to use because they are right next to my mouse.
Please make it so both numpad and upper section numeric keys can be used for win+# shortcuts.

@enricogior I'm not sure if this actually is an issue with Shortcut Guide, but rather with those windows shortcuts itself, because if I press Win+NumPad 3 nothing happens (when num lock is on or off).

Windows distinguishes number line and numpad keys. Only line ones handle taskbar, when used with Win. And additionally, with other modifiers for more actions - like new window or context menu for particular taskbar button.

You can use Keyboard Manager to bind numpad shortcuts to number line ones.

Thus it has nothing to do with the scope of Shortcut Guide.

@arjunbalgovind
if I'm not mistaken, ShortcutGuide doesn't process the Win + num, it only shows the number, but it's Windows itself that takes care of processing the shortcut.

This is Windows, outside our scope
