Possible to Hotkey Winkey+E ??

Post by MushyWaffle »

So first, I'm loving Salamander. However, I am a heavy keyboard user and love my shortcuts. I am always just popping Winkey+E for file access. I know this is native MS Windows command, but is there a way to have it launch Salamander instead of MS Explorer? Having to manually launch S from an icon is just too painful for me.

Do you know you can assign your own hot key to Altap Salamander (or any other) shortcut? We are starting it this way.

I prefere to use CTRL+ALT+S for Salamander and leave the WinKey+E as is.

I understand, but I want the Win+E.. because that is the command that brings up File Explorer natively on 250 workstations I have. So I try to maintain habits and lack of customization, so I can move easily between them. I have customized heavily in the past and all it did was make me frustrated other machines didn't do the same. So I stick with the default commands.

To first responder (sorry, once I hite replay it doesn't let me see original)... No I didn't, which is why I was asking. SO, are you saying I can use the Win+E then?

You can not freely change default windows shortcuts...

THe only "workarround" is autohotkey. But IMO thats messy.
