Assigned hotkey doesn't work after while
« on: October 21, 2015, 20:25:02 »
Keyboard hotkey (Switch hidden/system files) after some time stops working. When I reassign it, it works for a while but then all is repeated again.

Can not reproduce that. Works for me.

It is hard to say why since you did not provide any more information,
Might depend on what command you use and how you assign it and and to what key and so on

What information do you need?

what command you use
Switch hidden/system files

how you assign it
As usual. Via the "Keyboard customization" in Configuration menu. I don't know any other ways.

and to what key
Usually I assign to "Ctrl + ]"

Have you tried another key ? maybe there is some kind of conflict with that key.  I can test that key because on my KB that key is already a combination key and it not the same.

Yes, I tried "Alt + [" recently and it also stopped working soon. After pressing such strange sound beeps like when window is locked in Windows.

With another key I mean more like a Normal key..  [ and ] are in the special key range.
I guess that they collide with something else with you keyboard setup
Most keyboard have [ and ] on combinations keys..  AltGr+8 (That are the same as Ctrl+Alt+8) So they can't be set as shortcut key...

Yes, it seems to be some conflict. With another hotkey all is working smoothly.
