Show Context Menu with all Actions

Popup context menu with all actions from window Keyboard Shortcuts Settings.

 

Show the task switching window with opened documents and executed applications

By default, the task switching window is opened with the Alt+Tab keyboard combination. The main advantage of the Comfort Keys task switching window is that all running applications are shown in the form of a compact list.

You no longer need to guess the difference between applications if they have the same icons.

Moreover, you can specify your own shortcut key for switching between tasks.

 

See details about configuring advanced parameters in the Task switching window section.

 

Show the list of the lastly launched programs

By default, Comfort Keys stores the history of all launched programs. You can use this action to open the window with the recently run applications.

To start a program again, select it from the list or press a shortcut numeric key (0..9).

 

Show Desktop with hot keys

Comfort Keys has a unique built-in mechanism for displaying the desktop with shortcut keys. Press the shortcut (a key) and hold it down. As soon as you release the key, all hidden windows will be restored. If you hold down the key, you can work with desktop shortcuts and start applications using shortcut keys (0..Z) displayed next to shortcuts.

 

Note: When you specify a shortcut key for this action, we recommend that you use the CapsLock, NumLock, ScrollLock, Tab keys in combination with control keys.
