· Using Comfort Keys issues  

Q: Can I use Comfort Keys on a network, so all users get the same results for key presses?  
A: Yes. You can place your Actions File on a network resource and open it on any workstation.  
 
Q: Program doesn't react to key combination at all.  
A: Maybe another hotkey manager is running. If not, check that Comfort Keys is turned on.  
 
Q: Does Comfort Keys support a "send email" action type?  
A: Yes. Create the "Run program" Action and specify "mailto:" and the recipient's e-mail address.  
 
Q: Can I use "Open URL" for FTP or Telnet?  
A: Yes. When you create a Action, specify a standard URLs like "ftp://ftp.mycompany.com" or "telnet://mycompany.com" in the "URL to browse" text field.  
 
Q: When Setup Wizard is re-run, will it delete all my previously created Actions?  
A: No. All your Actions will still be accessible. The Setup Wizard will simply add more shortcuts to your set.  
 
Q: Can a key be deactivated on my keyboard?  
A: Yes. Just create an Action with "Block shortcut" action type.  
 
Q: Can the "Sleep" key be used in a shortcut?  
A: No, the "Wake", "Sleep" and "Power" keys cannot be choosen as hotkey or a part of a key combination for any Action.  
 
Q: I have uninstalled Comfort Keys, but it still loads at startup. What is wrong?  
A: It is most likely that you had performed uninstall while Comfort Keys was running, so the uninstaller could not delete some files. The best way to remove Comfort Keys in this case is to install it back, quit from Comfort Keys and uninstall it again.  
 
Q: I have a keyboard with extended keys, but Comfort Keys does not recognize any (or some) of them. What can I do?  
A: First of all, please make sure that you do not have any keyboard-specific program installed and you do not install the software that is shipped with your keyboard (such a software can intercept keystrokes, so Comfort Keys will not catch them). Then, if your keyboard can be plugged into the "PS/2" port but is plugged into the "USB" port, try to connect it via PS/2.  
 
Q: Comfort Keys is really a good tool, so would you mind I localize it to my native language?  
A: Comfort Keys supports multilingual user interface (TXT files in UTF-8 format). See translations at ComfortKeys\Lang\ subfolder. You can e-mail your translation to dev@comfort-software.com.
