Trouble with hotkeys in Windows 7
Got Xara Xtreme Pro 5, Windows 7 Premium and some problems with hotkeys.
Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V work perfect but Ctrl+Shift+B and Ctrl+Shift+F make some strange effects. Ctrl+Shift+A just do nothing.
I think windows 7 have same system hotkeys, but not sure.
Maybe someone know how to fix it?

Welcome to the forums.
I have moved your thread out of the Xara Xtreme 5: The Official Guide Book forum as it is only for questions about Gary's Official Guide Book.
Re: Trouble with hotkeys in Windows 7
I'd check to see whether you have your Scroll Lock, Num Lock, and/or Caps Lock keys enabled, because these keyboard modifiers work fine for me.

2 sledger - thank you
2 gare - scroll and caps are disabled
Changed keys for Ctrl+Shift+B to Ctrl+Alt+B - work good..
Very strange...
Hope there is another way to use old hotkeys
Re: Trouble with hotkeys in Windows 7
possible your keyboard shift key is having a problem?
does it work when you type capital text?

Hi ntrox,
Welcome to Talkgraphics.
What is your default language/keyboard layout?
Running Xtreme Pro 5 on Windows 7 32bit and 64bit with a US English keyboard, the shortcuts work without any problem.
Re: Trouble with hotkeys in Windows 7
No no - shift and others keys are OK. G11 is invulnerable keyboard ))
Native language - russian. On XP all have worked correct.
I'll try to google some ideas...

are you using the xtreme pro 'customise key shortcuts' on the 'utilities' menu for this?
scroll down and try other key shortcuts with 'shift' in them - do any of them work?
check that the ones that do nothing, or do not do what you expect, are correctly assigned
if you have used another way of customising keys there may be a conflict
Re: Trouble with hotkeys in Windows 7
Using Xara main menu item. No alternate soft.
I'll check the other shortcuts.
Re: Trouble with hotkeys in Windows 7
Got it ))
I have installed HyperSnap-DX. And checked in menu "Enable hotkeys".
This programm grab hotkeys from Xara! )))
Thanx everybody for help!!
Re: Trouble with hotkeys in Windows 7
great - glad you got it sorted :-bd
Running "helper" apps usually don't help you!
This is one for everybody's KnowledgeBase. I'm sorry I didn't see this one sooner.
If you "live" in a program, and adopt modifier and shortcut keys in your work, don't run SnagIt, don't run Yahoo widgets, don't run, or disable hotkeys for any applet you use, because changes are good they'll override Xara's key.
I so DON'T love pressing Ctrl+Spacebar in Photoshop to zoom in, only to find this is also for Windows 7 text-to-speech also, and I hear "There-is-no-text-here...." :(
