Thx a lot.

Hello Benno,

Great to hear! Yes, that's very possible actually. You can save the hotkey in string format, e.g. myHotkey.ToString(), then upon retrieving it you can convert it into a Hotkey object, e.g. Hotkey myHotkey = HotkeyListener.Convert(myHotkeyInStringForm) and register it once the application starts.

Try this and let me know.

Hi,
Sorry if this comes here post-mortem, but I have an issue with this approach. I am currently doing exactly as suggested by you, @Willy-Kimura -- I have a string representation of the shortcut ("LWin, Alt + S"), but when I try to make a HotKey object out of it (via construction or via Hotkey myHotkey = HotkeyListener.Convert(myHotkeyInStringForm), I get a System.ArgumentException with message "Der angeforderte Wert "LWinS" konnte nicht gefunden werden." (in english: "The value "LWinS" could not be found."). I don't know what to do about this... Is that even a proper string representation that I have there? I got it by creating the HotKey object manually and printing it to terminal.
Any help would be appreciated.

No problem.

Looks like the hotkey is not including the + delimiter after conversion. There may have been an update that resorts to this behaviour. Try reverting to the previous version 1.8.0 to confirm if it works then let me know.

@Willy-Kimura can you give an example of the code for saving in settings. This is what Im doing https://imgur.com/NvixXZM

@Mike276alpha basically I meant you can literally save the hotkey in string format to a settings file, e.g.

File.WriteAllText("C:\my\settings\file.txt", hotkey1.ToString());
