List of globally available shortcuts on a Windows system including 3rd party


Is there a way to get a list of globally available shortcuts on a Windows system, including 3rd party software?

Random examples:

  • WndHop - WinKey + Enter to move a window between monitors

  • Dexpot - Ctrl + Spacebar to open task switcher

  • Launchy - Alt + Spacebar

My goal is to track down shortcut conflicts. Most of the above software can be customised to change the shortcuts aside from WndHop, the later which is not working for me, probably due to a conflict. Currently winkey+enter toggles a windows normal size and maximised, I'm not sure what introduced this shortcut.


Solution

  • I can't see that it would be possible to find all 3rd party short cuts. If an application has created a global keyboard hook to listen for a certain keyboard event there's no way that Windows can tell which keys will make it do various things.
