Default WindowShade X and hotkeys - 06-30-2009, 06:28 PM

I have started using WindowShade X and I'm having a devil of a time adding hotkeys. I haven't found much help out on the internet and figured SOMEONE here is using this application.

What I'm trying to do is CTRL + ALT + Space to activate the rollup - I use this key combination in Ubuntu all the time and I'm trying to make it do the same thing in OSX. I am able to add something to the events list, but if I close System Preferences it disappears. Is there a way to modify the plist to include this?

I've had the same issue with setting up emacs in a terminal on my desktop G4. Seems the OS doesn't allow a control and space to be a separate event. It took me ages to figure out why Ctrl+Space didn't set the mark in emacs.

So, short answer, you'll have to pick a different key combo, without the space bar.

Interesting, and good to know. Don't have my mini with me, but I noticed that it didn't work for ANY key combination. :/
