Hi guys,
on my PortableApps 11.2 platform I am facing a strange probleme I didnt have on the older versions.
After opening the applications for the first time (apps like Opera, Notepad++ or SuperPutty), when I click the "|" (pipe) button, the menu of POrtableApps is brought in the foreground. I have to close it, and come back to the app I was before. I was looking for the shortcuts leading the pipe to the PA menu, but I found nothing...
Is it a known bug ?
cheers,
Michal
It's not a known bug. And the PA.c Menu only binds CTRL-ALT-SPACE by default. If you're using a laptop with an oddball keyboard layout, Windows could possibly confuse the two. In theory, I suppose, as I've never seen it happen in practice.
You can change the hotkey by manually editing the INI with the platform closed:

Actually, I found now that it was not "|" that was bringing the PortableApps menu on the foreground... It was the combination "right alt + space"... When I wanted to tap "|" on the french keyboard (AZERTY), I was using the "alt gr + 6" and the "space" directly after that.
So I have to modify the INI file now. I will try it out! Thanks.
'Alt Gr'-'Space' (german keyboard layout) opens the menu by default too.
You are both right. Unfortunately I cannot disable it:
This is what I have:
GlobalHotKey=CTRL-ALT-SPACE
This is what I changed:
GlobalHotKey=DISABLED
But after every restart of the PortableApps this value is on "CTRL-ALT-SPACE" again...
I would like to desactivate this menu showing up cause this is driving me crazy :(:(
as John stated, that your platform is closed while changing the values in the .ini file. It will not save if the platform is open.
Hope this helps!
