Features

Here's a list of features packed within the library

• Supports .NET Framework 4.0 and higher.

• Manages system-wide hotkeys in a CRUD-like fashion with the methods Add(), Update(), Remove() and RemoveAll(). You can also suspend and resume hotkeys using the methods Suspend() and Resume().

• Determines the pressed hotkey(s) using the HotkeyPressed event and its Hotkey argument.

• Determines the application from which a hotkey was pressed using the HotkeyPressed event's SourceApplication argument.

• In addition to hotkey-listening, the HotkeySelector class lets you enable any control to be used for selecting hotkeys at runtime. HotkeyListener would pretty much be half-baked if this class wasn't available, and thus the need for it. This will be super handy for applications that let end-users choose their own preferred hotkey(s) for certain features to be invoked/launched.

• The library includes a helper method, GetSelection(), which lets you get the text selected from any active application where a hotkey was pressed. To get a glimpse of what's possible with this feature, think of how WordWeb is able to lookup the definition of any phrase you've selected at the press of a hotkey... Or how Cintanotes lets you save highlighted texts as notes from any active application in an instant. That's precisely what you can achieve with HotkeyListener.
