  • Turns off the hotkeys "screentopright" & "Semi+d".

Notes

• A hotkey which runs this command will still work when hotkeys are suspended.
• If a hotkey has been disabled via the PowerPro Config dialog, it cannot be re-enabled with this function.
• Hotkey names can be found by exporting the hotkeys to an .ini file with PPConfig > Setup >Export; it is the same as the name which appears for the key in the pproconf.exe tabbed configuration dialog.
  • is the last part there (same as the "key") still correct?
• Hotkey names (ID's) can be defined a number of ways, such as in the Target Window field of PowerPro's "hotkey/mouse action" dialog with: ";<id=xxx>" -- including the semicolon & angle brackets, but not the double quotes -- or with .ini configuration files.
