I've been having quite a trouble with Google Desktop binding all sorts of keyboard shortcuts that interfere with my work. Most annoying was with its binding of Win+Space, that collides with my Launchy hotkey. I solved this by tuning the startup order of applications, but it wasn't pretty. Today I found new hope. According to this post, shortcuts can be configured via registry:
In „HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Google Desktop\Preferences“
create a DWORD value named „hot_key_flags“.
Setting this value to:
- „0“ disables both Ctrl-Alt-G and Windows-G
- „1“ disables Windows-G, but leaves Ctrl-Alt-G enabled
- „2“ disables Ctrl-Alt-G, but leaves Windows-G enabled
- Removing the key or setting the value to „3“ or higher will enable both keys.
This solved my problem with AltGr+G, later I will try if it also helped launchy.
