I am the perfect hotkey tester, because I simply never used hotkeys. In my age it is difficult to remember dozens of hot keys.

Okay, let's start.

Installed and registered automatically without problems on a Win 8.1 64 Bit System.

Starts immediately with the claim, that it cannot register + as hotkey. As I am a hotkey novice I do not understand this message.
The hotkey control center tells me under "statistics" Failure:1 hotkey, but it doesn't give me more information about what hotkey and why. This is simply bad programming. Thumbs down!

The today installed software tells me immediately, that there is an update from Version 1.1 to 1.2. Downloaded the new version, the registration remains for GiveawayOftheDay.

I made a new hotkey for IrfanView, the process is simple and understandable and it works.

Surely a keeper for the hotkey fan.

I rebooted and uninstalled. Not because it is a "bad" software, but I already forget how to call IrfanView. I prefer to click on the symbol...

It does what it says. However, a free (and IMO superior) alternative would be Hotkeyz:

http://www.skynergy.com/hotkeyz.html

I found it to be a better program for the job than Perfect Hotkey for the following reasons:
* It supports more actions, such a keeping a window on top.
* The launching of files and folder is more customizable and supports more options. For instance, if you assigned a hotkey to launch Notepad, you can choose whether you want to open its window maximized, minimized, normal, etc.; and whether you want to open a new instance of it or switch to the previous one in case you already launched it previously.
* Setting up a hotkey is done by pressing the corresponding key combination, which is faster than selecting the key off a menu.
* It allows you to use any key; PH limits you to the number of keys they added the menu. Meaning that if you have a non-English keyboard with unusual keys such as ñ or ç and you want to assign hotkeys to them, you won't be able to. This problem doesn't exists in Hotkeyz.
* It supports custom macros
* It allows you save your hotkeys to custom categories (ie: you can have a category for programs, a category for folders, etc.) and filter them, which is useful if you have many hotkeys.
* It's free, of course.

It would be beneficial if your program could list all of the registered Hot Keys (Not just those created with your program)

This seems a real time saver, but...
How to be sure that some key combinations do not interfer with the default ones already encoded in the system?
(e.g. Win-Key + e to open the explorer)

Does this program include a utility/function to list all already existing key combinations?

Is it possible to set an "activation priority" in the sense that a certain key combination is "system wide" and overrides any program specific combination in case of conflict or a "subordinated level" in the sense that in case of conflict will not override the one set/coded in the active taks/prog/util?
