Display Global Hotkeys in Windows 10

1] ActiveHotkeys

It is a nifty freeware portable utility that shows you all the currently active global hotkeys in Windows. It displays what global keyboard shortcuts are registered by various applications.

It shows a list of : Active or Registered; and Inactive & Available, global hotkeys, and supports all possible combinations of Alt, Ctrl, Shift and Win keys with regular typewriter keys.

Windows does not allow for detecting which application has registered a particular shortcut for what function, so this feature is not included in this program.

The program does not store any data in the registry. Configuration is saved in the following folder:

C:\Documents\\Application Data\Ethervane\ActiveHotkeys\

This program is pretty useful as it tells you all the available hotkeys and also lets you identify which hotkeys are in use, and which are still available to be set by you.

You can download it from DonationCoder. Do read its Read Me file.
