Hiya Paul. Am referring to Copernic. I haven't found anything as
good (=responsive and high priority) as this little simple utility.
I am sure something must exist. Other people may not be clear that
CTRL SHIT ALT LETTER combos feel very different to WIN combos!

But as you are twisting my arm :-) then I would suggest you try
PowerPro (which is free) as it will issue commands "outside" the
Windows shell and it can set the WINkey with or without SHIFT, CTRL
or ALT. So you get a lot of extra combos.

Powerpro has a few mirrores home pages and this is as good as any:

Powerpro can feel a bit complicated at first but hang on in there,
read the sample config and you need to set a new key on the
"Key/Mouse" definition screen.
