Disable multiscreen hotkeys

[E9B6]

When I press CTRL+1 or CTRL+2 or ALT+1 etc, I get large numbers coming up in the centre of the monitor identifying which display.
Unfortunately I am often in a program which requires those combinations to deal with display aspects in that program.
It is driving me nuts, as I have to reboot the PC every time.
Is there a way to simply disable the multiscreen hotkeys whilst keeping them active in the programs?

Hello and welcome to the AHK-forum.

I'm using Win7 and do not know your described hotkeys, that displays "large numbers coming up in the centre of the monitor".
So I can just suggest without any warranty. You can try following. Make a hotkey that only works in your desired program.
Following example is working with Windows calculator and second example with Notepad++.

Code: Select all

$!1::
if WinActive("ahk_exe calc.exe")
send !1
return

$^1::
if WinActive("ahk_exe notepad++.exe")
send ^1
return

To find the title or ahk_class of your desired program, use WindowSpy.

This type of coding is old and surely not 250% professional. Maybe this functions will work better.

The program has hot keys, but multi screen overrides them

WZT (was zum Teufel - german version of WTF) is "multi screen"?
Without more information, I can not help. Like in real world, following law is guilty: "Less in - less out."
Which OS are you using and what is the name of your program?

This user is just using setup of two or more monitor screens for his work.

Disable screen identifying hotkeys in your graphic settings (graphic card drivers - geforce/ati/intel) start with rightclicking on the desktop and look for it.
It has nothing to do with AHK.

Thanks for your description, BriHecato. The meaning of "multi-screen" was for me nothing unknown. Only thing, which I don't know, is, if maybe this hotkeys are possibly part of newer Windows than Win7.
As I know, with every release of a new Windows OS, the amount of hotkeys is increasing. I thought, that maybe his named hotkeys are Windows hotkeys, like for example Ctrl + c or Alt + F4 etc.

Now, after you give direction, I think like you, that his named keyshorts are depending to his video-driver.
