Hi,

I made an fast dictionary for translating from english
to my native language. Besides the normal usage, It can
'read' the clipboard and can be called from a tray and
even from a global keyboard hook.

Now, I got to a silly problem. First, I let the user to
chose what will be the hook key (F9,F10,F11 or F12).

That was not a good idea because many (even simple)
apps already has all this defined, so in a real usage it
calls both: my dictionary and BCB Compile, etc

Then I involved Alt + [f9,f10,f11 or f12], but even then
BCB, MS Word, ... has many (I think all) of that defined.

What would you do? Now I'm considering Alt + [~], it's
close enough and I think unusual.


Best regards,
Vladimir Stefanovic
