Hi Snagiter,
I am using Snagit'18 with Win10.
It would be great if you can imporve the number / or possibilities of "tool hotkeys" in the windows version.
If I have tested out correctly its only possible to select the tools by CTRL+1 or CTRL+2 etc.
Issues:
1. pushing two keys - it would be great to reduce them to one (like in greenshot, or photoshop)
2. no fixed hotkeys, If i have to change the toolbar, due to a project, I change also the hotkey assignment
Solution A - "Low Budget": A fixed hotkey assignemt (A for Arrow, T for Text, M for Move and so on).
Solution B - "Medium Budget": A fixed hotkey assignemt (A for Arrow, T for Text, M for Move and so on), what can be enabled or disabled (in general) per parameter
Solution C - what is my "wishlist" - Having a menu to enable the user to customize / select & set an additional hotkey per tool. (free in combination, means with one key, two keys or three keys)
Perhaps its also possible to provide the mac-hotkeys for tools to Win10
Many thanks for your attention
best regards and a merry xmas

So jasons,
Photoshop uses single letters to select tools. You don't need a qualifier key.The only time you would is when you're actively typing in a text box.
As you will see in the image below. It's Photoshop CC and the keyboard shortcut management window.
You will see a lot of repeated letters used. But that's because on the toolbar on the left, several tools occupy the same space.
If you look at the icon I highlighted with yellow on the left. When you right-click it you can access six different tools. The one you select becomes the active tool. They all utilize the same keyboard shortcut. You can only use one tool at a time. So there's no need to assign them all at different letters. I only mention this because if you're unfamiliar with Photoshop. The shortcut menu might look confusing, with so many tools sharing the same shortcut key.
Regards, Joe

Come out and enjoy the sunrise, we all misinterpret something once in a while.
Have you ever considered a programmable keyboard? My favorite is the Logitech G510s, 3 x 18 programmable keys and as many profiles as you can keep track of. Unfortunately, no longer sold in the states, but eBay has about 5 or six used ones in the $40-$100 range.
Yes - another possibility and there's boat loads of YouTube videos.
