Subject: [MiNT] Hotkeys & global keys

Recently I added some features to Conholio (my terminal emulator project), which used CTRL+ALT+n.

Hmm... I don't think this is a rule, but I'd say that Ctrl-Alt-shortcuts should be avoided in apps.

- which key combinations are reserved for global hotkeys

Atleast Ctrl+Alt+Del/Undo/Fx. And then there's the hotkeys used in XaAES:

+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|Key combo |Action |
|----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|CTRL+ALT+CLRHOME |Redraw screen |
|----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|CTRL+ALT+A |Terminates all applications (A list of exceptions can be specified) |
|----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|CTRL+ALT+D |Open the screenshot dialog (XAAESNAP.PRG is required. See 6.6.2) |
|----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|CTRL+ALT+H |Halt the system |
|----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|CTRL+ALT+L |Open task manager |
|----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|CTRL+ALT+P |Restore palette in colour depth of 8-bits or less |
|----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|CTRL+ALT+Q |Quit XaAES |
|----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|CTRL+ALT+R |Change resolution |
|----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|CTRL+ALT+V |Unhide all applications |
|----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|CTRL+ALT+W |Global window cycling |
|----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|CTRL+ALT+X |Hide all except the currently focused application |
|----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|CTRL+ALT+Y |Hide currently focused application |
|----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|CTRL+ALT+SPACE |Open main menu bar |
|----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+SPACE |Open menu in current window if it has one, else open main menu bar |
|----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|CTRL+ALT+TAB |Cycle open applications |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

- which key combinations are and will be free to use

That I don't know.
