Can't map Windows+V as the shortcut key

[MangelMaxime]

Hello,

When trying to set Win+V for the shortcut key windows always display its own Clipboard manager suggestion.

To workaround this limitation I used AutoHotKey to capture Win+V and send the shortcut I configured in PasteBar.

I also found that PasteBar don't seems to allows settings any shortcut that use Win+<any key>

@MangelMaxime Windows does not allow assigning custom application shortcuts to Win + any letter key combinations because most Win key shortcuts are reserved by the system (e.g., Win + V opens the Clipboard History).

@kurdin Oh I didn't know that.

Because AutoHotKey can do it, I assumed it was a bug in PasteBar but perhaps this is limitation like you mention.

@MangelMaxime Yeah, AutoHotKey might be doing something else but I'll double check if this is possible with library I use for system shortcuts management.

Here is what I found from AutoHotKey documentation.

Hotkeys that include Win (e.g. #a) will wait for Win to be released before sending any text containing an L keystroke. This prevents usages of Send within such a hotkey from locking the PC.
