Trigger key priority

[FlameInYourSide]

I'm not sure exactly what to call this, so I'll just go by example.

It is easy for a windows and/or programs and/or QM to have a the same shortcut key or "trigger". What I would like to know is what order these windows and these apps get the keystroke?

From my simple experments it -seems- to go like this:
Windows
QM
window or application

Is this correct? Any more input?

BTW... I setup Windows-F to run my favorite find utility. Windows-F is aready set to run Windows own find utility. I've removed the find option from the Start Menu. This action also seems to keep Windows-F from triggering the windows find. However, Windows-F does NOT fire the QM macro. Why? It seems windows still want to trigger it's own find utility without actually doing so and won't allow any Window-key triggers to be replaced.

You are right. I'll just add more details:

1. Windows hotkeys that cannot be redefined (maybe i am not right), eg Alt+Tab, Win+F.

2. Global hot keys that can be registered by applications. These also include hotkeys assigned to shortcuts, and triggers of some macro programs.

3. Other macro programs, including QM. Highest priority has program that has started or refreshed its hooks last.

4. Window or application.
