The android studio shortcut for extract function is not working for me. If I press Ctrl+Alt+M nothing is happening and when I tried to remap it to the same shortcut, I noticed that android studio doesn't seem to recognize the shortcut at all. So I tested my keyboard and everything should be working. I even reinstalled AS no dice.
I found out that Nvidia Geforce Experience was capturing Ctrl + Alt + M shortcuts from android studio, even though I wasn't running any game, and didn't run any game recently.
To disable this annoyance go to Nvidia Geforce Experience settings and disable in-game overlay.
If it does't work check other program that you installed recently for some kind of overlay, hotkey or keyboard shortcut capturing.
I think some program captures this hotkey. See https://superuser.com/questions/1282799/what-is-preventing-ctrl-alt-m-from-reaching-intellij-on-windows-10, https://superuser.com/questions/11308/how-can-i-determine-which-process-owns-a-hotkey-in-windows. After an hour of finding hotleys with these programs I still don't know which one is capturing.
I tried some programs to show a list of Windows hotkeys. I tried to assign new hotkeys in AS and other applications (Libre Office). They don't catch Ctrl+Alt+M and Ctrl+Alt+Shift+M, while catch other.
Currently I use Ctrl+Alt+,, I added it to shortcuts (see below). You can also use Ctrl+Alt+Shift+T, then press 8. Or Ctrl+AltGr+M (right Alt).
UPDATE
On self-isolation I carried a PC home. Plugged another keyboard, now Ctrl+Alt+M works. Even if I assign this combination to other applications like Libre Office.
For Mac users: Command + Option + M
Shortcut Ctrl+Alt+M is assigned to other function in Android Studio, search it and change shoorcut. It will works
Besides what is already suggested as a culprit (Nvidia Geforce Experience in-game overlay), I found out another one.
When you have Macrium Reflect installed on your machine, the same shortcut will open a blank window (which is initially hidden in bakground, by the way, so the connection was not so evident).
I'm not sure what's the purpose of this windows, but right there you have the chance to enable/disable that shortcut, as in following picture:

I have a new installation of VS2022 (Current). If I right click on some C# code it will show "Find All References (Shift-F12)". Clicking on it will work. However, if I actually press Shift-F12, it will open an embedded browser window pointing to www.bing.com. If I go to Tools/Options/Keyboard, select "Press Shortcut Keys" and press Shift-F12 it opens up the windows search screen rather than telling me what it's bound to within VS2022.
Any ideas how to diagnose or, preferable, stop this behaviour and revert to Shift-F12 doing "Find All References"?
So the answer to this one is on the weird side. Turns out I started using a bluetooth keyboard on the same day as starting to use Visual Studio 2022. The bluetooth keyboard treats the function keys as meta commands whilst the laptop keyboard does not. F12, of course, is "Open Search". To complicate matters, it turns out that Visual Studio 2022 intercepts this command. Whilst normally it opens up the Windows Search window, while in VS2022 in regular mode it instead starts an embedded web browser within Visual Studio. Not sure why you'd want that behaviour, but it does it.
The solution is to reconfigure your bluetooth keyboard.
I have a problem with the Input Simulator in the microsoft surface SDK 2.0.
Whenever I try to simulate a finger or a blob click, the first click stays pressed (like when you put it as placeholder with right click+left click).
I don't know the reason of this behaviour since on other computers it work without problem.
Can it be because of I'm using windows in a virtual machine? If yes, is there any workaround?
I fixed this by disabling touch pen utilities which was automatically installed with surface SDK.
I have written a program for work that kills windows explorer (effectively hides desktop icons, taskbar and start menu) so no users can access the internet from our machines, this works well as most machines are touch screen so no keys can be pressed and no access to OSK, but to go a step further I am needing to disable the CTRL key when explorer is not running (Killed in my program) then enable it when they are back (Active in my program).
I've searched Google and seen a lot of ideas but none seems to work, i've got a timer that kills task manager if it starts up, the reason i need to stop CTRL is incase a keyboard is present on the machine i need to stop any shortcuts from being activated and they mostly seem to use the CTRL key.
I know they might be other short cuts but the guys who use my machines aren't the brightest bunch of people in the world but they might be one that 'is reight good ont tinternet'.
Cheers for any advice

You should look into Kiosk mode.
Here is an example of enabling it in Windows 8.1:

If you are still using Windows 7, there are workarounds, like this one:

I want to move back/forward between editor tabs, using the two additional ("virtual") mouse buttons I have (RAZER DEATHADDER BLACK).
In Eclipse it's possible by default.
In IDEA I go to File->Settings->Keymap->Main menu->Window->Editor Tabs.
There I have Select Next Tab with the deault Alt+Right shortcut.
Then I open the Add Mouse Shortcut.
In that dialog I try to assign the back button of my mouse but without success. It doesn't react at all.
Anyway, googling a bit I've found this thread. I quote Alexey Gopachenko which seems to be an employee of IntelliJ:
As stated above - we can't support buttons if JDK on your platform
does not support them - and obviously it does not.
Anyway, that is totally wrong. My platform does support these keys - I actually work with them, on the same platform, on Eclipse and any other app, so it's IDEA who ignores them.
I'd appriciate a solution - how do I assign these back/forward mouse buttons?
UPDATE #1
I've found out that IDEA uses its own JAVA distribution (C:\Program Files (x86)\JetBrains\IntelliJ IDEA 11.1.4\jre on Windows 7), instead of the system's one - WHY?!
I'm almost SURE that is the reason I cannot use extended mouse buttons.
I've tried to trick IDEA by creating a custom Windows shortcut. Didn't work. I've also tried to create a SYMLINK in windows to my other, system-wide JRE distribution. Didn't work as well.
If someone come up with an idea on how to make it work with the system's JRE instead of its own - I think that'd solve the issue.
UPDATE #2
The above update #1 is not the issue.
I also had the same problem under OS X El Capitan. I just tried to add a new Keyboard-Shortcut and pressed than the Button 4 on the mouse and this worked.
Back/Forward mouse shortcuts work fine for me with Razer Mamba mouse, for example Back action is assigned to Button4 Click and I can confirm that it is recognized in this dialog when I click on the Click Pad area:
If it doesn't work with your mouse for some reason, you can try to workaround the problem using the Razer Configurator macro or key assignments:
Use the assigned key in IDEA keymap settings instead of the mouse shortcut.
Note that Eclipse is SWT based while IDEA is Swing based, so mouse event management is completely different. If JDK cannot recognize your device button clicks, it will not work in any Java Swing applications (NetBeans, JEdit, etc). In some cases running IDEA under a more recent JDK version may help (if support for your device was added in the newer JDK release).
I'm experiencing the exact same thing suddenly.
I realized my most recent change was to start using idea64.exe rather than idea.exe.
I switched back, and my mouse buttons are working fine again.
So, while this is not a complete answer, it seems as if it has something to do with the 64-bit version.
If the Razer driver's button mapping feature doesn't allow different mappings for a particular program, you can just assign the buttons to the mouse button number choices (mouse button 4 / mouse button 5) and then install a third party app that does support mappings for particular programs, e.g. https://superuser.com/questions/562972/how-to-map-bind-mouse-button-as-keyboard-button-in-windows-7
This question helped me although I have a Logitech Marathon Mouse M705, so I thought that I would share the solution in case other Logitech owners was in search for this.
I have a similar problem with a Logitech mouse and idea64.exe
Fortunately their SetPoint software allows for program specific settings.
This setting will have to be deleted and then reconfigured whenever you update IntelliJ and get a new idea64.exe :-)
I am experiencing a very similar problem and wanted to share my findings. I just bought a new Logitech M705 mouse. Within intelli-j the scroll right and scroll left buttons do not work. The forward and backward buttons also do not work.
I typically run intelli-j as administrator because I need higher privileges to run various tomcat services. When logging in as that user (rather than right clicking and selecting run as admin) all the buttons work! Also, when running as my normal user all the buttons work.
Also very curious is that I have an older generation Logitech mouse (same model, M705). This mouse has no problems with the scroll buttons and forward-back.
My solution for now is to use intelli-j as the user I am logged in as.
Check out this little tutorial from BetterTouchTool here. Basically for some mice (like Logitech ones) using the settings application they come with you can map default button actions to clicks and in doing so set a button number and use it as normal.
This works for my Logitech Performance MX mouse.
You can add mouse shortcuts, just click on an action in keymap and add mouse shortcut.
Alternatively Ctrl+Tab brings up switcher, which may be less clicks to navigate.
Im trying to send keystrokes and mouse movements to a Java program but once the applicaton has focus nothing is sent. It's as if the Java application takes focus of everything because Autohotkey stops responding. Everything works fine in a regular Windows app (e.g. Notepad).
I've tried using various send methods (Send, SendInput, and SendEvent) but nothing works. Does anyone have any suggestions?
The program in particular is ThinkOrSwim's ThinkDesktop.
I was able to get my script running with ThinkOrSwim by running the SciTE editor as Administrator [or running the compiled scripts as Administrator].
The TOS UI had some refresh issues but my scripts went through fine to do what I needed to do.
Some playing around I've discovered that TOS on Mac OSX can be controlled via scripting with Keyboard Maestro. It's a ugly, hacked solution, but it works. You can edit text boxes and click stuff if you know the X,Y position of elements.
Keyboard Maestro can be run via scripts (AppleScript, Python, etc.) so maybe you can build some elaborate rube goldberg.
I suggest you use Easy Macro Recorder
http://download.cnet.com/Easy-Macro-Recorder/3000-2094_4-10414139.html
Its a great tool to automate keystrokes and mouse movements.
Hope this helps :)
