Hello,

I am using TKd to dray my linux/windows app which works very good!

I would like to add a global Hotkey to my program via the Win32 API function RegisterGlobalHotkey.
Is there a possibility to access Tk's event loop so that you can Handle the WM_HOTKEY message, the WinAPI sends you?

Regards,
univacc

Nevermind.
If someone has the same issue: Just create another Win32 API Window, that is hidden and let that one receive your hotkey message!

I don't think this is possible in Tcl/Tk without installing an extension as discussed here:

Tkd doesn't rely on any extensions and is just using vanilla Tcl/Tk.
