Finally a hardware hotkey button solution to call up X1

[w0qj]

Having an IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad, I've just discovered an interesting way to make a dedicated "hotkey" hardware button to activate the X1 Window.


ie: I can use below program to customise what program is launched by pressing the "Thinkpad" blue button. Pressing "Thinkpad" activates X1, and I can immediately begin typing in my search:

ThinkPad Button Customiser - Freeware

Finally, a hardware hotkey button solution to call up X1, rather than to press the CTRL+ALT+L that does the same.

(For other brands of notebook computers, I'm sure you can find a similar way to do this. Feel free to share your experiences on this forum).

Note: The above program is not endorsed by X1 or its moderators. This author is not associated with the developer of above program in any way.

Thanks for the tip. I now use this approach on my programmable keyboard.

I have a Logitech one with squillions of spare buttons.

I have set it so that the "Search" button creates the shortcut keystrokes used to launch X1.
