Hi Gian:

Are you saying that your application uses the keystroke alt+d to
activate some functionality?

If so, by adding a HSC hotkey for that keystroke, you have overridden
the application's pre defined keystroke for this functionality.

HSC adds an entry in the applications .jkm file for each hotspot hotkey
that you define.  In this case the entry would be:
alt+d=3DHSCAssignHotSpot

the HSCAssignHotSpot function will determine which hotspot within the
active hotspot set should be activated.  The name of the hotspot is
often the hotkey which has been specified by the user when the hotspot
was created.

If the active hotspot set has no hotspot defined for this keystroke,
then nothing will happen.

One way to resolve this problem would be to create a script which you
assign to a different keystroke, and use the PassKeyThrough function to
pass the alt+d to your application.

Hey guys,
I have an app that I have a bunch of HSC Sets created for.  When I am
in the main window there is a keystroke that is sometimes needed
{alt+D}.  This keystroke is also assigned in another set to a hotspot,
but not the active set (the main window).  The problem is that Jaws or
HSC doesn't pass this keystroke off to the app for it's use.  Any ideas?
