Description: ActiveHotkeys shows a list of all active (registered) or inactive (available) global hotkeys in Windows. (Unfortunately, Windows does not allow for detecting which application has registered a particular shortcut, so that feaure is not included.)
Category: System - Keyboard/Mouse
Writes settings to: Application folder (when started with /localconfig switch)

According to the author's post here, you can launch it with the "/localconfig" switch to write the app's .ini file in the application directory (portable use). Without this switch, I believe the .ini file is written to %AppData%\Ethervane\ActiveHotkeys\

Definitely a needed program. As I continue to do computer customization of one kind or another, knowing what shortcuts are taken up and even better what groups of shortcuts are available is a big help.

I agree. This should be submitted I'd vote

Old topic update: ActiveHotkeys (http://www.portablefreeware.com/?id=1770) was recently mentioned, so I think some info updating is in order...

This helps you determine which hotkeys are in use, and which are still available. All possible combinations of Alt, Ctrl, Shift and Win modifiers with regular typewriter keys are supported.

Please take note of the following warning:
