I know this is a feature: holding down the CTRL key will cause WindowFx to
ignore a program when opening it,...... but is there some way I can map this
to a different key? I have a lot of Start Menu keyboard shortucts to launch
programs (like CTRL+ALT+N for notepad, etc. etc) and I can never remove my
finger from CTRL fast enough to keep WindowFx from ignoring the program.

It's very annoying! ;-)

Sory but not to my knowlege. My workaround is not to use, if possible, the CTRL key in my shortcuts.
Instead, I favor the use of the SHIFT+ALT combo. If you use KeyboardLaunchpad, you can create
hotkeys combo that use the win key.

Good thought. What if one wants to try disabling only WB or only WFX? There
should be an exclusion key modifier.

Yeah this should be customizable in general. I don't really want to change
my CTRL+ALT+z scheme for my Start Menu shortucts. I love it. You should see
how funny and melodramatic it looks when I do them and try to quickly
release CTRL so WindowFX doesn't ignore the app. :-)

Hey guys... BTW... when's the next beta coming out? January is over! That's
like 3 delays already since July!!!

The beta build is ready. Its just a case of waiting for it to be
approved to go onto OD which I hope will happen this week.
