How to remove hotkey on Amazon Kindle PC that opens application
As of today, Ctrl + Alt + k began to randomly open the Kindle application on my Windows computer. This hotkey used to open my keepass application. Is there any way to disable this hotkey? This specific hotkey isn't even listed on Amazon's own keyboard shortcuts page
Kindle Version: 1.23.1 (50133)
Windows 10 Home version 1709
The hotkey is defined on the application shortcut. You can roughly follow the instructions in https://www.laptopmag.com/articles/create-keyboard-shortcuts-windows-10:
- Open the start menu
- Search for the Kindle app
- Right click and select Open file location
- Right click on the shortcut icon and select Properties.
- Go to the "shortcut key" setting and press backspace to clear it out.
- Click OK to save.
You also need to check to see if there is a Kindle shortcut on your desktop. If so, you will also need to remove the shortcut key from that shortcut using the same instructions here.
I found that even after removing the shortcut from the start menu shortcut, ctrl+alt+k still opened the kindle app.
Press Ctrl+Alt+K to open Kindle app. Right-click on Kindle app appeared in taskbar, then right-click once more on Kindle app appeared in the context list. In that context menu left-click on Properties. Kindle app properties window should appear. Remove Ctrl+Alt+K shortcut from Shortcut key field by focusing on it and pressing Backspace. Save changes by pressing OK button.
