Description

Hello NVDA Dev Team, I'm legally blind and I really appreciate what you're doing. I'm using NVDA together with OpenOffice? - and I like it very much. While using NVDA snapshots, I was wondering if you could add a shortcut key in the installation routine, for example CTRL + ALT + N, to invoke the program because I'm using Thunder with WebbIE to browse the web and therefor I need to switch between this two applications. Btw, if you need some help in terms of software testing or translations into my mother language german I'd like to hear from you. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR WONDERFUL WORK. Cheers daTscharlie

The installer already adds a desktop shortcut, with ctrl+alt+n as the shortcut key to start NVDA. 

CreateShortCut "$DESKTOP\${PRODUCT}.lnk" "$INSTDIR\${PRODUCT}.exe" "" "$INSTDIR\${PRODUCT}.exe" 0 SW_SHOWNORMAL \
 CONTROL|ALT|N "Shortcut Ctrl+Alt+N"

Does this not work in some situations?

I don't like desktop shortcuts that much, therefore I allways delete them. What about adding ctrl+alt+n to the "(start) all program" folder. I've never deleted one of those manually.

This shortcut works at all I think.
