Global Hot Keys: Cannot bind Win key on Windows 10?

[David Piepgrass]

I tried a few combinations like Win+Ins, Win+V, Ctrl+Win+V, Shift+Win+V,
Win+Alt+V. Some of them said "Error Registering DittoHotKey" but even when
there was no error message, it didn't work. Apparently only non-Win key
combos work in Win10.

Seems like windows 10 took almost all the global win key shortcuts. A workaround is to use auto hot key, it hooks into shortcut keys at a lower level than Ditto so you can take over the win key shortcuts.

Sample auto hot key script to open Ditto with Win+Ctrl+V

#^v::
  Run C:\Program Files\Ditto\Ditto.exe /Open
Return

I want to do this too.

However, I installed Ditto from the Microsoft Store, and while I've located
ditto.db in
"C:\Users\brian\AppData\Local\Packages\60145ScottBrogden.ditto-cp_n6b029mg40na2\LocalCache\Local\Ditto_WindowsApp",
I can't find the actual Ditto executable.
