Scroll lock hotkey issue

from Stardock Forums

Hey there,

As far as I can tell, even when the scroll lock feature is not enabled, Multiplicity still registers the key as a hotkey. As a consequence, ShareX can't register scroll lock as a hotkey. I've confirmed that Multiplicity is causing this issue (exiting Multiplicity allow me to set it as a hotkey). IMO, when the scroll lock feature is disabled, it shouldn't be registered as a hotkey so I can use it with other programs.

So my solutions are either: 
• Make the scroll lock hotkey remappable.
• Don't register scroll lock as a hotkey when the feature is disabled.

If I happen to be stupid and there's a fix for this, please do tell me.

The registration of that hotkey can be disabled by a registry key.

You can do this by creating a REG_SZ value called DisableScroll and assigning it a value of 1 at the following location : 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Stardock\Multiplicity2\Connections\Connections

Note that Connections\Connections will not exist so will need creating.  Also note this is a HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE entry not current user.

This will only take effect after rebooting the computer.
