Which key should I use?
I am going to make a bg program that will do specific things when two keys are pressed, (The shortcut key and the action key.) for an example, 'shortcut key' + 'A' will do something, and 'shortcut key' + 'G' will do something else, etc.
Then question is, what should my 'shortcut key' be? I don't want to use 'alt' or 'ctrl' because that might also trigger something else in the active program.
Suggestions?
Make it a configurable option.
ctrl+alt+shift
ctrl-alt-shift won't work.I am going to make a bg program that will do specific things when two keys are pressed

I guess you are right, consider three keys instead of two maybe. Though then if a user only has two fingers, you may be in trouble
ctrl + alt + del maybe
Or what about alt-F4
Nevermind, I am just going to use mouse button combinations.

Only some idiot would fall for one of those.

you could use SPACE + A, B, C, D...etc

Same problem with space.
