MobaXterm captures hotkeys when I am in another program

Question

For example, while in Notepad++ when I press ctrl+alt+m, MobaXterm opens a local terminal session. How can I stop this, please? I don't want MobaXterm capturing anything in my Windows environment.

This is driving me nuts!

Windows 7 machine. MobaXterm Personal v10.5

Answer 1

There's no built-in option to disable the pop-up terminal, but you can disable/change the specific hotkey that is interfering:

1. Click Settings --> Keyboard Shortcuts.
2. Select a hotkey to be modified (Show / hide popup terminal in your case).
3. Select the "Edit Keyboard Shortcut" drop down box and select a different hotkey or <none> to disable.
4. Restart MobaXterm

Answer 2

When one presses CTRL+ALT+M MobaXterm's default hotkey is "Show/hide popup terminal".

In order to change that, in the top bar, press Settings > Keyboard shortcuts

A popup where one can edit the Hotkeys will appear. The last one "Show / hide popup terminal" is the one you are looking for.

In the drop-down "Edit keyboard shortcut" select None and that wont bother you again
