In reply to Bruce Fraser. If Ctrl-Alt-A does not work for you, maybe it is reserved on your system. Try another combination.

In reply to Bruce Fraser. For example, Ctrl-Alt-Del and Ctrl-Shift-Esc will cause a response, no matter what the computer may be doing at that moment. Those are universal shortcuts in Windows. How does one make Ctrl-Alt-A similar to them?

Thanks, Anand!
When I click the shortcut, it works as expected.
When I press Ctrl-Alt-A, nothing happens. Yes, I completed the step to create the keyboard shortcut.
Is there an extra step required to make a keyboard shortcut recognized anywhere and anytime in Windows, no matter what software is in the forefront at the time?
