Eyecopia Hotkey
Eyecopia provides this hotkey assignment for those of us who like to use the keyboard more than the mouse. A hotkey is a key press combination that sends a command, like Ctrl+S for saving documents. The Eyecopia Hotkey will open the main Eyecopia interface whenever it is pressed. By default, the Eyecopia hotkey is the Windows key plus the letter Y. The Windows key is located on most keyboards in the bottom row on the left side of the spacebar. Some keyboards display a different Windows symbol than the one shown above, but it is often very similar.
You may customize which letter is used in the white text field. You may not assign a letter that is already used on your computer. For example, you may not enter the letter E, since Windows+E is used to open the Explorer window. In order for the Eyecopia hotkey to work, Eyecopia must be in operation but it may be minimized in your taskbar or in the system tray.
Eyecopia Auto-Start
You can set Eyecopia to start automatically whenever you log in to Windows by checking the box shown in the image above. You can change this option at any time. If you have multiple user accounts on your PC, and want Eyecopia to open no matter who signs in, you will need to check this box for each account individually.
