Default Fences hotkey conflicts with Windows builtin hotkey

Win+space is a Windows bultin hotkey and Fences conflicts with it

Windows uses Win+space to switch between the available keyboard languages.

Fences overrides this with its "Show Fences" and is blocking access to the aforementioned functionality.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. But, do know you can always change your hotkeys to something else if the default one is conflicting with other application.

Thank you,

Yeah, I disabled the hotkey altogether.

And I give you that remapping it would be a reasonable option if it was a conflict "with another application", but it's a conflict with Windows itself.

The user might not care if they don't have multiple languages set up, but I'd think it would be a good idea to make the default something that doesn't clash with Windows core functionality.

I don't need any specific response.

My issue is solved. I'm just giving a suggestion so that hopefully in the future users don't need to solve it. :)

Hello,

Great news, Dev just came back and responded to your request. There will be changes in future update where people who is using two keyboard layouts will auto set to "Win+Shift+D" as hotkey for Show Fences. We appreciate your feedback.
