Sometimes it just so happens that I inadvertently hit a (wrong) key combo which appears to be doing nothing, but who knows? It might have triggered something...

I'm looking for a way (or a tool) to safely check if a certain key combo (keyboard shortcut), such as Ctrl + Shift + T, has command(s) associated with it (on my personal/customized system) and what these command(s) are. I'd like this to be a "dry run", without actually firing the (yet unknown) command.

I haven't deeply looked into this tool (xmacro), but it might be somewhat related... I wouldn't want to install/use something like a "keylogger", which I (perhaps naively) associate with "malware"; but maybe that's exactly the kind of tool which would offer this functionality?

This tool also seems to be roughly in the same ballpark... though still off-target. – nutty about natty Jan 2 at 9:52
