Hotkey conflicts

[RexRed]

I know this is a really complicated subject but,

When I open VPS Avenger synth VST within Cakewalk, I cannot type a search word i.e. "pad" into the patch search box because it opens the preferences window.

Even with VPS synth as the active window, Cakewalk is still responding to hotkeys. I type p for pad and the preferences dialogue box opens.

This is good because on one hand I can invoke the transport controls like play, rewind and stop while in the VST.

On the other hand I cannot search through the patch library.

Just wondering if anyone has encountered this problem?

My other VSTs don't do this and allow me to type in them.

It is nice to have the save projects hotkeys work globally also... ?

Open up the synth

Top right hand corner there is a little keyboard with the caption "Give all keystrokes to plugin"
