Agreed. Some people like hot keys and others don't personally I would never want a single hotkey for shutdown or restart. The last thing I want is to accidentally hit F6 when I meant to hit a 7 and have my system shut down!
When F6 and F8 are possible. What will happen when I press the Windows key. Windows key gives access to the Metro menu.
I dont no what you meen with Snagit.
SnagIt has a "Hotkey" tab in the options menu that allows you to assign key combinations to various functions. It starts with a set of defaults but you can change or eliminate whichever ones you want.
This may not be what you really want but you can add the icons for restart, shutdown, etc., to the bottom of the menu screen by right clicking in the empty area next to the existing power icons.
